Just Realized R9 Is Renamed TR In Concept

[4K_240hz_MLED]

Before 3rd Gen, there was 1900X, 1950X, 2900X, and 2950X, (and others) that are ThreadRipper. But starting with Zen2, 3900X and 3950X are considered to be Ryzen 9 which that naming didn't exist prior. Of course, Ryzen CPUs ending in 70 and 90 are still called ThreadRipper. It may have been obvious to all of you, but to me not really.

3900x and 3950x ryzen 9s aren't thread rippers. They are just ryzen cpus which you can actually buy in real life.

Read the title, technically they're not, but in concept they sort of are. It's kind of like the RTX 3090 being a renamed Ampere Titan card. At the end of the day Ryzen 9 and TR are HEDT CPUs with a crap ton of cores and threads, with a somewhat weaker single core performance to balance out the insane multi core performance. Just like how the 3090 and Titan cards are enthusiast desktop GPUs that offer a crap ton of VRAM but otherwise not a lot better than the cards directly below them. Kind of weird for Nvidia to name it 3090 though, since older gamers will remember the 590 and 690 as also ending in 90 but having SLi.

maybe if you compare it to a older thread rippers but ryzen still is not a thread ripper. Even the oldest thread ripper is 16 cores min. to 64 with the best one but are absolute power hogs While also having much lower clocks. Better for workstation and servers. While ryzen maxs at 16 cores even in the 5950 x But at higher clock speeds and boost clocks. Being more efficient and better for gaming due to a higher per core clock. Also thread rippers use a tr4 or whatever and ryzen is am4. Basicly thread ripper is raw multicore power while ryzen is efficency with better single core perfomance. Otherwise under your logic the intel 11900k 16 core myswell be a thread ripper too.
It's just simply as they shrink die size they add more cores to processors. Eventually well probably have a humdred cores in the smaller cpus and by that time thread rippers and server cpus will be in the thousands.

ThreadRipper isn't for workstations nor servers as someone pointed out to me before. Epyc is used for that and also only with 3rd Gen did TR go up to 64 cores and 128 threads.

Stop putting words into my mouth, my logic doesn't ever equate Intel with AMD processors. The only legit comparisons between Intel and AMD is that they're both x86-64 and support at least Windows; Xeon is to Epyc as Core Extreme is to ThreadRipper.

The 11900KF only has 8 cores, 16 threads and performs even worse than the 10900K. Only logical conceptual comparison would be i9 being a renaming of i7 Extreme. You're not fooling anyone here.
