Do you work in this environment? I do and I know plenty of other organisations are looking at threadripper too.

Too much time spent chucking logs around in the garden as a child and not enough in the classroom.

No need to know. Makes not one difference.
What I do know is that you guys have no clue is how these CPU's and the platforms actually perform. Which is the point of this thread!!! and yet you continue to argue without any results to hand.

Why are you all giving the guy it tight here? He's not working for MoneySavingExpert so who gives a toss about bang for buck? He's reporting performance, and it's up to the buyer whether it's worth the cost.

And as potential buyers, many here are saying it's not worth the cost. Simples.
so you would happily rely on an immature platform with serious instability issues, possibilities of motherboards bricking themselves etc for critical workflow?
sounds like the organisations you know won't be in business very long...
Soldato
The boards bricking was early on and was fixed. Name this serious instability you speak of?
Given as you know so much about these workplaces I'm sure you will understand that breakdowns happen each and every single day.
You should see the failure rate and software corruption of our main xeon powered SAP server.
We have had atom powered HMI displays actually catch fire
This organisation has been around long before you and I and will be around after you and I pass.

No need to. Makes not one difference to me.

8pack if you just admit that Intel overcharge for their cores in comparison to AMD maybe this will sound less like an Intel sponsorship sub forum 
Even the potential of 5GHz on 20 threads is impressive, but price is important to 99.9999999999% of people. How will Intel's performance stack up considering they are offering much less cores per pound compared to AMD? Will their 10 core out perform AMD's 16 core CPU's as that will be the reality. CPU's are compared at a certain price range not on number of cores.

I don't understand all the "hate" in threads lately either, as others have mentioned.
I don't think for one second that any of the large organizations you mention would run any computer in an overclocked state. The instability and bricking has all been down to overclocking, not the base products themselves.

New tool then?
What arguing over performance have I been doing exactly?
Also, understanding the difference between different words is pretty important. What a bizarre thing to say.
cold boot issues are a big thing, I had an asus crosshair brick itself two days ago when trying some new gskill 3200mhz ram (on the newest aegsa 1.0.0.6 bios) and I've seen plenty of other reports of similar issues on other forums still have these occurrences.
hence why not a single streamer/YouTuber will use the ryzen platform as their main workflow machine.
Soldato
Cold boots lol. These systems are on 24/7. The only issue ryzen now has is when overclocking is involved. Something which we will not be doing.
Yes, lets all look at youtubers and streamers for stability performance......
Most organisations Should be using Xeons. But any case, It is bit silly, That a "stable" Overclock sold by a Shop is not really a Stable Overclock. if it can run Any application without Crashing.
This the reason i Don't Overclock. I want pure stability.
my X99 for first 3 months was not stable. a Fan curve change bricked my BIOS overclockers had to replace it!
every platform takes time. including x299

Looking forward to a delidded Skylake-X [email protected]+ @8 Pack Bundle with some sweet sweet Ram 
Dayyyyyyyym that would be so sooooooo good

yeah that's an article editing machine.Your information is flawed
now go look at jayztwocents, linus, tech of tomorrow. all of them have ryzen machines whoch they will not use as their daily machines due to all the issues they have with the platform
Soldato
The fact that you are even bringing up youtube and streamers as a way of measuring stability is enough for me to now ignore you. Come back to me when you have some real world figures.
Jay recently said that he's trying Ryzen again after all the stability improvements that have come out, so...
