   I Picked a threadripper for a box that needed a lot of IO and figured that with that many PCI lanes I couldn't go wrong. But I have to admit I've been more than pleasantly surprised by the performance of the CPU as well, it - easily - outperforms all of the XEON and I7 based boxes that I have. The only thing I wished I would have done different is to max it out with 256G DIMMs when they weren't the price of a car.

      I’ve been running the 64 core (128 logical cores) Threadripper PRO 3995WX in my dev machine for 4 years now (with 256gb ram).

      Not sure I’ll need to upgrade my computer ever again :D
