If they are unlocked (and reasonably priced) I will probably buy the cheapest one

running 128 GCN cards for mining, will ya?

Oh no, the 32 core is just way out of my price range

Nah, if I do that I will run a single GTX 1080 or a single Volta card

with 28 Optane XPoint drives in Raid 0 surely

Nah, PCIe lanes are for bragging rights anyways, right?

Even liquid nitrogen cannot cool that monster

yes it can, and very easily, even a water block could, as the heat density isn't much higher on epyc than it is on ryzen 7 due o the separation of the cores, all someone would need is a bigger waterblock

I am pretty sure that he was kidding...

Will you at least have 512GB RAM clocked above 3600MHz ?

Oh no I can imagine CPU block already

Does Zenith Extreme have any m.2 ports cause I do not see any of them. (I am half blind, lost my left eye in car accident)

they have a board in the dim from factor where you can plug 2 m.2 ssds

ASUS uses the "DIMM.2" get it? lol, get it?

it's an expansion slot the size a DIMM, that has M.2 on it to mount it like a RAM stick - their marketing says it helps to get airflow over them, it maybe can hold two on the expansion card, not sure...

Nope, too cheap for that.... Now that I think about it......................................

Spoiler

EPYC wouldn't be ideal for me

Spoiler

Meh, I will just see what X299 and Threadripper have to offer

I tought they will make you pay for Hyper M.2 Card + RAID Keys like on x299

Oh god. intel what u gonna do

exactly my thoughts  

They need to rush out a half-baked plan for a 40 core now to compete  

[Nikolithebear]

Im excited.  Hopefully the used server market will explode with older server hardware now!

Make CPU keys so if you want multi socket server/workstation you have throw another $1000-$2000 for multi socket support cause we decided to lock down chipset. We will also make that chipset cannot boot from regular drives. ONLY INTEL OPTANE AND INTEL's STORAGE DEVICES. And throw 80 core with HT with TDP od 500W.

You have so much pcie with Threadripper that even if you don't have a slot onboard you might as well throw some pcie cards in, you won't run out of lanes.

True true m8 but still I hope they don't start to use RAID key concept globally. I hope AMD kicks out some M.2 expansion card for PCI E x16 3.0 interface cause that will be awesome.

Add-in card with 4x nvme slots would be sick

why does AMD have to do that though? there's plenty of board partners and crazy people at OCZ and Patriot to do that

replace those NAND flash chips with M.2 slots and voila

No no no. 6 NVMe slots + fan that cools those SSD's and you have choice for all RAID's and it doesnt have hang up on motherboard about RAID types

So he can shit on Intel better and have better dreams of shitting on Intel Optane.

all RAIDs?? even RAID-7 and RAID-53 ?
