1000W CPU: The Most Powerful Desktop Processor

[Mike]

Dave tests three Threadripper Pro 7995WX configurations from HP, Dell, and a homebrew system that pulls more than 1000W, or one mechanical horsepower.

It looks like Dave has really put the latest Threadripper Pro 7995WX through its paces with this test. If you're considering a high-power configuration around this processor, here are some important points to think about, derived from the video and common knowledge:

• Power Consumption: All three configurations highlighted in the video draw over 1000W under load. This is important for users to consider, especially when planning their power supply units (PSUs) and overall energy consumption.
• Cooling Solutions: High power output means significant heat generation. Each configuration will require advanced cooling solutions, whether that's liquid cooling or high-end air cooling systems.
• Performance Metrics: The Threadripper Pro 7995WX packs impressive computational power, ideal for tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and large-scale simulations.
• Custom Configuration: The homebrew system presents an interesting option for enthusiasts who prefer to tailor-make their setup. However, this level of customization requires a solid understanding of PC building and maintenance.
• Brand Choice: The HP and Dell configurations offer more out-of-the-box reliability and support. Nevertheless, these pre-built systems typically come at a higher price tag and may offer less flexibility in customization.

Here is a comparison table based on typical considerations:

Configuration	Power Consumption (Watts)	Cooling	Customization	Support
HP	1000W+	Advanced Air/Liquid	Limited	Professional
Dell	1000W+	Advanced Air/Liquid	Moderate	Professional
Homebrew	1000W+	Custom Liquid	High	Self-sourced/Mixed

Feel free to share your thoughts or any specific aspects you're interested in discussing about these configurations!
