AMD to Include AIO Liquid Coolers with Ryzen Threadripper Processors

[nemesis.ie]

I doubt it - different market.

There is still a "product stack", you don't want to sell your HEDT (or SHEDT) too close to the top mainstream part or the top mainstream part may not sell etc.

AMD's stack seems to be pretty well spaced now. Obviously there are additional costs with HEDT such as motherboards and needing to populate more RAM, but the core CPU cost is likely a large factor in the purchasing decision - this will be even more true when lower core count TR SKUs appear. We may See the Ryzen pricing drop further.

AMD have more control over CPU prices than motherboard prices too of course.

I wonder how AMD's four-glued-together-quads CPU will stack up against Intel's 10-core CPU in some real tests. I don't expect Threadripper to do well in games or memory intensive applications. It's got too much internal latency. In fact, I don't think 99.5% of consumers are interested in buying these Desktop chips. Will they make any money off of these?

Most people hyping and bragging about Threadripper aren't even gonna buy it. It's just ammos for fanboys, hence people screaming "value" for a $800 and $1000 HEDT processors. Ha

Not everyone looking at ThreadRipper is interested in how good it is for gaming. I game some, but I also enjoy running electrical simulations (among others) and more cores really cut down on simulation times.

Most peope also can't afford supercars. Yet they still argue wich one is the fastest or best looking. The fact that a person can't buy a product does not mean they should not voice their opinion about said product.
Also regarding TR-s value: when was the last time you could buy a 12c/24t CPU for 800$ or 16c/32t for 1000$? The answer is never. Unless you count used Xeons off Ebay or something. Certainly nothing new with warranty. Hence yes - TR is a tremendous value.
Tho i fully admit it's not for me. I have no use for that many cores and threads. Granted - if i had enough spare money i would problably build a TR system "just because" but when it comes to usage patters i think Ryzen 7 as an all round great CPU is much more suitable for me financially. The only thing i'll miis from TR are the PCI-E lanes.
