I am curious which one is better.

 

I wouldn't doubt EK's is gonna be better.

Hey @LinusTech You should review this and see how it compares to higher end more "trusted" gear

would that be a OC or turbo, and maybe the ram helped. I was just posting what I found.

 

Intel has said the 7960x is around 3200 in Cinebench. 

This was an OC run, on water. Ram at 3200 C19 in quad channel (latency is abysmal, as one could guess). Still, the voltage required to achieve 4.0 is a little less than what I've seen most Ryzen 7 users throw at their CPU's to hit the elusive 4ghz mark. That's a good sign at least.

 

32 threads at 4ghz is nothing to write off, and should make for a cheap workhorse outside of the most demanding AVX workloads. It will be interesting to see if EPYC scales to that same degree, given that the waterblocks that support TR will also support EPYC as well. Just a shame they didn't allow for TR to work in EPYC boards, as that would make for a great upgrade path if someone's workload got to the point in which they needed more cores, they could simply swap a CPU.

 

I won't judge AMD on the decision to segment the two, as I have been critical of them in the past for causing stagnation in their product stack by trying to force backwards compatibility, thus making it harder for them to change for the better. If this MCM design proves to be effective at delivering 64 threads at 4ghz, along with that massive octa-channel memory bandwidth, even AVX loads will be a cakewalk compared to even the best Xeons. Just pray you have the worlds greatest water loop, because I imagine that will be nearly impossible to cool, lol.

Heh cool though. Want to see better looking ones, but monochrome one is ok.

If BYKSKI claim that their water cooling blocks are cheaper than most brands and they are the first chinese manufacture to produce water blocks for threadripper, I think that the consumer market would be greatly concerned about build quality and the price.

Lol, now we have "full cover" water blocks for cpus too?

This is but a minor set back.... Well we can only wait and see what the heat out put is like when under proper cooling solution with some AVX torture runs
