AMD EYPC or RYZEN 9 for workstaion

[Ahmedelgohary94]

Hi guys I asked two days ago for which one is better for workstation it's r7 1800x vs r9 . Iheared that AMD EPYC is going to be available sooner so I'm thinking of building a dual socket workstaion with it . But is it only for servers or just like xeon for server/workstation

just wait people.

EPYC is geared towards single socket, AMD is looking to break the dual socket mold. But you're looking at pretty limited motherboard choices with EPYC, just wait for Threadripper.

wait for it to be released before making a decision ?

Seems like an 1800x is good for that work case.

1800x is a very good chip but 3ds max works ultra fine with more cores and l3 cache for ex xeon with 12 cores will outperform i7 6900k that's why I'm waiting for HEDT or Server/Workstation CPU zen gives the same performance of intel high-end chips for awesome price

The last summer before prices went high as fuck here (egypt) I was welling to get hp z640 or z620  but I changed my mind with the announcement of zen

Well, Threadripper is server-grade stuff while EPYC is enthusiast/ HEDT grade. Both will support ECC memory, if that was ever a factor. I believe the Threadripper will have unnecessery price premium over the EPYC, like the xeons have over extreme edition processors at the blue corner.

It's the vice bro .threadripper is an extreme edition while EPYC is server/workstaion processor .threadripper is a cutdown version of EPYC just like i7 7900k is a modified version of xeon e5

Sure, get a big mobo with 4 pcie x16 size slots and run them in about this setup.  Zen has 24 pcie lanes so you could run it like this and use SATA ssd/hdd

 

X8

 

X8

 

X4 o4 X8 (if three cards)

 

X4 or N/a

Yup, you're right, I mixed up the two. But my point still stands

Bruh I'm arguing in favor of an 1800x/1700, not HEDT but mainstream.
