For those haven't seen, an interesting AMD video about Precision boost override.
The Nvidia vs AMD driver thing is probably due to how the two handle CPU overhead. Doesn't the AMD driver do draw calls in a single thread while the Nvidia one uses multiple?
NUMA + the latencies that it involves probably don't really bode well for Nvidia's implementation. Has any outlet tested with "Threaded Optimisation" turned off in the Nvidia control panel?

I ordered mine today... looking forward to a new fresh build and playing with this monster, especially now I'm doing the odd bit of video encoding 
Will probably stick with my main rig & pass this onto a friend of mine who's in need of something new and is going to be doing a lot of content creation work for me. Just looking forward to the play & funky simple build that'll still look nice, just without any OTT watercooling solution... first time I'll have installed an AIO in years haha...

If by that you're asking because we're in Q3... September is also Q3. If there was an August date mentioned somewhere then I dunno

2950x released today apparently, maybe @Gibbo will make an announcement?
I'm eager to see benchmarks.

I think it's supposed to be 31st August availability on the 2950X. The 2970 I think is later in Q3?If by that you're asking because we're in Q3... September is also Q3. If there was an August date mentioned somewhere then I dunno
Yeah official release date for 2950x is today. https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2nd-generation

Probably 12.00 EST or similar, by this evening anyway I expect.
Is it odd that there isn't a pre-order option? Or is it standard to just put up the listing at a specific time?

There's loads of benchmarks already available. Personally I'd recommend HardwareUnboxed on Youtube. Excellent coverage.

@Jareth yea sorry I meant by people on this forum, I don't trust pre-release reviews.
Oh OK.
Well, doesn't look like you have to wait much longer. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/77080

Good review from Hardware Unboxed on Boards for this CPU.
In short if overclocking go for the MSI Creation or Asus Zenith Extreme, Avoid the ASRock and Gigabyte.

Very nice, 2920X sounds like a nice option.
