The Intel Xeon W-3175X 28-core / 56-thread CPU was a chart-topping performer when it launched at the beginning of the year, but now has closer competition. With the Threadripper 3970X and 3960X CPUs, following up the Ryzen 9 3950X, it's time to revisit the 3175X for efficiency and overall performance. We'll be benchmarking power, gaming, production workloads, overclocking, and more. This includes an important look at video editing and rendering with Adobe Premiere, where the 3175X excelled at launch.
