More interested in the 8700k Intel was a massive letdown with that stream yesterday.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Wrong on so many levels.

 

[Jumper118]

i9 7980xe for the best csgo fps and skype at the same time. such muti much task

 

[8 Pack]

Oh yeah macho silicon. Not for the weak!! Only the strong survive....

 

[gary996]

If i was buying now it would be Threadripper end of

 

[AiiR]

For the price of the Core i9-7960X I could get a Threadripper 1950x, Motherboard and 16GB of 3200mhz RAM and still have change for a weekly food shop and some beers.

 

[GoogalyMoogaly]

Does the i9 7980Xe outperform the 1950X?

 

[Hotwired]

Those base clocks tho.

 

[MGP]

I can see a few of the OcUK Distributed Computing nutters eyeing up some of these

Hey Gibbo - links are dead for me - takes you to front page, can you check please.

Why not indeed Serious pennies though, but of course huge performance too.

[Destination]

Will any of these beat a threadripper?

I think that the prices are yet to be confirmed. Are you tempted for a change?

 

[Hotwired]

Will any of these beat a threadripper?

Yes.

 

[Destination]

Yes.

Which , in what configuration with which mobo and ram?
How much will it beat a threadripper by?

 

[MooMoo444]

Intel with the 2% gains again?

 

[Hambut_Bulge]

Great. Ideal for the "just won the lottery, got more money than sense" build I'm likely to never do!

 

[Goody_GTI]

How do they compare to Threadripper in performance?

Bearing in mind the 1950x is £998 and the i9-7960x is £1589...

 

[Hotwired]

Got nothing more than a casual affirmative here. After all wouldn't you be surprised if it didn't beat TR at something?

Besides there are variations in comparisons. Popular ones seem to be equal cores and equal pricing.

I'm interested to see how that low base clock works out personally. TR is after all a couple of ryzens glued together and it didn't lose clockspeed.
