Yeah but they're (not confirmed yet) soldered and Kaby isn't

 

Even compared to the 140W Broadwell-E chips, this is 150W spread around 2 chips which are pretty far apart from each other, soldered to the IHS (theoretically, although if AMD was able to solder two separate chips to a single IHS then hats off to their engineers), so at the very least they will take less cooling than Broadwell-E to keep in safe temps.

 

AMD scored a huge win in performance per watt, achieving numbers Intel could only dream of as of the release of Ryzen.

i will wait for the release. i want to see the price and performance difference between the R7 and the 10-core thread ripper. I dont think i will be able to afford, or need, the 16 core cpu.

Also Threadripper itself is huge so it has a larger contact surface to evenly dissipate its heat to a cooler.

hope the cables are sleeved

the thing doesn't have any windows or rgb - not gaming enough
