Those scores are pretty much the same as mine. Single core cinebench has the core it's running on boostin between 4.35ghz and 4.55ghz which is as expected.
What are you using to monitor boost clocks?
Really? Creating another TR trashing thread?

We get it. You're poor. You can't afford Threadripper. Just leave it alone and let those of us that can afford it enjoy it.
Go for Threadripper 3960X - drop the ram spec to 3600C16 (no point going higher due to FSB:IF 1:1 lock breaking), I've just bought 64gb (4x16gb) gSkill Neo for 320 gbp. Asus Strix TRX40-E is a solid board as well, should save a bit of money.
Hhere's a run down of the 1950x stock vs 2950x PBO comparison. Don't focus on the actual numbers too much - it's a year old windows install with about 40 apps running in the system tray and two VM's running - the comparison is just to see the uplifts offered.
The reason why I think this...
No.
It sounds like your apps (database?) are really designed for server class systems - i.e. EPYC.
TR is HEDT class, so the typical apps for this class (Blender, Cinema4D, VMs etc) still scale quite happily with cores even with a restricted memory pool. I'm not planning on going beyond 32gb...
You can get the 1920x for $450 over here.

The new TR chips will work in all existing X399 motherboards (I'm certainly putting a 2990wx in my Aurous), however, due to the higher TDP, overclocking may be very limited or even non existent. But if they get XFR2 working in the same way as the 2700x, overclocking might be a mute pount anyway.
If AMD can get a similar XFR boost profile to the 2700x (4.35ghz single core, 4ghz 8 cores and so on, even if it ends up at 3ghz on 32 cores) then I'll be chopping in my 1950x in August :-)
Are you sure the cpu temp is off? Or is it that you're just applying less voltage than at stock? For example, when mine is set to stock, the voltage can fluctuate all the way up to 1.488 due to XFR kicking in. Subsequently, when I "lock" the voltage, the cpu actually idles at a lower temp.
Dunno. Updated bios since release? Memory timings? I've run it multiple times, always comes out around there - even did 175 one run but didn't screenshot it.
I also score 3040 multi thread at default, which seems higher than the reviewers were getting as well.
In fact, looking at the...
Word of warning, don't follow EKs blob tim method. I did and I had 10c worse temps than when I redid it as a star (big x and small vert/horizontal lines). Use the whole 1g tube (although I use Kryonaut rather than the included Hydronaut).
I've done some tests with Blender and and it scales pretty linearly with cores on Ryzen/Threadripper. So 16 cores at 3.7ghz will still be quicker than 14 cores at 4.2 ghz.
