AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X CPU Review @ [H]

Circuit breaker ratings is a 100% design rating, other factors such as heat build up can lower that rating. So yes I can carry the rated load unless heat builds up to point that it lowers the setpoint. I deal with this at where I work, where circuit breakers can trip below rated load and at other times will carry its rated capacity even slightly higher for hours if not all day due to temperature differences. Since I am no where near the rated capacity of the system configuration I am not too worried about that, at least yet. The .8 factor is just a common accepted design margin to size the circuit to allow for other factors, does not mean the circuit cannot handle the full rated load.

The .8 "factor" is NEC in regards to continuous duty.

I deal with this at work as well, being an industrial maintenance electrician.

Do we even know if Blender has been recompiled for Windows to account for 32+ core availability? Blender has been a *nix-first program for quite some time. 32+ core workstations aren't exactly rare but until now they haven't been a commodity item.

The Cycles render engine supports as many threads as your system has and can render on multiple GPUs via CUDA/OpenCL. An experimental option allows for both CPU/GPU to be used. You can also do things with Dr Queue or other external dispatchers to make use of a render-farm.

I'm planning to buy a Threadripper 2950X with an Asus X399 Zenith Extreme motherboard before christmas

Buying hardware in the time period between Black Friday and Computex is a bad idea anyway. Either get a good X399 deal for BF so you will not be sad about the lack of PCIe 4.0, or wait until after Computex to see if those speculations turn out true.
