Over the weekend LinusTechTips posted some results on an Alienware Area 51 powered by a 16-core, 32-thread ThreadripperThe 32 GB (4x 8 GB) with 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM was fitted with a FE GTX 1080 Ti.

Some benchmark numbers have been posted and compared to an Intel X299 system with a Core i9-7900X (10 cores, 20 threads) based on the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe, 4x 8 GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 memory, the same GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition, and a 512 GB Samsung 950 Pro NVME SSD.

The Threadripper system certainly delivers. Check below some benchmarks in the form of ROTR, 3DMark, Cinebench and Blender.

So basically:

For the reasons one might want a multi-core monster, the threadripper is great, especially for the price, and is the one to get, compared to Intel.

The reviews i'm seeing on places like newegg for the 7900x seem..... interesting. Things like:

"Cons: It's too cheap.

Other Thoughts: It should be more expensive."

Didn't they get it to work with faster RAM?

I hope the new 1900X also delivers.......I want those extra lanes and quad channel.....for someone who just play games mostly, a 1950X would be overkill. My savings are for the 1900X and a 2180Ti to replace my 6 years old Sandy Bridge of my signature

PS. Great idea Alienware!!!, make their customers to save some money using 2666MHz memory.....GENIUS!

Still waiting to see benchmarks when the Threadripper gets to strectch it's legs on a full x399 motherboard and with a faster ram. Also want to see what happens when someone ponies up the money and puts in 1 tb of ram. Intel is really getting it's skirt pulled up around it's neck on this one. :funny:

Threadripper "sux" for gaming, ROX for rendering
