Why not just stick with the Naples name? Regardless of name, performance looks great.

probably tried and couldn't get the name so they ended up with epyc, the same happened with Zen that ended up ryzen and the same happened to microsoft scorpio that turned into " Xbox one X "

So for those looking at an EPYC / ThreadRipper for home, which chip you looking at and which motherboard?

I'm keeping my eye on a 10/12 core Threadripper, and either an Asus or Asrock board; going by their Ryzen launch performance compared to the rest.

The core count will be a big step up over my 5820K, and those Threadrippers will have higher base/boost clocks than the higher core ones. So will likely be the performance per € for me.

Ditto. I've a feeling 12 core will be a sweet price/perf spot. No idea on motherboard, not really abrand loyalist but I like the look of the X370 ASRock Taichi boards so will see what ASRock have to offer.

With Alienware also stating that they'll be overlocking all cores on their Threadripper systems, it'll be interesting to see how "easily" the CPU + Mobos can overclock; and what speed of memory can be support on launch day.

Do OEMs, usually overclock pre-built PCs?

Board idk yet. Ryzen 9 1950 for me.

Some do if they specialise in that segment. Alienware went on about with in their Q&A with Robert from AMD.

4:26 for overclocking

Presentations don't sell systems.
Fancy cases and lights do

Would you guys get EYPC from a Ryzen 7 but it's not really for home desktops is it
