"the 16-core listing would run 300 MHz lower than current gen 16-core (which seems weird)".... It makes sense because it's also listed with a lower TDP, suggesting it will probably consume less power ("probably" because TDP does NOT = power consumption). I reckon nothing but a monster liquid cooler will suffice for the 250W TDP of the 2990X 😎

Thermalright Silver Arrow TR4 give a shot, maybe Hilbert can ask for a sample for his threadripper2 review.
My guess is that it wont be a direct replacement for the 1950x, but a lower tdp for less cooling friendly environment. While i can cool my 1950x on stock with a Noctua U14-TR4 fine, i barely can sustain it quietly under load.
Now the 2990X seems like a beast, probably wont be able to be cooled by air under heavy load, although i would love to see the new xrodney

Should wait for the benchmarks to be disappointed. Surely there was some low hanging fruit they took advantage of, or new architecture feature to put into battle to iron out bugs and further optimize for zen2.

2950X 16 cores at 125TDP is rather crazy, i changed my phenom quad 955 BE last year, that was the same TDP and very close to the same clocks.
The performance difference would be 7-10 times compaired to my old relic and the 2950X probably would be a better overclocker too.
