He didn’t just switch to AMD, he switched to the 32 core Threadripper 3970x.

  I'd love to have one of these in my gaming rig, but even with my 1700 I rarely have cpu bottlenecks.

    Most games aren't that multi-threaded. So it would actually end up being a lot slower than a 10900k.

  I mean, he wasn't about to splash for an AMD9080ADC...

  Same as Greg K-H's new computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37RP9I3_TBo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37RP9I3_TBo

  Wonder why not 64 core Threadripper 3990x?

    My guess: Amdahl's Law vs the noise made by the cooler.

      Yes, he says in the video that one of the goals was to put together a system that was as quiet as possible.

        They are same TDP

    One possibility would be the 3990X's lower base clock of 2.9GHz vs. the 3.7GHz of the 3970X.
