Finally some serious competition. Not sure I am quite ready to switch....some bad AMD experiences.
But if it matches the 7900x, that's a pretty good upgrade.

Some more benchmarks

AMD RYZEN Threadripper 1950X 16-Core / 32 Threads for $880

Second generation coming soon

• Threadripper 2900X – 8 cores / 16 threads (YD290XA8U8QAF)
• Threadripper 2920X – 12 cores / 24 threads (YD292XA8UC9AF)
• Threadripper 2950X – 16 cores / 32 threads (YD295XA8UGAAF)

Second gen timing

Cool. But Adobe Premiere still won't be able to use all cores, right?

Threadripper 1950X dropped to $269

Making it best video editing long time workstation initial investment.

It is slower than new 3900X in some tasks, but good boards are much cheaper and you can put much more RAM and stuff in such system, including using many GPUs for Resolve.

Add to this open box X399 board with 10Gbit LAN for only $339 and you are set for next 10 years, as board will also play nice with 32 core Threadripper 2. Plus you can really add 4 full speed big GPUs to it.

That 1920x looks tempting, i see it $199 from my side, whats a good motherboard to combine it with, I got 1080 ti as my main GPU now on the xeon workstation from a few years ago.

@sammy

Can check nice test of this exact CPU

Just note that all Adobe benchmarks have not huge sense, as today their code is not loving many cores and prefer fewer fast ones. It is especially bad in Photoshop and After effects.

Despite video/effects rendering being perfect task for multi core / multi GPU rig, almost all NLE sucks badly. As far as I know no one can different render parts of all video on different parts of CPU (or different GPU). And it is very basic thing.
