Single thread performance is not really a good metric for what this proc is designed for. There are few, if any, server designed softwares that would even need to test single-thread.
It's still a desktop CPU, there are people who will want to play games on it when they aren't compiling code or rendering videos.
Isn't it a "workstation" CPU rather than a "desktop"? Afaik it's aimed at productivity software, not games
I have 5800X3D because I primarily game on the system, but it's fast enough to do other compute work. Games will probably work just fine even on these multithreaded monsters when you feel like it after mostly doing work on it. It's just prioritizing.
Agree, i still have a DD 1950x threadripper from, like, 10 years ago. Built it for something else, use it for literally everything now. It is outperformed by almost any newer gen AMD cpu and its a bottleneck with a 6900xt, but all of this is to be expected, it wasnt a powerhouse single core then and it definitely shows its age now.
