How bout legspreader ?

Haha so i wasnt the only one to think in that direction

I would buy a chip named legspreader just to have it.

I would buy a bunch if it worked as advertised lol

 

[Threadshredder]

Threadshredder perhaps
Has some assonance in it

Nah, that name will never work.

Who did they hire to come up with these names? A 14 year old?

I think threadripper is a perfect name, more so for what they intend it for.

Yeah X58 is still a great platform and i am amazed by how well it still plays even the latest games af high or even ultra settings still.

But i cut not let this slide: Intel i7 920 @ Stock speeds baby. Are you really running this puppy stock, it screams at you and begs to be overclock and i can darn recommend it aswell. You can really feel a difference from stock to like 4 GHz in daily use aswell as in games. Before i got me an I7 980X i also had an I7 920 so i know what i am talking about and its not like i dies from oc if done propperly. mine ran 4 years at 4 GHz before i sold it and still going strong.

If you have and upgrade need then why not try an find a 6 core X58 cpu Xeon or I7? They overclock even better than an I7 920. With my I7 980X at 4.25 Ghz oc i run BF4 64 player online maxed out and still getting around 68 to 90 FPS and other cpu intensive games also feels more snappy/runs better. Dont know if its the ekstra cores, maybe more L3 cashe and or higher overclock, but the fact is 6 core on X58 is very nice to have

I am replying on a X58 with a Xeon x5675 overclocked to 4.4GHz, M.2 SSD boot drive, 12GB ram. Waiting for the next HEDT from either Intel or AMD.

Damn that's a big socket for Threadripper.

I thought the recent Skylake-X socket was already plenty big, but dang.
