Reserved for mem-, oh never mind!
Edit: yeah I am on the toilet again...

Every now and then these reservations are fine, however, let's keep the discussion threads for what they are please, discussions.

hmm, so all they have going for the 16 core threadripper is the quad channel interface

@Hilbert Hagedoorn Fair enough

I guess if you are already on the TR4 platform it gives you some upgradability to the newer architecture. It does also have moree PCIe lanes.

Can't wait to upgrade my 1950x to TR 3k 😀
Undying
So no 32c/64t TR besides Epyc. Maybe its not need afterall.
Astyanax
how did you come to this conclusion?
Silva
The joke is getting old m8.
So, 16 core minimum? Paying a premium for PCIe lanes and other features I guess, as Ryzen will be 16 cores max.
They do have to get rid of defective TR, if people are willing to buy.

if following past release (https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_threadripper)
16c/32t most likely with be the entry/low-end
and obviously there will be 24c/48t, 32c/64t
even we might getting 64c/128t for the high-end if AMD want to press intel as much as they can

Me, trying to figure out how it is even remotely possible you came up to this conclusion:

yes it might seem pointless to make a 16c TR3 part having the 3950x coming up, but there are people with 300-400$ x399 boards that would like an upgrade and they probably appreciate the extra lanes and memory bandwidth, AMD is playing really nice, lets hope consumers wont let that fade away by letting AMD grab onto 60% marketshare now

Maybe its a chip with two/four cores per chiplet enabled for qualification purposes.
You can still test the quad channel memory and not leak any info on the actual real TR CPU's.

Recently upgraded to the 2950X during Prime Day. Got it over half off!! I was really excited. Single core correctly boosts to 4.4, saw it a few times during benchmarks. This thing tears up 4k Gaming and everything else. I would not go beyond 16 core Threadripper though for gaming, as it drops off then performance wise from what I've encountered. I've yet to struggle in any 4K game holding 60 FPS maxed. I found a bottleneck calculator and I currently have a .1% bottleneck. If this CPU is X399 still great. I'll grab it later on. I'm excited for it even though I may not buy it asap.
Just curious if the single core boost is 4.1ghz on this it must be more efficient to have gains over the 2950X 4.4ghz single core. I'm running 4.2 Ghz on all my other cores 24/7 and it idles 38-42C. So really excited about this.
Yeah this is exactly how I feel. I Got these Samsung EVO M.2's on sales and will RAID them soon when ready.
The system is running fantastic at Quad DDR4 3400 speeds with custom timings at 16-17-17-35-T1.
It is a 3600 kit I took to 3400 to tighten timings to where I wanted them stable. Yeah Ryzen 3 is amazing. But to say Threadripper can't game....It just isn't true. It's stomping 4K with a .1% bottleneck. Can't really complain.
You go into 24 core+ I'll start to agree. A lot of those gaming optimizations are gone and lower clock speeds per core in some cases. I really feel like this is a sweet spot for someone like me right now at 4K.
Yeah PCIe 4.0 is on Ryzen 3. That is great I won't lie. If I wanted faster than 13-15GB per second transfer in RAID M.2's I'd think about it lol.
That is why I'd want PCIe 4.0 right now would be data transfer. But for now.....this is plenty fast. Tons of life from this sytem.
Not knocking those with Ryzen 3 either. Just would kind of be a cross or almost downgrade in some aspects for me right now with my system.
Maybe Prime Day next year lol.

Exactly; running the ROG ZE here with a 2950X, and while it's a great setup, I will definitely want to upgrade to the new CPU architecture when it arrives.
My 2950X seems a strange one, whether using PBO or in standard configuration with an under-volt of .08v, it'll sit at 4.1GHz on all cores during video encoding (52c-56c) and hit a max of 4.398GHz for lightly threaded tasks.
A simple plug-in upgrade will be greatly appreciated. I say simple, because there is a hard-line water cooling loop in the way, and I don't want to re-bend tubing for a new motherboard simply because the CPU socket is in a slightly different location....
