AI systems are the new hungry monster. They're still pretty slow on expensive hardware and not everything is GPU based for reasons I don't fully understand. (I've got GTX/4090s and TR/3990x with 256GB of pretty fast ram and an NVME array for storage and have done a bunch of things related to AI/ML where I walk away for a few hours or even a day - both CPU and GPU get pretty taxed.) CPUbenchmark is giving the new chip about a 100% improvement over the 3990x which is fairly tempting even at the 6-10k price tag I've seen floating around.
