If the ~ 18% IPC gain is true, it will leave AMD quite a bit behind. It is priced accordingly. I always said Intel was sitting on something until the day AMD releases a competitor. I'm going for the 7820X myself. Nice to see enthusiast CPU's get massive clock speed boosts.

These 1080 Ti cards are going to run nicely on x299.  :D

Well for price to perf, yes I would go with threadripper

Who wouldn't?  Sometimes you need to sacrifice a little for the sake of a better deal.  That applies to anything in life.

I feel like this year is going to be a costly one for you, even your wallet may be begging for mercy by the end of the year :)

The 7820x is nice, I just wish that it had more PCIe lanes.  I guess that would make it more expensive though :P.

You said you were going for Threadripper, are you doing RX Vega as well? Lots to look forward to, with X299, X399, RX Vega, Volta (potentially), and who knows what else.

Not sure how you did that, but that wasn't my comment.  lol  That was @VagabondWraith, but somehow you changed it to me.

I was interested in Threadripper because they would have more then likely still had the higher multi-threaded performance with 16c/32 threads, but since Intel is dropping a 18c/36 thread part on us, that $1999 sweetness is calling my name.  Threadripper may still be a go if it's dirt cheap as I'll use it to replace my 5960x.

Wait so is AMD really now more power efficient than intel or am I reading these specs wrong?

As long as GPU rendering isn't bottle necked on x8 lanes, then there wouldn't be a problem.  While there are many studies on game performance on x8 lanes, I haven't seen any on GPU compute tasks.

TDP != Power consumption

In benchmarks the 6900K and 1800X consume the roughly same amount of power.

Shhhh.  The guys who spend all day talking about TDP don't realize that.

They measure TDP differently.  It's almost like comparing apples to oranges.

I'll be first out the gate to buy the 18 core.  Do I need 18 cores?  Hell to the fuck no, but I *want* 18 cores.

 

TIM is awesome it means I can pop the top off and direct die watercool with CLU.  4.5Ghz * 18 cores is going to be fucking insane heat output so the closer to the die I can get the better.

Power is complicated, they rate TDP differently. Wait for real world usage :D

Not to mention a boost of 4.5. Imagine HEDT chips hitting 5.2 with ease. :o Never would I have imagined that. Ryzen is shown to be over their TDP in certain workloads esp when overclocked.

The correct answer. New chips, we honestly dont know but if the TDP is anything to go by they'll run hot as all hell so drop some extra dosh on a solid cooler.

Everyone continues to miss the point.  This line of chips isn't made for the mainstream guy who overclocks his CPU buy 100 or so MHz and calls mom to brag about it.

 

Guys who buy this shit don't care about how well it will do on Noctua's latest air cooler or if it's a great value.

I can't wait to get my physics score up in benchmarking. I'm going to practice overclocking my 6700K as I haven't done it before so I'll be able to know the basics once I get X299.

 

Is there an OCing guide you can point me to for beginners?
