AMD Rome server CPU's will gain enough money for AMD to start developing even faster products. Also in the GPU market they will get back, first priority was to start earning money... gain money for R&D, the rest comes later

"5 fps slower at 720p" Ah I bet you watch them fake bench marking videos on youtube and think you have a grasp of the hardware you talk about. Kinda hard to take any of you fan boy's serious anytime you talk about the hardware you love.
I'm gonna stop you right there. This is your only warning.

Which frequency per core are we looking at for this new architecture?
extrapolating existing models (you can't account for new arch.) i'd say 4.5-4.8 per core, all cores utilized. single core over 5kHz just from die shrink for the consumer variant. for the Epyc line, most likely 3.5 -3.8 kHz on all cores...which is frankly amazeballs.

Yeah, it's a datacenter CPU, and I've never paid attention to those since developments there were so remote from the desktop. That's why I had quad-cores for ten years - under Intel. Now with Ryzen, and even more so Threadripper, AMD is demonstrating a real-world connection. They are pushing the technology from top to bottom, and pushing Intel. That's an incredible achievement; but they can only keep it up if we support them in return. I'll buy AMD whenever I possibly can. I don't care if some game runs 5 fps slower at 720p. I also don't care if only six of the eight cores on my 1800X ever get much use - today. There's a lot of tomorrows and they're a lot brighter now. That's why this datacenter chip is actually exciting for a desktop guy. Thank you AMD.
It's definitely a cycle: Intel w/86->P3, AMD w/Athlon, Intel w/Core. Now the pendulum begins to swing again. And more accurately swing towards the middle where use case / feature-sets becomes more important then "performance king" titles.

I'm pretty sure this is fake but I heard zen2 works with z390 motherboards. Again, I really think this is fake. Edit: I hope it's true.

Let us hope that from now on these "hardware" exploits have and are taken care of by now. Still holding off on a new build over here.....
We're talking about AMD here, not Intel. AMD patched their vulnerabilities earlier in the year and have not had a real vulnerability announced since.

If AMD's initial public statements regarding backwards compatibility hold true, Zen2 will work on all AM4 based motherboards so long as the boards can support the power requirements of the installed processor. This particular processor won't work on an AM4 board though, as it's a datacenter/server processor.

I highly doubt it will work with a z390 board, being that it is the Intel platform.

Let us hope so..... Just because you don't hear of something doesn't mean its gone and or fixed. Kinda weird that AMD drops a new series.of chips and Intel gets hit with monster hardware vulnerabilities. I mean both did in a sense, but intel has been "screwed" to say the least. Many friends and family in IT and they've said nothing but how their companies have spent millions replacing shtuff for and from these exploits. Would interesting if AMD held onto said hardware vulnerability information until dropping their new line of zen CPU's....

If you are post hunting 50, try to do it somewhere out of sight. Like in pub or some boring subsection nobody uses. Maybe just one thread, have funny conversation in pub... You have time till 25th.
