What movie?

At some point we are no longer in the 'gaming' game. And while the AMD Threadripper is advertised as a SUV of a chip, it is in fact a real truck. Real benchmark for real user are needed for these chips. Most of which will be used for video and CAD.

I couldn't agree more. We reference Paul's articles throughout the review as he does a thorough analysis of this processor in its native habitat.
Unfortunately for me, I review motherboards and its difficult to compare chipset A against chipset B if B doesn't run some of the same applications well. Kind of like me running an APU against Threadripper's applications. As we continue to test more TR4 boards (and yes, they are coming) this baseline of data will prove useful as the test suite has a good compromise of technical requirements and runs fairly consistently across all review samples. If there's a specific workload you want to see, feel free to let me know!
