Recently got this in my email. Wonder how much the CPU bundle discount will be?

 

Thoughts?

X299

Threadripper will be much cheaper

[NumLock21]

 They did that too with Z270. The Optane memory wasn't free, but it was slightly cheaper than buying it separately. That's what it was bundle with not the cooler items they have here.

Consumer optane is money scam. On server side it is sooo worth.

This wont save x299.

Threadripper will shit on x299 five times at least.

[bdubbs]

They want to normalize people buying optane so they think they need it for their next build. 

[Mooshi]

A $99 headset, steam code worth less than $99 or a cpu bundle discount which would be most likely $100 off

 

Is Gigabyte trying to get people to go with Threadripper? lol

If you want something go back to your i9 post and laugh at mine and @LordTaco42's discussion which is bigger potato

Reality? 

The 18 core i9 will probably have a 80% higher score than the 7900X, because it has 80% more cores, so a score of 3936 points. The 16 core Threadripper will probably have a score that is 2x higher than the 1800X (Because it has 2x more cores), so a score of 3228.

The 7980XE is 21% better than Threadripper. So your point "Threadripper will shit on X299 five times at least" is complete utter bullshit

Then if it's so better why the fuck is there rumor for raid keys ? That is like shooting in your own leg. I hope AMD makes rumors about the price truth come truth so Intel takes a big and painful hit. I hope Intel's enthusiast platform burns in hell just with AMD's FX. People care only for price and performance it gives. Nobody will buy that shit. I don't know which idiot will throw $2000 on a god fucking chip that is smaller than our dicks for fuck sake.

What? What do RAID keys have to do with performance?

Trust me, they won't

You can hope whatever you want but X299 is a success

WHO THE FUCK WILL PAY $100 FOR FUCKING RAID 1 AND RAID 5 ?!

I kind of want to see the benchmarks and results when it gets released first before judging.

Benchmarks are out. AMD is quiet currently.

WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT NVMe RAID 1 AND 5 ON DESKTOP?

Even if Intel loses all of their desktop market share, they won't really take a hit. Most of their revenue comes from server parts and that's what is important to them

Early benchmarks are out. 4.7GHz at 1.25V is 100% a success

True but I am interested in much more than that, (reviews, IPC, gaming, stability, etc.....). I know we did see some GeekBench scores floating around there but......

Epyc is ready to fuck Xeons.

Let's just stop arguing about god fucking chips and wait until AMD and Intel kick out those CPU's.

Far from that, Xeon Golds and Platinums will be better

[Simon771]

For buying fancy new CPU worth 600$ and motherboard for 500$, we give you 50$ discount.

 

I expect something like this.

And it's not hate on Intel ... AMD is doing the same.
