WIRED2FIRE TRX50 EXTREME 5090 WORKSTATION

A strong spec for the money, especially as it will benefit from a free upgrade to the Threadripper 9980X

- 

Wired2Fire is a new name in our workstation Labs test, but from this first foray we expect to be seeing the Surrey-based company more often.

The TRX50 Extreme 5090 is a potent combination of components that offers many strengths for content creation tasks.

Central to the TRX50 is its Ryzen Threadripper 7980X processor, a 64-core (128-thread) CPU with a base 3.2GHz clock and 5.1GHz boost mode. Wired2Fire has confirmed that this system will be supplied with the Threadripper 9980X for the same price (see p85 for a side-by-side comparison in select benchmarks).

Wired2Fire supplies 256GB of 5,600MHz DDR5 memory as four 64GB modules, taking advantage of the CPU's quad-channel bandwidth. These take up all four DIMM slots on the Asus Pro WS TRX50 Sage WiFi motherboard, but 256GB is plenty.
