AMD Ryzen 9 "Threadripper" Lineup Leaked

Yes it is. But I dont think the HEDT series need 16 cores. Why should someone buy a 16 core cpu?

Finite Element Analysis - in particular, on a FE solver run where the back-substitution phase can be run in parallel.

Also, quad-channel memory is particularly effective with programs that perform Finite Element Analysis.

That's stupid from intel too but, why do something stupid? Whatever...

i9 is the only logical choice, they can't go i8 (aside from the fact that it could be trademarked by you know who) as it sounds, well let's just say uninspiring.

If you have to ask why we need more core for HEDT then its not for you stay with mainstream

This keeping on getting better and better. AMD is going full force with 44 PCIe Lanes even on the lowest 1955 variant of Ryzen 9. This is something INTEL is still milking consumers on upcoming HEDT. 16 and 28 Lanes on their HEDT platform is just pathetic.

Are we learning yet?

Sadly Im pretty sure the answer to alot of people is no! :D

Well I think both Intel and AMD should stop this "Core War" and focus on IPC improvements. There is no point on adding more and more cores on desktop cpus. They should stop bringing server dies in the desktop market. If someone needs all these cores, then they should consider the Xeon lineup.

You cant just magically make up IPC gains any more. The limit of fab size is close. Until quantum computing 'MOAH_CORES' is the way to go.
 
JDM4LIFE is just a troll.
 
So now we see why Intel finally decided to drop in that 9 after the "i" in their nomanclature. They had been talking for years that there would be an i9, it took AMD to pull out a 9 in order for them to pull out theirs (Giggity). They just dont want AMDs chips to have a bigger number. Its the good ole PS3 vXbox 360 name war aall over again. lol gotta love marketing xD.
 
Eager to get on this platform.
 
What is the general consensus on those TDPs? :wtf:

Also, Threadripper made me giggle like a 5-year old a little bit. :laugh:

Why keep going with the i# thing again i wonder, it's a new group of products you don't have to call them the same way. I don't care what names are actually, so...
 
I dont mind jumping ship next build
 
I'd just like to say naming the chipset X399 is stupid and probably done just to get in Intel's face. Well thanks AMD, now a bunch of people are going to get confused about the X99 -> X299 Intel transition and think your chipset is an Intel one. I think it would be just for them to be sued on trademark grounds. Seriously, any other combination of letters and numbers would be less confusing than this. F&$# AMD.
 
The market is already so marginal for PC users that benefit from more than 4-cores, and there are even less PC users that benefit from more than 8.

Putting a 32 thread CPU in an ATX platform is cool in theory but not much else. IPC and power consumption are the only things that matter for HEDT/Consumer platforms, these chips are illogical and a waste of time for everyone involved.

No one aside from a dumb bastard child with a really rich mommy is going to mistake the two. These are practically niche products. The people looking for them are going to know or they simply don't care and just order one from a big box OEM.

Someone sure is mad they can't have one and don't have any work to do on it. Do you play rust and roof camp? You're pretty salty.
 
Competition :rockout:
 
danbert2000 has no clue.

I hear what your saying but your mainly only referring to games and even that is getting less and less by the day. My 8core has only got faster and faster over the yrs with software changing and using more of my 8cores then it ever did. Heck just booting up Windows or Chrome now uses all my 8cores, so even the basic of software the stuff you and I use daily now use multi core CPU's alot more.

This is the future and it was always going to be this way, now its time for lazy devs to get there head out of there asses and get programming so we can make use of the power that is now infront of us.

I was going to upgrade to a AM4/+ system sometime next yr but this socket tome honestly looks more future proof and more exciting, so I might change my mind by then, time will tell.
 
I think I see my next cpu purchase...glad I waited it out on Ryzen.

I am sorry, why do you need a car or motor bike when you can just walk ?

To each its own, there are people who need 16 core CPU where as there are people who are currently fine with quad core.

That's AMD doing. They are selling people more cores is better and then people complain that the Intel stuff has less cores so they then have to release stuff with more cores.

This is whole new level of stupidity i am reading today.
 
I am going to get one of these, and I'm going to mainly game on that ish...productivity? Yes but i will mostly game on it. Ppl are crazy, buy what you want/can afford. If it's makes you happy then more power to you. I remember growing up and i couldn't afford to build a pc to my exact liking...now i can and i will buy what suits me. If you don't think this cpu line up is for you, stop trying to convince others that it's not for them as well.

In your analogy walking is simply not owning a computer. It's more along the lines of choosing between a swift motorbike that goes 0-60 in 5 seconds, with great fuel mileage, but tops out at 150mph or a similar bike with reduced fuel efficiency that tops out at an unnecessary and probably never achieved 200mph.

Man you went literal, never go literal when there is an analogy...

I'm kinda leaning toward an Intel platform for my new work rig, only because we have a small number of predictable indicators for the Rampage 6 Extreme and Rampage 6 Apex boards. When ROG gives up more facts and specs on their new AMD HEDT mobos, then I may go with an AMD 12-core. Going to be a very exciting next 14days as we move closer to Computex. YAY! :clap:

What an amazing time to be an DIY enthusiast.

Right now I'm running an Asus R5E10 mobo and although it is very beautiful, the Haswell-E IMC architecture (circa August 2014), I do believe was NEVER designed to push DDR4 speeds of 3200MHz/14 latency, as my CPU package temps at idle approach 52C, when enabling the XMP 2.0 memory profile. 3200/14 DDR4 XMP on my Skylake 6700K rig, adds no significant heat at all, the CPU package temps idling at 28C, Go Figure. :D

The Skylake IMC is more advanced, than the Haswell-E, that's my takeaway from owning both platforms. And these AMD HEDT CPU memory specs are way up at 3200MHz, so that may sway my decision also to grab a 12-core "Threadripper". :)

I do SO LOVE my AMD RADEON PRO graphics card, it may not be a gamer, but it produces the most beautiful work screen and clarity of text I've ever laid eyes on. Two rigs is the way to go, work rig, gaming rig. :toast:
