Threadripper 1950X Performance First Look

Our friends at Hot Hardware thankfully have a first look at Ryzen Threadripper 1950X performance!

We want to underscore the fact that this is a very early prototype system from Alienware, and while the Threadripper 1950X performance metrics you’ll see on the pages ahead won’t change much when the chips officially launch in a matter of days now, literally anything within the Dell system itself could change and very likely at least a few aspects of it will. As such, we’re going to reserve passing on any final assessments of Alienware’s early prototype Area-51 Threadripper Edition system, and rather spend our resources here primarily on the performance of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-core processor that is the “brains of the operation,” so to speak.
