AMD Threadripper 1950X 16-core Appears on Geekbench and SiSoft Sandra

Also, a lot of people are jumping onto X299 - the best boards and CPUs are mostly sold out already (for now) - I wonder how many people will wait and see if TR is better than this, or just give up and jump off the hype train before it crashes into a blue wall...After all, this "leak" could be straight BS.
Sorry, that is not accurate. Is the other way around actually. Nobody almost is jumping to the new platform due to 1 major thing. Unavailability of quality motherboards and insufficient stocks of the existing ones, the main reason most of them are sold out....

So you are saying nobody is buying x299 based on it being sold out? :laugh:
 
16 core CPU need to give at least 38-40.000.
Without that that's not good CPU from my perspective.
16 cores Hey... Intel 10 cores 1000$ results are arround 35.000.
How 16 cores give same score as overclocked i7-5930K, that's big question.
AMD have 16 cores and Intel 6 core.

AMD plan to charge him 850$, why someone to pay so much for 26.000 score if Intel could reach 35.000 for 1000$. Intel i9 with 16 cores will reach over 40.000.

X299 is than not so bad option, when price of i9 line start to go down in next years people will have opportunity to buy them later. If they performance are far better than i9-7900X they will work as Xeons capable to OC. And you know how long Xeons serve customers, that's not platform for change on 10 months as mainstream just because new chipset arrive or new socket.

Read the first posts, the geekbench score is clearly off. 16C/32T Threadripper beaten by the same uarch 1800x, does that make any sense?
 
I guess we will either have to wait until some legitimate benchmarks are revealed.
 
there is no debate that intels CPU is better but for people who can get away without super good single thread and can effectively use all the cores of the AMD CPU it is a very attractive (potentially) system especially with all the PCIe lanes. Many people are PCIe lane starved and this is a very attractive offer. Also AMD might support ECC which intels do not so anyone who needs ECC and wants decent single thread AMD is the only option.

If Intel offered ECC support on HEDT they would steal a lot of AMDs customers.
You have a great point.

Dude its TP; people will not wait for sh**! :D The rumors goes that the graph also include RX VEGA performance, releasedate and AMDs quarterly result!
 
Who was first, X299 or X399? And was this intentional or what.
 
No demand so no supply?
Or maybe Intel is waiting to see how well they sell before they ramp up CPU and chipset production, same with board partners - lots of X99 parts are still on shelves, eventually heading for the "bargain bin", so they're being cautious. letting old X99 stock sell as long as possible before the inevitable price cuts.
 
Just in..


Nice nice nice...
