AMD THREADRIPPER VS INTEL SKYLAKE X

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.
This is logically fallacious. Just because someone is a "YouTuber" it doesn't preclude them for having a grasp of what they're talking about.

the point is people that rely on video editing and stability as their income and job won't rely on ryzen alone.

i, and pretty much everyone I know (that isn't a rabid amd fanboy) have had hosts of issues with the ryzen platform, it's a very immature platform that still needs a good 6+ months of work to get stable.
 
I was talking about 24/7 use in the field with CAD and he chimes in with well x youtuber isn't using it so its no good. A stupid reply imo.
Just searching for ryzen workstation in youtube proves he is also wrong.
I'm not saying he's right. I'm just pointing out that some of your responses weren't logical.

Maybe so, I've also had other encounters in other threads with him spouting allsorts. I'd rather not see it so ignore list it is:)
No arguing from me, I am genuinely interested in these chips, temps and power consumption as well as price will have a big influence over the decision to buy 100+ of these.

Why not just literally ignore him instead of using the ignire list feature?
 
to be fair I don't think any business with hundreds or thousands of workstations would consider ryzen or threadripper due to the instabilty, cold boot, ram incompatibility, boards bricking themselves etc. that's why all the big youtubers have said they won't rely on their ryzen machines because of how buggy they are at the minute.

My uni has a full suite of Ryzen machines (40+) used for coding, compiling, rendering, graphics and video production.

There have been no reports of any of the issues you mention (expected as they are all factory default setups and not OC'd). They are seriously considering adding threadripper stations to the suite.

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.

So you tried overclocking and had an issue?

Case closed.
 
How many people reporting issues are running a stock clocks?

so I guess the thing to learn with ryzen is you can't overclock and get stability? sounds worse than Intel saying to reduce overclocks to reduce temps on 7700ks....

kinda pointless having unlocked sku's and not being able to overclock on ryzen, no?

anyway, I'm just super excited for skylake x, means I can play arma 3 with fastest single core performance AND do multi threaded workloads! finally the best performance of 8 cores without sacrificing single core performance, glad Intel managed to bring this to market.

can't wait for coffeelake, should be a 5ghz+ 6 core mainstream chip, got a few friends waiting on builds so I can use these hopefully.
 
Zen is using the Samsung Zeppelin design process (Samsung 14nm LPP), which is designed for mobile devices with power efficiency in mind.
A good technical article here. Samsung Zeppelin+ which is used on Zen 2/Zen+ (same thing), is designed for +400Mhz higher speeds at same power envelop.

You seem to have a few things confused - Zeppelin is the core codename no? the CPUs are produced at Globalfoundries using Samsung's 14nm process but all reports indicate it is producing worse results than the same process at Samsung. The original run of Ryzen reportedly was done on an implementation that more or less resembled LPE but GF has since revised their production with a plus variant but reports on it still aren't great.
