I like the naming. 2990WX. Guess the 2970WX will be the sweet spot.
Man I need one for my Ray Tracing. But this damn thing is already 2

If you don't have meaningful competition, there is little reason not to squeeze out as much profit as possible. If not for Ryzen, we wouldn't see 6 core Intel consumer chips.
