Uh oh, my Radeon software says my ThreadRipper Pro is too slow. LOL

I'm setting up my new ThreadRipper Pro 3955WX (16 core) + 256 GB ECC RDIMM + Radeon RX 580 system, and I saw this. (The Radeon was transplanted from my previous system, a Ryzen 7 2700X, because GPUs are too expensive right now.)

I just thought it was amusing.

LMAO that's AMD telling you to get the 3990X instead.

Not exactly "Gaming" CPU, maybe they just have nothing to compare with ?.

It should be pretty comparable to a Ryzen 9 3950X (same Zen 2 architecture, same number of cores, but possibly a different core & chiplet layout) or ThreadRipper 3960X (same Zen 2 architecture, 1.5x the cores of the 3955WX, but that shouldn't matter for gaming anyway).

But you're right, it's probably because this isn't a gaming CPU.

So I would say they probably just didn't bother to add it to their database (yet?) because even though it would be fairly easy to do, it's probably near the bottom of their list of things to do.

Still, I thought it was funny.
