PCGamesN also saying Threadripper preorders tomorrow, although their source is also a little second-hand

Nice, hopefully we'll see some more concrete information, 10 hours to go according to that countdown

 

[FlyingScotsman]

@FlyingScotsman Upgrade time?

Yeah Garry, its time, but only if this ThreadRipper does this business!!!
What about you dude?

In the middle of a house move and the wife has allocated me the downstairs study for a cave. Obviously, the cave budget will stretch to toys so I might just go for it... although I think the money might be better spent on a 4K screen for controller based gaming and films.

I'm no sure what Threadripper will offer over my 6700k for gaming, but I suppose I'll find out in a few hours, mate.

Threadripper is simply incredible if you use the applications that make use of its cores, it is insanely fast and offers the performance of Intel chips costing more than double.

However I will say this if you gaming and doing video streaming, value for money wise the R5 1600 is really the CPU to beat, it is bloody fantastic. R5 1600 OC'd, 3200MHz DDR4 is a killer setup and in relative terms does not cost a fortune and is a great all rounder for gamer and semi-pro video/photographer manipulator/editor.

In Fallout 4 you find a nuclear rocket engine on a flatbed truck.

In all fairness on the CPU side AMD are absolutely owning it at the moment, great to have them back, they have done an amazing job on coming back from nowhere on CPU and hitting that competition with a sledgehammer.

 

[~>Dg<~]

they have tbh done very well.

What CPU makes the most sense at the minute? for someone who only uses their PC for gaming and doesn't stream/edit vids/multi tab etc..
