Why don't we use the fastest possible processors in all devices?

Most software (e.g., web browsers, games, basic applications) does not utilize that many cores. Gaming prefers high clock speeds, while the 7995WX is optimized for multi-threaded workloads like 3D rendering, AI training, and simulations.

And, this happens every time. Once you buy the fastest processor available, there would be faster processor available — faster than what you just buy. If you keep waiting for the fastest one, you will never get any device.

The 7995WX is designed for professionals in industries like VFX, engineering, and AI research.

If Donald Trump becomes the President, will it affect the jobs for Indians in IT sector?

Let’s see. The fastest available processor is now (March 2025) AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX.

The 7995WX is a massive workstation CPU that requires a large motherboard (sTR5 socket) and specialized TRX50/WRX90 chipsets. It won’t fit in a laptop or even most consumer desktop PCs.

Priced at $10,000+, it’s far too expensive for regular users. Most people don’t need 96 cores and 192 threads for daily tasks like gaming, web browsing, or office work.

Are there any real-life examples of prisoners who escaped from hospitals and were never caught?

It has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 350W, which is much higher than standard CPUs (Intel i9-14900KS = 125W). Requires a high-end PSU (power supply unit) and extreme cooling solutions like custom liquid cooling. Do you want this thing inside your smartphone?

So it’s not possible to use the fastest prcessor on ALL device.

Then, the manufacturers also need to reach larger market. Not all consumer would pay for the fastest device. Some can use device using lower speed processors.

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

A normal desktop or laptop CPU like the Intel i9-14900KS or AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is cheaper, more efficient, and better suited for everyday computing.
