> But high-core CPUs are typically slower per core. While this is true for intel CPUs, this hasn't been the case for AMD Threadripper. The 2990wx has marginally higher single core performance than the 2700x (https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_threadripper_2990wx-886-vs-amd_ryzen_7_2700x-876 https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_threadri...), while the 3990x has only slightly lower single core performance than the 3700x (https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_threadripper_3990x-977-vs-amd_ryzen_9_3950x-932 https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_threadri...).
