Can you explain to me how you expect it to be any better with current pound strength?

You are aware the live rate of GBP vs USD is 1.30, as such most banks give around 1.26-1.29 varies depending on bank, but lets just say 1.29.

$999 / 1.29 = £775

So yes we do get it cheaper!

But of course it seems like every forum member here forgets about the UK tax, so add 20% back and your at £930, before any shipping, margins are added on. So yeah due to the weak pound whatever a product cost in USD it typically cost the same or more in GBP.

I'm not expecting it to be any cheaper, that was my point.
 
Wasn't Ryzen 6pm UK time? 12 midday EST, or it may even be 2pm EST which would be 8pm BST.

Unfortunately these processors are so angry and so ready for a fight, we've had to send them to rehab for some calming down before customers can get a chance to get their hands on them. ;)


*Or maybe the internets were just wrong on when the product would be available! :)

Seems daft if you've got stock, and AMD are officially hyping and mentioning threadripper. But that's just classic AMD, can't execute.

NDA's must be followed to the letter! Not AMD's fault if the internet rumours are incorrect.

I don't disagree, but when AMD start saying

Behold – the first look at Threadripper packaging. Who else is counting down the minutes until they can get their hands on this CPU?

You're going to think it's imminent, otherwise they'd have said days.
 
Soz but AMD has pulled an ace here...... How nicely it scales!!!! (the Epyc runs with 2400Mhz ram, so with 3200 it will perform more than x2 the 1950x)

 
NDAs are an utter nightmare. It annoys me when other companies clearly break them by advertising, leaking info or the like. Rarely will a big company get their asses kicked by the manufacturer.
