I've been thinking about upgrading to an i9-9980XE Threadripper 3, but I noticed Windows 10 Pro doesn't support certain core and thread counts. It's unclear if it's worth it, whether it will run games smoothly, or what the NVDIMM-N would be. I haven't seen any videos on Windows 10 Pro for workstations, especially since Linus typically uses Windows Server with more powerful systems.

Windows 10 Pro is compatible with your current hardware. This version is built for powerful systems, offering features like quad socket support and enhanced networking speeds over 10GbE. Performance remains consistent unless you require advanced capabilities, as some limitations have been simplified for workstation use.

It functions regardless of whether Threadripper 3990WX supports 64GB/128TB as reported in leaks, and recently you upgraded to a 10GbE and changed something the previous day.

I think OP is talking about the scheduler issue in Windows that appears under heavy CPU usage, especially with many cores.

Consumer hardware doesn’t require the workstation edition of 10.

It seems the issue remains consistent across Windows versions. The scheduler doesn’t improve performance, there’s only one socket available, and networking speed stays slow. Windows 10 has no core restrictions—it relies on sockets, which are all single-core processors.

The video addresses TR but the issue also impacts certain Intel CPUs. Edit, I seem to have misread your point. It appears upgrading to WFW won't resolve the problem. You're likely right. Apologies for the confusion.

You could use dual socket support with ThreadRipper 3990WX. The leaks mentioned that dual socket support is available only for Ryzen ThreadRipper models.

This was about the numa bug on windows, its present on windows 10 and windows server. The fig was a third parts program that stopped numa jumping. The edition of windows didin't matter Look here https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a...&num=2 Performance between windows server and windows desktop is pretty simmilar, there isn't big gains going to server. I don't think there making a dual socket threadripper, but even if they did, windows 10 pro support dual socket, windows 10 pro for workstationsi s only needed for quad socket and above.

Looks like I might have misunderstood the sites or missed some details. Let me clarify.
