AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X Overclocked to 4.1 GHz With Liquid Cooling
Redditor "callingthewolf" has posted what is an awe-inspiring result for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 1950X (that's an interesting username for sure; let's hope that's the only similarity to the boy who cried wolf.) The 16-core, 32-thread processor stands as the likely taker for the HEDT performance crown (at least until Intel's 14-core plus HEDT CPUs make their debut on the X299 platform.) With that many cores, highly thread-aware applications naturally look to see tremendous increases in performance from any frequency increase. In this case, the 1950X's base 3.4 GHz were upped to a whopping 4.0 GHz (@ 1.25 V core) and 4.1 GHz (at 1.4 V core; personally, I'd stick with the 4.0 GHz and call it a day.)
The feat was achieved under a Thermaltake Water 3.0 liquid cooler, on a non-specified ASRock motherboard with all DIMM channels populated with 8 x 8 GB 3066 MHz DIMMs. At 4.0 GHz, the Threadripper 1950X achieves a 3337 points score on Cinebench R15. And at 4.1GHz, the big chip that can (we can't really call it small now can we?) manages to score 58391 points in Geekbench 3. While those scores are certainly impressive, I would just like to point out the fact that this is a 16-core CPU that overclocks as well as (and in some cases, even better than) AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 CPUs. The frequency potential of this Threadripper part is in the same ballpark of AMD's 8-core dies, which speaks to either an architecture limit or a manufacturing one at around 4 GHz. The Threadripper 1950X is, by all measurements, an impressively "glued together" piece of silicon.

As of now , MSRP is the only viable comparison and 7900X goes against 1950X in price.
You don't need to look too far with the mining outburst fail worldwide, which is increasing the prices of many VGAs and PSUs to astronomical values. They're not following MSRP, they're following the market. And when the TR will prove as a wrothy comptetitor, the price tag won't stay by 999, but will rise up 20, 40, maybe even 60%.
7900X goes against 1950X at official 999$ MSRP , fact. Doesn't matter what pricing you get in your location. That's what these manufacturers are intending to price them at.
Again your place is simply irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
At this point you don't even know what you are arguing about anymore. It's confirmed that you're a troll. Now that should be enough for everyone to prevent them from giving you anymore attention.

If you have found a deal for Intel one time, doesn't mean AMD doesn't have any deals lol. It actually does way more deals and price reductions from my own experience.

If both were staring me in the face though, I'd use the Intel CPU. I really don't use the threads can benefit from faster clocks and ever so slightly better IPC. In fact, you can see I run with 10c/10t to save on thermals and raise the clocks. ;)
If I had to spend the money myself, I wouldn't own the thing. I'd have a 7700K/Z270 or maybe a 7740K on X299. Again, I prefer 5Ghz with more IPC and willing to pay the price premium. I built my son a 1500X/X370/R9 270x rig... :)
Games are just a part of the whole ecosystem. If I buy a threadripper it will be for more than "just games". Judging only games is stupid.
You could, but why would I intentionally limit my 1080ti by pairing it with bulldozer? I mean sure, whats the difference between 100 and 120 fps, but, id like to not put a glass ceiling on my gpu.. even Sandybridge would drive the 1080ti better than BD.
We've seen in several titles Ryzen is behind a bit. Get fast memory and that difference mostly disolves.
