AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X

$1,415 amd.com While we still recommend the mainstream Ryzen 7 2700X or Core i7-8700K for gaming, they clearly can’t keep pace with Threadripper in productivity-oriented applications. Intel’s Skylake-X processors are still brutally fast, but you’ll also pay a premium for the privilege of owning one. The Threadripper 2950X offers a lot more performance at a lower price than the first-gen Threadripper did at launch.
