Posted August 15, 2018 I guess it is quite tight between the two of them. But what are your opinions? How low will the 1950x go in price after the 2950x hits the market? Benchmarks show that they are quite the same when it comes to performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they release specific motherboards for the new Threadrippers? What about an Asrock x399 Taichi? Should work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 15, 2018 Iirc the 2950X is at best 10%, usually more like 5% faster. At $900 the 1950X should be less than $810 to make sense. I've seen it as low as 650€ though.
