AMD Trims Prices of Current-gen Ryzen Processors
AMD on Monday, announced price-cuts across a bulk of its Ryzen 3-series, Ryzen 5-series, Ryzen 7-series, and Ryzen Threadripper processor models, based on first-generation "Zen" architecture, probably in preparation of its possible-April 19 launch of its 2nd generation Ryzen "Pinnacle Ridge" processors. The decision to trim prices of Threadripper SKUs indicates that AMD is either stepping up the heat on Intel's Core X family, or that one can expect a brisk roll-out of 12 nm "Pinnacle Ridge" silicon-based 2nd Generation Threadripper SKUs, even if not on April 19. The latest roadmaps put 2nd Gen Threadripper launch to the second half of 2018.

A small microbial genome can be sequnced at 90X coverage in 2hrs and assembled in 15 mins. Human genome, which are about 1000 times larger than bacteria genome can take up to 6hrs to get good (>30X coverage) Assembly usually takes 2 hours due to the complexity.
This is huge advancement compared to traditional Illumina based sequencing and assembly. The old way usually take one to two weeks and you usually only get partial genome. And that assembly MUST be done on HPC clusters.
look again, btw i bought 1800x £499 now you can take it for £290
but keep says to every one price's not going down :-)
1600x now only £189
I am not going to pay a single pound for a ryzen, even if he has a million cores. never going to buy a processor that betrays the user's security with "security processors" and "management engines". im not buying until there are new ground rules.
they also put "security processor" back door into vega video cards.
and yes intel do the same thing, I am not buying neither, I prefer phenom 2 with coreboot flashed it is a secure system
because of PRISM law you allowed in America the whole world now sufferif that what it takes to secure computing, yes. the K6000 or something, never tried a VIA chip before but now that am awear of the problem I seriously considering to build future systems with VIA, but for now there is supply of phenom 2 mobos and CPUs which are probably better than K6000, hopefully by the time the phenom 2 systems run out VIA (or something) can be more performant/more cores/more cheap.
and just to explain myself: I am not a freak of security, just like most people aren't, my reply looks like I am so I wanted to explain: it's a principle
and just before you say it help PRISM to stop criminals: it won't: look at the recent criminal activities: they stole millions or billions of $ in bitcoint from corporations by encrypting their data - wouldn't you think that the security processor should have reported the development of this malware/attack/cybervirus ? but it didn't ! and the money is stolen ! - there exist only 2 reasons for this: 1. modern criminals are not stupid enough to use a compromised processor to do their work 2. the reason for the "security processors" is not for NSA or to catch cyber criminals - it is to data mining and tracking (as in the purpose is to steal people's privacy/soul, not to know their bank account numbers or what software they develop on their computer)
That's not FUD. That's just the suckage we have.You may want to look into an Intel solution because at least there are ways to disable the management engine on Haswell and such I think, IIRC. It's some kind of hackery though.
That said, you have my respect. I'd do it if I could, believe me.
Dont be a fanny, hackers dont waste time on wankers like you, and even if, what they will found in you pc? Apart porno library?
