16/32 threadripper scored 2866 in cinebench according to LTT

Actually it was 3062........................and at stock as well.

Holding its own against an Intel cpu costing over double


EDIT: Intel also has more cores / thread...

What I am intrigued to see is if we can put the 24 core one, on the X399 motherboards. And if we can overclock it also.

Fair enough, i was just going by this video. Skip to around 8:50

 

[SupraWez]

Watched that video earlier and in true Zen style they had to swap the memory out on the Alienware unit

Videocardz has leaked the supposed threadripper line up
Comprises of a 16C, 12C and an 8C. Seems to have a low and high clocked version of each core count. I think the 8C version is a good move.

8 core threadripper at the £500-600 price point is an instant buy for me assuming it still has all those lovely pcie lanes, or at least enough for sli/crossfire at 16 lanes each and two x4 lanes for storage.

Will be interesting to see how the 8 core Threadripper performs as it could use 2 cores per CCX.

Imho clock for clock with same Ram speed, (3200+) but on quad channel, I expect 8 core Threadripper to perform better.

Quad channel RAM is unlikely to give much benefit for most workloads. The real question is how the cores will be distributed and how that affects performance.

What the **** is the point of an 8core? Surely thats a normal Ryzen, admittedly with added PCIE channels but more expensive.

(ok different chipset / different number of pins as well)

12 and 16 obviously make sense, but I just cant work out why the 8 core makes any sense at all

Its for those who need a lot of PCIE lanes but not a lot of cores.

Judging by EPYC yes it will have 64 PCIE lanes

4 per CCX. I think it was confirmed that they can only be symmetrical.

I was referring to the 8 core Threadripper so it could have 2 cores in each CCX from each die.

Rule of symmetry still applies. 4 per CCX, and within each CCX, 2 on each cluster (of cores).

Are you saying the 8 core must have 2 per CCX per die? It could have one full CCX per die or 2 cores per CCX?

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for the 1950 non-x. Would probably be a smarter purchase but I'm impatient

I'm anticipating with overclocking this will be the better buy.

Sorry got confused between CCX and the full Ryzen die. Each die will have 4 cores active. 2 cores active on each CCX.

8 core version of TR will come with base clock of 3.8 and will cost 549 dolars. Imho great value

 

[DONOHUE07]

Looking forward to seeing some 8 core gaming benchmarks against the 1700/x and 1800x

Why is the 8/16 TR better than the 1700 ?
