I wish board manufacturers would use SFP+ slots for 10GbE rather than RJ45. RJ45 ports are expensive, at least let me use a DAC or a fibre SFP+, given that those are way cheaper. This forces me to spend £85 or so on an RJ45 SFP+ module and fuss around with horrible thick cables, at least if it was SFP+ on the board you'd only have to pay that extra cost if you want it.

Good idea to have the threadrippers at 24/32/48/64 core variants!

$3000 isnt even that expensive considering what you're getting - especially compared with the intel counterparts

Looking at the Phoronix review, these seem to be absolute monsters.

I have a linux/build use case, so I've pre-ordered a 3970X.

Also, it doesn't seem to suffer the gaming related problems that the 2990WX had, so fun can still be had ;)

Aye, I work for a design company. The idea of being able to use 64 core workstations is awesome, frankly.

For sure, I was pretty shocked when I discovered that the CGI for the new terminator film was done using threadripper chips

i've helped a few people in companies looking to expand their geomapping and intel was king up until now !

come step 3 when its all about Storage, NVMe 4.0 with full controller speeds next year will be impressive !!!!!!!!

This is humiliating for intel.

HEDT there is nowhere to go apart from threadripper. Its so far ahead of Intel its not even funny

It's really good to see amd putting the boot into intel, so many people wrote amd off after bulldozer and its derivatives, even the motherboard manufacturers with ryzen seemed iffy about it and started scrambling when they realised it was a good cpu. A resurgence on the gpu front is now all we need.

I'd like to see more than just 1080p gaming benchmarks.

Why? the higher up the resolution you go the less the CPU does and the more the GPU takes on??? thats why people test at lower resolution to get a picture of what performance the CPU is doing....

Higher Res you go the more the GPU does the work.
