amd 32 core?

And you can certainly run at home. But it's expensive unless you need the threads. Some idiot will buy it to run games only and bitch because it's not as fast as they thought at gaming haha guarantee it.

I'm anticipating $1599 or so. I'll be getting Threadripper 16/32 Around August or Sep because this time in waiting on thorough reviews and not a day 1 purchase. However if Epyc isn't much more say a few hundred more than TR I may consider it. Not sure I really need 64 threads. The mobos are probably around 500 for Epyc anyways.I do heavy video editing and protein folding and 32 sounds loke enough for my budget. Intel is retarded at 1999 for an 18 core even though I'm sure it's you g to be very very fast at multithread apps. I don't count on the Intel 18 or Zen 16 to beat the 7700k in single thread by any means.

I get a little sad thinking about having 32 cores at home and not a single motherboard I could buy having enough VRM beefiness to push it irresponsibly. For someone who remembers when we didn't even have the integer and floating point units integrated into a single socket (coprocessors and Overdrive chips anyone?) , seeing that we can now actually buy 32 pretty beastly cores on a single chip is just a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot type of achievement is such a seemingly short time span.


Epyc looks like it could be just a spiteful punch to Intels sack depending on pricing. From what I've seen so far, the addition of a few key mainframe type CPU features could give AMD a much more lucrative market to expand into. The irony being it's the same market Intel abandoned when it stopped Itanium development. It's like someone handing you a Beowulf cluster built by the devil and on a single package.

I like how they named the chipset x399. There's a nutpunch for you. Maybe they will bring Starship forward with this DOE deal.
