Four dies confirmed
Bring on the 32 core / 64 thread chips!

Lol - Intel are ******!
Actually I am not surprised even if they are 4 good dies under there.
There was someone months ago, stating that the Threadripper has BOM cost something like $120 to make.
(Bill of Materials).
And lets not forget the 24c EPYC is around $1100 using fully all 4 dies and AMD still makes profit.

Never thought I'd see the day this processing power would be in the hands of a home user. Imagine a 32 core APU with 5-10Tflops of graphics processing power. I could replace every system I use with a single machine.
Thanks, been trying to get better photos during the install this time.
The ram is team group dark pro 8 pack 3200C14. System is still under construction at present so I've got to wait a bit longer yet to be able to test it. Water coolings biggest disadvantage is how long it takes to drain, fiddle, reconnect, refill, leak test and bleed. I'm hoping to get it up and running this evening.

Awesome piccy there Kei, I bet you can't wait to get cracking!

Just completed my TR build, so impressed with the performance so far, it's comparible to 4-way servers of just a couple of years ago, and probably most current 2-way boxes in terms of raw CPU and IO, extremely pleased with the amount of bang for my money on this build.
I was initially looking at a 1920X as didn't want to lower the core or thread count from my current system. Ended up choosing the 1950x as it didnt really add that much on the cost when spending nearly 2k, managed to find a bargain with the RAM at £355 as well!
I've kept my old PSU (Rm1000x) and case (Tt core v51), spec is now:
-Threadripper 1950X with Noctua nh-n14s
-Asus Prime X399-A
-64GB (8x8GB) Corsair LPX 2800 c14
-GTX 970
-250 Sammy 960 Evo M.2
-250 Sammy 959 Pro Sata
-Intel Pro Dual port NIC
Coming from the system below that I built from some scavenged server parts, I had to add quite a few bits to it over the years (Sata3/Usb3) to keep it reasonably usable as desktop, and I think the limits of PCIE 2.0, and lack of USB 3.1, M2 were starting to bug me, the lack of a full bandwidth x16 slot was also a pain.
- Dual Xeon x5660's (2.8/3.2 6c12t)
- Supermicro X8DTN-F
- 144 GB ECC 10600R
- GTX 970
- Samsung Pro SSD (250) Sata
- USB 3 card
- SATA 3 controller
New system goes though synthetic benchmarks at about 2-4 times the speed of the old system, real world performance for my workloads has easily doubled, and NVME somewhat makes up for less memory. Would have preferred to get 4x16GB when I did the build to allow me to upgrade to 128, but it was pretty much twice the price of 8x8GB for me, I quite like the dual Corsair airflow memory fans too!
Overall very impressed, same performance with Xeon would cost a fortune, though it would allow a much larger maximum memory size.

Bought this too, spent hours trying to get it to work at proper speed and to give me 32gb, to discover 2 sticks are duff, with duff sticks removed runs rated speed no bother.
They are indeed.
Had a few blue screens (memory management) and the dpc latency is poor to horrific. Not sure that the 8 pack ram in mine is stable at xmp. Might just need an SOC voltage bump.
Looks like I need to spend some time at bone stock on both ram and cpu and see if all is good there then work my way up. Booted up into windows ok and ran cinebench fine with all 12 cores at 4GHz with 1.25V but the terrible latency suggests that it won't be stable at that.
EDIT: Problem was actually my avoiding having to reinstall windows.
