GIGABYTE today teased its flagship socket TR4 motherboard for AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors, the Aorus X399 Gaming 7. This board has been extensively showcased by the company, and was part of three socket TR4 motherboards which were put up at AMD's Computex 2017 event booth. The board is being formally unveiled later today, at the "Meet the Experts" event being hosted by AMD in Los Angeles. The board packs an exhaustive feature-set, including eight DDR4 DIMM slots, five PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots, three M.2 slots, the company's highest-grade onboard audio solution, and an RGB LED lighting system driven by GIGABYTE RGB Fusion software.

... and the best CPU you can put in it draws 180W at stock, and runs @ 2 GHz, and costs mega bucks, too. Sounds oh so inviting...

This is a Threadripper motherboard.

Edit: As far as I can tell, all threadripper CPUs have a base clock of at least 3Ghz given what we know so far. Maybe you know something we don't?

Uh, I know that. But with cores running @ 2 GHz, isn't the 32-core CPU going to perform EXACTLY like a 16-core one @ 4 GHz? Oh, I forgot, ALL threadripper CPUs, from 8-core to 32-core, run @ 2.0 or 2.1 GHz, so a Ryzen 1800X should give roughly the same performance as the 16-core CPUs, and the 8-core threadripper will perform like, oh, I dunno, a quad-core Ryzen?


Oh wait... I see my mistake now. ROFL, I'm an ass. It's epyc that has the 2 ghz chips... THAT is the screwy platform.

Maybe you could explain to me what tells you that these CPUs have a base clock of 2Ghz? Everything I've read seems to indicate that the lowest base clock we'll see is 3Ghz, not 2.

Uh, AMD's website has all the spec's for Epyc on their site, and THEY say this. Perhaps you didn't see my edit.

No, I didn't. I posted the reply before I saw the edit. I would expect any CPU with more cores and twice as much memory controller to have lower clocks and higher consumption but then again, this isn't an Epyc board. :P
