I would like to see more tests, such as C4D, Terragen, Lightwave, Maya etc.
Sure, games are what most folk are used to so will get the reference more, but I would hope they'd also do something more processor intensive.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that people will play games on threadripper systems though, even though it might not be the primary use of the system.
I'm certainly going to be playing a few games on mine.
Would be rude not to, I might just play a game while running 10 vm's at the same time, just because.

Of course it's not unreasonable. And yes, there should be some gaming benchmarks. But some are leading with gaming benchmarks. For examples Pauls Hardware said that when the embargo lifts he is going to test X Y and Z games. And not a mention of any other testing. Now I am sure he will run cinebench and all that good stuff too. But to LEAD with games. Is just weird.

Asus probably have ROG branded bog roll ffs
If they do an RGB version, i'm in.
The majority of people purchasing TR will be gamers who will mostly be using the system for gaming (probably with other stuff like streaming or whatnot thrown in). This was the same for Intel's X79/X99/etc platforms too.

I totally disagree.
Most people on this forum who purchase TR will be gamers yes.
Most people globally who purchase TR will be professional users. Data folk. Mathematicians and major Excel users, Universities, physicists, professional model creators etc. They will far outweigh the gamers.

You will be really happy with that board. Its RGB LED Overload but without them on it looks really understated. And currently one of the cheapest as well.
