AMD 32 Core EPYC CPU Engineering Sample

intresting. that chip has the same exact issues running windows as my phi chips (which work under linux) to boot windows you either had to disable a tile or disable hyperthreading. I would be curious if that help for this cpu as well.
 
It's illegal for the company to sell ES cpus I think, but eBay sellers are all "fell off a truck" products by someone's brother so no liability.
 
I think if AMD or Intel cared they could stop this but they don't seem to care.
 
My inner geek really wants me to buy this. But my rational mind says "hell no". Any ideas for good uses for 32 cores? If I'm asking I'm guessing that means I don't need them and I shouldn't buy this?

We just use them for Distributed Computing. Threads=:)

You might be able to pick up a SuperMicro board for a reasonable price. But they are not cheap.
 
Remember that it has the following statement:

It was tested in a Supermicro H11SSL with BIOS 1.0. The system does POST, and you can enter BIOS setup, but it runs into an error while Windows 10 is booting. I suspect it crashes because this stepping isn't supported by the BIOS. It did successfully boot Ubuntu 18.10, but I can't make any guarantees.

Are there no software overclocking tools for this? Is the multiplier locked? If this thing could be unleashed there were CPUs like this selling for $3700USD about six months ago.

nobody knows. I don't think there are any SP3 motherboards that natively support overclocking.

No there are not that I know of. Basically one gigabyte board and a few supermicros. Have both, no options.

I would expect this.

Also I wouldn't expect AMD to allow overclocking of these via their software.
