I can't see a threadripper with 4 times the core count of a 2700x costing any less than 4 times the cost of a 2700x.

I think £1199 is the minimum we'll see.
 
I've had no problems gaming on mine. I wouldn't say the clock speed is letting it down at all - I see XFR boosts to 4.2ghz all the time when gaming.

I thought you went with the 2990WX for some reason or am I thinking of someone else...or did you get one of each ? :)

Cancelled the 2990wx - windows isn't in a fit state a take advantage of it. Might reconsider if I switch to Linux full time but I need to wean myself off Adobe suite first.

How you finding it for performance? Have you been using in a gaming scenario at all?

Great for performance, nice to leave pbo on and see a 6% to 15% uplift in perf over my 1950x. Compilation speed boost in VS and Blender render speed is especially appreciated.

I've done some gaming on it, it's fine, inc vr. Games played so far are rocket league, planetside 2, pcars 2, elite dangerous and tw:britannia.

Just installed my 2950X a short while ago....just wondering whats the highest single core boost you have seen and what you measured the boost on ?

edit: and the all core speed...
Click to expand...
4.4ghz single core boost and between 4ghz and 4.15ghz all core boost (depends on workload). I use HWInfo.

Yet to see it boost above 4GHz in single tasked process....weird.

Anything to check in bios I may have missed ?

So what is HWInfo showing as max on any core? Screenshot?

Updated to f10 bios I assume?

EDIT:-

I see you've posted on the GB X399 forums that you have updated to F10.

Thanks but I'm after news on an 8 core TR2 of which there is no sign as far as I can find. Hopefully AMD are holding it back until the first gen are sold out.

1900x didn't sell very well so I wouldn't hold your breath

1900x is still pretty strong having an all core of 3.9Ghz and it is pretty cheap now.

As the 1900x was the fastest clocked Ryzen 1 I am interested to see if a 2900x drops but might go for the 12 core, 2920x if boosting etc works well.

2950x has a higher single core boost than a 2920x and the same all core boost. The price diff isn't that much. 2950x really is the pick of the ThreadRipper platform atm, esp when you factor in PBO netting all core boosts of 4.1ghz.
 
I'm just about to post a big list of comparison benchmarks between my 1950x and 2950x - same system, same windows install, same F10 bios.

Both 1950x and 2950x are boosting as expected (4.2ghz on 1950x and 4.4ghz on 2950x).
