    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    With its massive core count and extended memory support, AMD’s top-of-the-range 96-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX was designed to set performance records among the best desktop and workstation CPUs.

    But AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro has another trump up its sleeve: overclocking capability.

    At around 4.80 GHz, AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX has managed to set several records in various versions of Cinebench benchmarks:

    Such achievements break ‘the overclocked multi-thread performance world record,’ as AMD puts it.

    A 4.80 GHz clock speed on AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX was achieved to make the overclocking results even more impressive.

    At the same time, the CPU was cooled by an air cooler, a vast IceGiant ProSiphon Elite featuring four fans, and a heatsink that weighed 1440 grams.

              How long until the x86 architecture is relegated to a line of overpriced, crypto-mining space heaters?

                We overestimate what can be done in 1 year, but underestimate what can be done in 10.

                  you think I was kidding and then accuse me of underestimating, lol. I’m thinking of some background joke in a S7 episode of Black Mirror:

                  Year: 2035. Guy in a remote cabin plugs in space heater with a sticker labeled: “Intel Inside” next to a Bitcoin logo

              Fair question - I was mainly joking about it, but I do love the idea of heating my home this winter for cheaper than with gas (in the UK) whilst contributing to medical science
