Holy bananas!

That is surprising and good news for people that waited and hoped these would clock better.

I am still waiting patiently for a 7nm TR4 CPU before I make a choice.

 

[Nightfire]

Those are some nice CB numbers. At stock, it looks to beat a 9990xe, which is where an overclocked 10940xe should land.
Overclocked, it is similar to a stick 2970wx.

intel who?

nice.

Same, hoping for 100-200mhz higher than am4, if not a 3950x may replace my 1920x.

I can get 3379 on R15 with my 3900x at 4.4Ghz all core and 1.375v. Not 3950 good of course. I am going to see if I can go higher to 4.5 now.

I'm just happy they are waiting to build up supply before releasing.

You're getting caught up in the e-peen, mang. That 12 core 3900X is just fine. Don't burn it up!

Hahaha. It is back to normal now. I was playing to see what it would do. It ran far to hot with the Noctua for me to keep it that way.

Armatures

Since reading this I went back to all core for the hell of it. Running at [email protected] though I only primed it for 15 minutes.

The 3950x is so niche
At 800 I'd say it's a better proposition to get a 24 core threadripper 3 when they drop which will probably be about 895.

AMD is doing an awkward pricing setup as far as history would indicate from past pricing structure.

 

[BrotherMichigan]

I don't see TR3 starting below $1000 this generation, or at least not by much. The 24 core Threadripper will likely be more than a match for the 10980XE in HEDT workloads, so I would expect them to price it accordingly.

 

[DuronBurgerMan]

Yeah, I expect price symmetry here.

6 fast cores for $250
8 fast cores for $330 - $400
12 fast cores for $500
16 fast cores for $750
24 fast cores for $1000

And so on and so forth.

Makes sense. And since the chiplets are driving the cost, probably, it makes sense from that perspective too.
