AMD THREADRIPPER VS INTEL SKYLAKE X

[N19h7m4r3]

Not sure about PCPer as they've talked about putting in orders for kit before but some places will have a sponsor sending them kit to test which will often limit things a bit especially if they aren't flush for cash and depending on ad revenue and 3rd parties to keep things afloat. (Hint if you disable your ad blocker maybe they could afford to buy some 3200 RAM ).

Should stop buying Frontier Editions instead

Are they the one that put in two orders for FE cards? couldn't remember if it was them or Gamers Nexus.

PcPer ordered 3 FE cards.

Two air cooled, and one water cooled.

Glad i waited for thread ripper and didn't jump on the x299

Was talking about the air cooled cards. Didn't realise any of them had additionally ordered a water cooled variant - I mostly followed GN on that aspect who modded one of their air cooled cards to hybrid.

Yeah. PcPer got two Air cooled one, and then the Watercooled one. They send the photos of the AIO one to GN so they could do that AIO cooler breakdown video.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X & 1920X: Specs, Pricing & My Thoughts!

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Looks like the 7800x is a odd duck, and really should be avoided at all costs. Want a 6 core? Get the R5 1600

Closing remarks are funny

Very Nice ,Hail to the Cooler AMD @ half the Price.

[humbug]

So 8 more threads and $1700 more money on the Intel side nets you 4% more performance than AMD's Threadripper....

Intel are a joke.

Wow. But this is just 4 desktop CPU's glued together....

 

[humbug]

Wow. But this is just 4 desktop CPU's glued together....

But but but........ Intel will react to Threadripper with their already paper launched 18 core Skylake-X!
Thats 2 cores less than this chip already struggling to beat Threadripper, high clock rates? when your 10 core is already pulling 230 Watts and frying motherboard VRMs?

Not even AMD's old and rightfully ridiculed FX-9590 used that much power.

Intel Nope.,

Two desktop ones glued together, since it's against threadripper

Ahh FX-9590 poor sod, you lost the crown of ridiculousness, Intel stole it from you......

Which makes AMD as the high moral ground choice also.
But nothing new. This is going since my first CPU. The AMD 386DX40

Snap, same first CPU.
I must say i'm absolutely shocked at that video from AdoredTV. I 100% agree that the only way Intel got away with that is the legal system just doesn't work, and no doubt corruption is rife.
I can't say buying Intel again would sit right with me knowing what I know now. And people thought the VW emissions scandal was bad. Jeez.
