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.
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.

Probably not entirely accurate, but you can assume it does make it considerably faster
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.
Maybe to get more time out of TR2?
Yeah good thinking, could be.
