***** HAIL THE KING: AMD GEN3 THREAD RIPPER!!! *****

[Gibbo]

Hi there


I generally hear 8 Pack getting excited over Intel CPU's for his special projects, it is rarely AMD because for what Ian does generally frequency speed is very important as is memory performance.

However over the past couple of weeks this has changed, 8 Pack has being talking very highly of AMD's new Thread Ripper CPU's.

So 8 Pack has been playing with the 3960X processors and has reported back to me the following:

- 4.50GHz single boost as advertised, this is important because Ryzen 3 rarely hits it single core boost underload, whereas Thread Ripper does so underload, sometimes even more than one core.
- 4.3GHz all core over clock, which for a 24/48 processor is rather amazing, its a solid 500MHz above what the last generation thread ripper could achieve.
- 256Gb RAM at 3200MHz stable using the Corsair 64Gb dual channel Vengeance Pro RGB kits.
- 128Gb RAM at 3600MHz stable using the 8 Pack 64Gb quad channel Samsung B-Die kits.


We are excited to test the 3970X in the coming weeks as it is no doubt better binned so should be able to achieve higher boost and higher all core clock potentially, particular impressive for a 32/64 part.

Remember these are aimed at HEDT market, but due to the much improved frequency boost and overclocking results along with improved IPC and memory frequency they of course game exceptionally well too.

If you want to essentially build the most powerful machine you can for a desktop / workstation then the above pretty much accomplishes that.

@Gibbo any indication when the Gskil 3800C14 will hit the stores? Is announced 4 months now.

We won't be doing it I am afraid, we are pretty much phasing all G.Skill out, they supply is just terrible and we can't work with a supplier who cannot fulfill our orders, it is a shame as some of their SKU's are fantastic but apart from Royal we really see no USP offered by them.

 

[Gibbo]

That's a real shame as imo it's some of the nicest memory on the market. I'd genuinely go looking for it above pretty much anything else certainly over the skus listed.

I'm not entirely sure why either.

Quality of G.Skill can it be denied on their high-end Trident and Royal stuff only memory we sell on par IC and quality heatspreader wise is 8 Pack stuff and Corsair Dominator is very good quality too but IC can be unknown on CORSAIR.

 

[Gibbo]

@Gibbo how much 3960x stock are you expecting? I'm hoping the waiting list isn't 3950x crazy.

More than enough on 3960X and 3970X to cover all the back orders and leave plenty spare for fresh orders.

 

[Gibbo]

Woot - they agreed!

Just need to find some memory for it now. 64gb should be enough.

@Gibbo They are all dual channel though - need quad for Threadripper

Yes you just throw a pair of kits together and you have quad, it works perfectly fine. This can be done for any dual kit.

I've requested Corsair make some quad 128G kits and bring some 64G quad kits back but right now people are just buying a pair of dual kits.

 

[Gibbo]

Just watched the HardwareUnboxed review. Seems like even in gaming, using modern demanding games, these are even faster than the 9900K!

Gibbo was correct (he got a bit of flak for that comment before release I remember). Amazing CPUs.

Thank you!
Amazing they indeed but as are all the Ryzen 3 chips.

 

[Gibbo]

Waiting on my 3960X.

Stock is due tomorrow on both 3960X and 3970X
