    Anyone else eagerly awaiting Threadripper 3960x results?

    Their are no pcie 4.0 nvme that are worth anything with as of yet. the crummy phison chipset used is terrible. 2 2x nvme is also an odd configuration unlikely to be found. Really what I am looking for just needs more lanes, I still lament that their isn't a mid tier socket between am4 and strx40/sp3

    Anyone else eagerly awaiting Threadripper 3960x results?

    A 1080 TI for one. I don't plan on buying newer cards until next year when hbm navi cards become available. nvme x2?!?, I want raid0 speeds not cut up half assing. "When I build a something, I either give it the whole complete Ass, Or no Ass at all!" -- me

    Anyone else eagerly awaiting Threadripper 3960x results?

    This is still rumor.

    Anyone else eagerly awaiting Threadripper 3960x results?

    I need more pcie lanes then 3950x will provide. Its a real shame their isn't something between am4 and tr4 on this front, I don't need 64 lanes, that is vast overkill, but i do want 2 16x video cards(plan to run vfio/project looking glass I need 2 16x cards not 2 8x cards) and 2 nvme drives.

    Anyone else eagerly awaiting Threadripper 3960x results?

    I bought one of those $200 1920x's on amazon hoping the new chipset would be backwards compatible, and give me an upgrade path for pcie4 and much faster cpu. Rumors say it won't be, but I will wait for something official. Not a great lose if I am stuck with x399, the 1920x still a fantastic cpu...

    Updated: Threadripper 1920x $200 @ Amazon

    I am very tempted, but I am thinking that project looking glass and linux vfio could use pcie 4.0, so alas I am waiting, little worried the new TR chips gunna start over 1k tho.

    Is a true sine wave UPS necessary?

    120V AC from the wall outlet is measured as an average voltage (+/-). In reality the peak of the sin wave is around 170V. A true sin wave UPS will reproduce this, a more basic UPS produces a square wave of a lower voltage, both the square wave and the sin wave will "average" to (+/-)120V, and...

    3950X Who's waiting for it?

    Waiting for that "Baby Threadripper" myself. Me needs mah Pcie lanes!

    ASrock x570 motherboard and more

    kinda wondering about the x370 boards myself, how far back are updates gunna reach. (asrock x370 pro gaming in my box)

    New Zen 2 Leak

    Actually I do wonder about that, AM4 which has 1331 pins has basically the same features as FM2+ which is a 906 pin socket, Their are extra pins their for something. I always assumed they where planning for future expansion likely more pcie lanes in future.

    New Zen 2 Leak

    Ryzen has 20 lanes ( 24 if you count the chipset dedicated lanes). 2 8x video cards and 4x nvme if plenty for 2 VM's running only games, not much more but their ye have it.

    New Zen 2 Leak

    Not enough PCIE lanes. 2 gamers maybe, but that would be the limit.

    New Zen 2 Leak

    I would have to bet they will have a smaller IO die for Ryzen, and maybe for Threadripper. I would imagine that their is enough value proposition in a couple extra IO die variants, more so considering they will be using 14nm for them. 2000 series 12 and 16 core parts do not have the NUMA...

    New Zen 2 Leak

    His response get a 30% grade, very few real world workloads look like stream, pure sequential memory copy's with zero computational load are rare. Databases, jump around at utter random, but will generally hit certain parts of the dataset more often then others, the top branches of btree's will...

    New Zen 2 Leak

    The link I provided clearly shows the epyc chips are not bandwidth starved or even close to it. Going from 4 channels to 8 channels does not make a large difference in performance in most benchmarks. I also pointed out multiple mechanisms that would help with the issue otherwise. And I didn't...
