Re:64 Core Threadripper 3990X CPU Review by traskjd on Thursday February 13, 2020 @04:17AM (#22316377)
This is actually something I find Microsoft does poorly for enthusiasts (both the crowd buying these types of chips, but also who care about a scheduler). They have VERY low visibility into these types of improvements.

I can find a billion blog posts about notepad supporting Linux and Windows line returns. I struggle to find anything about improvements for new hardware.

I wish there was a blog (albeit unfashionable these days) or similar which told these stories. I often feel the lack of their existence is a taint on data driven decisions: these customers are likely insignificant, but their influence on others is significant (even if their advice isn’t “buy a 64 core CPU”, it will be “Windows 10 is great, use that!”).

I’ve largely been a MSFT fanboy since a young age, and I kind of get being mainstream, but tossing a bone to the enthusiastic supporters would be nice.

Linus Tech Tips started as a vlog, and is fairly popular.

They called out this problem between Threadripper 3990X and Windows 10 a bit ago.

It was good. Love Linus.

This was his video on the 3990X recently for those interested: https://youtu.be/1LaKH5etJoE
