Threadripper 3 confirmed

I could certainly benefit from 32 maybe even 64 cores.

Yet you said you would look at intel......
uh-huh. good luck with that

No, I said I would look at what Intel do next.

I'll sit out this TR round and see where we are in a year.

makes more sense that way.

Now all I need to do is not forget to try and buy the 3950X on the 25th... it’s been that long I fear I might

I think I might try and do it you know, If what i'm hearing about potential board pricing of a "taichi" like board is right it might actually not be bad, i'm actually thinking that for the performance on offer that the 3960x might make it worth it for me. Early days but we shall see. I'm still working on @Illuminist to hook me up

its all down to the use case really, for the vast majority of people even 12 or 16 cores is overkill for what they use it for.

Whilst I think in 2019, 8 cores with 8/16gb ram should be the standard - 12/16 cores is still more than what most people will need to use.

Then coming into threadripper talk, the extra cores are only for specialist needs

Because Threadripper is a specialist platform, regardless of how many "Strix" and "Gaming" variations are produced.

Huh, "something took 5 minutes before, with TR3 takes 5 seconds".

Probably not entirely accurate, but you can assume it does make it considerably faster

I wonder if these were early engineering samples?

Something like that, tho i don't see why they can't just release them any time, they are just 4 Zen 2 dies, unless the IO die has some HSA hardware acceleration in it.

here it is...

Maybe to get more time out of TR2?

Yeah good thinking, could be.
