this thread is hilarious.
“I don’t understand why this expensive thing is expensive! I want it but I want it for less! I don’t want to try to understand!”
HEDT platforms are like... that cliche when you walk into a jeweler and ask “where are the price tags?”
like, if you’ve got to ask... it’s not for you.
Previous generation, 12/16 cores was entry level HEDT. Around $800 for the processor. Expensive platform.
New generation, 12/16 cores is high end mainstream. Under $800 for the processor and a cheaper overall platform cost too.
Just three years ago, 4 cores was high end mainstream. 8 cores was HEDT territory. and there’s still people complaining. /shrug
I think the only market not being served by this are people who want the extra I/O from an HEDT/workstation platform but for whatever reason don’t want a big processor to go with it. Those three dudes are out of luck.
