There's a reason AMD is doubling FPU width in Zen 2 afterall. If you like I could give you a sample file and my Handbrake settings so we could see just how fast Threadripper really is. Handbrake uses AVX also so that's about as demanding a scenario as you're going to find.
#CINEBENCH SCORE LOWER AFTER OVERCLOCK PLUS#
That's on an 850W Seasonic Focus Plus Gold which is 91.76% efficient in Hardocp's testing at 50% load. My 4GHz 7960x system with 32GB DDR4 3000, ~7x 120mm fans, D5 pump, 15x 7200RPM 4-8TB NAS Hard Drives, 1x 2.5" SATA SSD, 2x m.2 NVME SSDs, and a GTX 1660 pulls down no more than 435W from the wall when running Handbrake batch encodes with Plex Media Server running in the background actively streaming with hardware transcoding enabled. It's one thing to be power hungry and not offer top tier performance, it's an entirely different matter when your products consume more power whilst providing more performance, as is the case with Intel's HCC chips in the vast majority of workloads. It is because Intel never intended to operate their HCC Skylake-X SKUs at such high clockspeeds. You need to delid, overclock, and get a 360 ro 280mm radiator on that thing, otherwise it's a huge waste of potential. You'll get 3.1GHz all-core speeds if you use a 240mm radiator, and now a whole lot more. Intel took such a ridiculously expensive and power-hungry chip and then used TIM instead of solder. Now you can see what a joke that 165W TDP is, but that's only half the problem. They 7960X at stock speeds is 75W hungrier than the Threadripper 1950X when measured using power draw at the wall, and the threadripper is rated at 180W to the Intel 165W. I know because I have 16 of them in a farm used for VRay ray tracing purposes. Meanwhile, Ryzen 1950X will run using a 92mm air cooler in an mATX case at 3.7GHz+ all-core without any problems. You need to delid, overclock, and get a good quality triple radiator on that thing, otherwise it's a huge waste of potential. You'll get 3.1GHz all-core speeds if you use a 240mm radiator, and it's unlikely you'll get a whole lot more, silicon lottery permitting.
I'm simply extrapolating based on the fact that lower-end models end up with the lower-binned dies. The complete lack of any reputable 7940X reviews makes me suspicious that Intel know that it's a power-draw and cooling nightmare, and therefore never sent any samples out to reviewers. Note that the 7940X is lower-binned silicon, it's likely to be leakier and more defective than the 7960X that is commonly reviewed. The 7960X at stock speeds is 75W hungrier than the Threadripper 1950X when measured using power draw at the wall, and the threadripper is rated at 180W to the Intel 165W. The Skylake X chips are stupidly power-hungry and barely manage their base clock if you provide only the "official" 165W of cooling. Yeah, delid if you're willing to take that risk.
