Building a new Pc, I say building I have all the parts apart from a CPU.

I started saving a year ago and bought hardware as they came out or on sale.

So have X570 board, 3600mhz GSkill Neo, Coarsair MP600 1tb PCIE gen 4 Nvme, Radeon vii (That might have been a mistake now) 360 AIO, new case and power supply, just waiting for this 16 core monster. Waited long enough just need to be patient. I can't even get the 12 core anywhere at the moment.

why do people al;lways do a converson without adding vat as well lol the cpu wont bre much cheaper then 750 pounds i would 700 to 729.99 is the prtice tbh
 
I'm surprised so many people don't add VAT when converting to UK price. It's been said countless times across this forum and yet people still don't listen and take notice.

Equally only about 5 states in the USA dont have sales tax so there are states that will be paying above $750 at varying degrees
 
Starting to see them for pre order but says no guarantee that they will arrive on the 30th sept. Hopefully OCUK have their pre order up soon as it's only 3 weeks away

Threadripper is over a year old now, 3rd Gen Threadripper can't be too long away.

Are they still selling a lot of Threadripper CPU's id be surprised!

Why? Threadripper isn't just about core counts, it's the entire platform: quad-channel memory, ECC support guaranteed, 64 PCIe lanes and (traditionally) the best Ryzen dies. AM4 cannot do any of this. And even if you think purely in core counts, Ryzen 3 maxes at 16 cores, Threadripper starts at 16 cores. So clearly it won't affect Threadripper sales.

And you're also comparing new vs old tech so it's completely skewed. How would a 16 core, dual channel CPU with 16 PCIe 4 lanes possibly impact sales of a 64 core, 8 channel CPU with 128 PCIe 4 lanes?
