from I Bought a Supercomputer and Accidentally Summoned Skynet
by Josh SI installed the AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 7995WX and now my toaster connects to Wi-Fi, my fridge has opinions, and Windows asks me if it’s allowed to update. This thing has so many cores that when I open Task Manager, I feel like I’m looking at the Matrix. Rendering a video? Done before I finish clicking “Export.” Running a game? The processor doesn’t even notice—it’s too busy solving prime numbers in the background. Downsides? My electricity meter spins faster than a jet engine, and I swear the lights dim when I hit “compile.” Also, the fan noise is roughly equivalent to a helicopter taking off, but hey—that’s just my house trying to achieve liftoff. In short: If you ever wanted to feel like Tony Stark working in a garage full of arc reactors, buy this CPU. Just remember: when it asks you what pronouns you prefer, don’t sass it—because it will out think you.
