Hey guys,

Just saw a vid from Linus regarding the EYPC Rome 64 core and holy crap I want one, when are they released here or are they already released? Don't care how much they cost they are ace I want one haha.

You can buy them now so why not crack on? I've got 3 of the 32 core 64 thread rome cpus. A server with dual socket filled with memory should give some change from 20/25k depending on config. There is a rome thread on this first page.
 
One thing I've noticed is that there don't seem to be any Epyc workstation boards that support PCIe v4, so the OP may be better advised to get the Threadripper variant which is out next month with ths same 64 cores but on a workstation / enthusiast single-processor PCIe v4 motherboard. (Threadripper is the workstation version of Epyc.)

Wanted one of the 64 core Rome cpu's mate, will wait for them to be on ocuk and see how much they actually are and see the full lineup.

you will be lucky if you see them sold cpu only on ocuk any time soon although you can pre order your 7742, they are a server CPU and allocation will favour the big OEM and system integrators before oem sales, also the prices im seeing on 7742 are a fair bit more inflated than what I was quoted. As I say you can see the full lineup and buy them now. They were officially available to order on the 28th September.
 
Cheers for the advice guys, I am gonna wait until I see them on here, not sure what sites I would buy them from outside of the 2 I use which I clearly won't mention the names of because I do not want a ban.

Good luck dude and I hope you have deep pockets :) a build around 7742 and fully populated quad channel and appropriate storage probably wont see much change from 10k or more and unless you run a vm farm or have a very particular use case you will never make use of all the performance available and will also be compromised by clocks in things like gaming workloads. Unless you need the capabilities that the chip delivers from a datacenter perspective you would be far better off waiting for a TR variant, Historically TR has had the top 5% silicon so you get the best of both worlds, higher clocks than EPYC while maintaining the core count, but giving up a very small amount in terms of total memory throughput. You see this is the reason I run TR in my workstation/gaming machine and EPYC in my servers. TR is a better prospect than rome for a "do anything" workstation, don't get me wrong rome is totally awesome but poor value for money compared to a workstation class TR chip.

No confirmation if the latest threadripper is even coming with 64 cores, I would assume AMD won't do that as it will cannibalize the sales of the Epyc chips, so I can see them doing 48 cores instead

I might get 2 of these 64 core beasts.

Should only set you back 25k+ for the server. Even then it might be delivered with a bios that needs updating. Which has been exactly my job today.



Naples sporting blue and rome sporting green. :cool: Naples was lent to me as almost a "boot kit" type affair.
