AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is continuing to break world records, delivering staggeringly fast performance across much of HWBOT’s benchmarking lineup. 

Now, AMD’s overclocking team has gotten in on the action, with the American overclocker Sampson achieving a new Cinenbench R20 record of 40,527 points. This was achieved on an ASRock TRX40 Taichi motherboard with a Ryzen Threadripper 3990X at 5.25GHz. 

This overclock was achieved using liquid nitrogen and G’Skill’z Trident Z Royal series memory, which was running at CAS 14 timing and 2800MHz memory speeds. Only time will tell if other Threadripper 3990X overclockers will be able to surpass this record in time. 

At stock, AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 3990X can already deliver mindbending levels of CPU performance in multi-threaded tasks, but in the world of hardcore overclocking, a CPU’s stock performance is never enough. One has to wonder if we will ever see such a high Cinebench R20 score on a consumer-grade CPU at stock, and if so, how long will it take for such a processor to hit the market?
