  1. I'll sound very disrespectful, but this kind of a review (I know this is a refresh, it doesn't matter this time) is ... not good for this type of a CPU. First thing: too much gaming benchmarks. It's a waste of time for everybody. Not even streamers should look for this CPU. So, gaming benchmarks for this kind of a CPU should be between none or at most 2 games, with several seconds of airtime. The other thing: the productivity benchmarks... are too few. This kind of CPU is rarely for one person and rendering jobs are not everything. This kind of CPU is mostly used in servers. Besides rendering, there's also databases, of many kinds, applications, web servers and above all... virtual machines. That photoshop score was kind of meh. But how does it do with 6 photoshop at once, each in a different virtual machine ? How about 7 ? Or 8 ? How does the threadripper or R9 3950 fare in this ? How many queries per second can it do ? Requests per second ? How much RAM can it have ? How well does it run a special algorithm ? Or another algorithm, but in 50 instances ? Or Docker container farms ? In this video, W-3175X won confortably the 7-Zip compression benchmark. How many other applications/workloads does it win in ? Probably not many, if any. But we don't know. And this video sheds way too little light. If you start to factor all the things said above, you start to realize that this kind of a review misses the point for this kind of a CPU. It spends too much time on benchmarks that are not relevant, misses a lot of benchmarks or workloads that are relevant, and I guess it also kind of speaks to the wrong audience. All in all I think this is just mostly a time waster. The folks at the big corporations that buy these CPUs don't decide based on this review. And those of us who look at this never buy something like this.
