2920X @ 649 looks like good bang for buck being 12 cores and a fair price that an average consumer might pay - they do for gfx cards so why not cpus. But $1799 for SOHO "consumer class"? Who will pay that and what software other than a benchmark would actually use it? Our software is so far behind these core counts, we need actual progress in frequency increase rather than gluing cores together. I would gladly take 8 cores at 5GHz over 16 cores at 3.5.

There has been some bad sockets for threadripper out there in beginning, is this still a problem?
Lotes VS Foxconn
The screws did not catch very well on some of them.

Be careful Hilbert, please grab a seatbelt when you turn it on.
P.S. great preview as always.
