System76 Launches Threadripper Workstations

Apply a circular motion blur in 44 seconds

Much of the design process is bogged down from waiting for your design program to, as top-notch designers say, “Just finish already!” With 64 Cores, you can stay focused on modifying your image, rather than your schedule. Use the following instructions to replicate this test on your own machine. How does your computer measure up #vs3990X?

Warning: Regular computers and weak-minded robots may be utterly obliterated under pressure from attempting to perform such an intensive task.

Render a blender scene in 76 Seconds

(It was a coincidence, we swear)

Watching your project render is like watching paint dry, except in this case the paint is also using up much of your computer’s resources. So we tried it on a computer that can take the heat and quickly channel it out the exhaust port. Use the following instructions to replicate this test on your machine at home. How does your computer measure up #vs3990X on Thelio Major?
