Threadripper = Ryzen 3?

[Rcmaniac10]

I hope amazon does not send me a Ryzen 3, anyways since this is #6 on amazons new releases on computer component section, I would really like to see how many people have bought Threadripper cpu and a comparison to the Intel sales.

maybe on release day linus can tell us how many have been sold using affiliate code.

LMFAO if an R3 1200 turns up  

 

Joking aside its just a fuckup/placeholder they won't ship you an R3

 

EDIT: The funniest thing on that page is the + $86.99 expert installation  man I'd definitely take that job, $90 to plop a cpu in a socket.

never buy anything from Amazon

yeah but a couple days ago they had the correct box on there, now the correct box is the 4th image. its also funny now this shows up....

And im like, that does not fit together, who is building these systems.

Japan people are clueless about computers my friend paid 1500$ for a GTX 1060 and a i7-7700 than +500$ for insurance when all the parts come with RMA's. so paid 2000$ for a 1060 and i7-7700 + some weird insurance that probably doesn't do much and it built by them. I could probably try to start a business and undercut these big companies and make some money

I dont really see a point in the installation service that amazon provides, its cheaper to do it yourself. I think that there will be a huge competition in terms of sales between intel and AMD, since both of their CPU's are priced at $1000.

They definitely earn those $86.99

Wow no shit  

[You_are_a_cunt]

Amazon is notorious for wonky information and missmatched product pictures

[Rcmaniac10]

i can't help and wonder..... what if intel changed the image on amazon's page somehow by paying someone, just to decrease sales.

because now on related items and suggested items a threadripper is being suggested but you only get that ryzen 3 image.

wowowo woo! lets be serious here, it's not that simple, you also have to put the thermal paste on, and maybe even a CPU cooler, which as we all know is a hard thing to do

they are not good. I used to be Amazon affiliate and they kicked me out without compromise after earning about $800 a month. They also took all my remuneration from the Amazon affiliate program. No clear reason too.

Yes, tried to submit my appeal, but they replied with a vague explanation that doesn't make any sense.

Well it is threadripper, so for what its worth, it takes a slightly higher degree of finesse.

You loosen/tighten 3 screws that are labelled with arrows in the correct order and slide a cpu into a tray... Its not complicated. If anything its easier than Intels method of floating the cpu and then pressing it down because the tray prevents damage to the socket and also prevents the orientation problem.

JK, but the guy does still have to come out there, or do you send it to them?

No idea if I ever had to select that option I'd be too full of shame.
