Next gen Threadripper can't be too far away,
How's that?I doubt we'll see next gen TR until spring 2020.
How's that?
so from what i'm learnbing is wait for computex and see where it all leads. but at what point do i draw a line and do it, it feels like there will always be an upgrade just round thecorner.
Everyone is expecting the announcement at Computex.so when does zen2 appear?
Not really.the new 3900x looks like a direct hit on tr2920
Not really.
Beyond having the same core count, they are completely different platforms. That being said, the lines between a top end Ryzen 3000 system and entry-level Threadripper 2000 system are a little blurred now.
What exactly is your workload, as in specifically how high-level is your video rendering? You might be better off going 3900X rather than Threadripper now.
Are X570 and X399 really that different? High core count CPUs, plenty of PCI-E lanes. They seem very similar. So much so that I cant really see Threadripper being very relevant once 16c32t Zen 2 is available.
Right here, right now, there is a blurring of the lines between new Ryzen and old Threadripper. You can do both with 12 cores, and the Ryzen cores will be a good chunk better. But Threadripper has quad channel RAM for those that make use of it, and still has a boat load more PCIe lanes coming off the CPU for proper multi GPU setups. And also bear in mind Threadripper starts at 12 cores and goes up to 32.Are X570 and X399 really that different? High core count CPUs, plenty of PCI-E lanes. They seem very similar.

A 3900X will outclass both the 2920X and 2950X in terms of compute power. Quad channel DDR4 is still on Threadrippers side but with higher memory speeds on X570 it may not be much differentiating them. Threadripper may allow higher core counts but that's going to be pretty niche, even more so the original Threadripper.
