AMD® Ryzen™ Threadripper 2990X

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X is a desktop processor with 32 cores and 64 threads, built on the Zen+ architecture. It launched in 2018. Clocks run from 3.4 GHz base to 4.2 GHz boost. A 64-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.6 MB per core). Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X scores 2,312 in single-core performance and 25,874 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,734 for overall performance, 20,055 for productivity performance, 18,392 for creator performance, 36,224 for engineering performance and 13,405 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 809 per core and 404 per thread. Its performance index is 96, so its overall performance is 4% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X scores 217,300 in integer math, 113,411 in floating-point math, 783,155 in compression, 30,027 in cryptography, 536 in physics simulation, 35,860 in vector SIMD, 31 in the prime sieve and 49,381 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 269% above in integer math, 147% above in floating-point math, 243% above in compression, 161% above in cryptography, 51% below in physics simulation, 131% above in vector SIMD, 54% below in the prime sieve and 118% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X has 32 physical cores and runs 64 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 4.20 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X is a desktop processor, belongs to the AMD Threadripper family and uses the Zen+ architecture. It launched in 2018.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X has 3 MB of L1 cache, 16 MB of L2 cache and 64 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 83.0 MB of cache, or 2.59 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 3 MB, L2 at 16 MB and L3 at 64 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 77% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

Instruction sets, security, virtualization, AI acceleration and OS readiness. Features are listed as supported, explicitly not supported, or not recorded; a feature that is not recorded is not the same as unsupported.
