Price is even better than I could have hoped for!

But that x399 motherboard will probably be very spendy...

Especially when costs and materials go down, and prices mysteriously continue to go up and up.

Heh, yeh that's the way of the technology world. My guess is the threadripper won't be the bargain the 8 core Ryzens are up and down the product line. But even 1/2 the price of that Intel part you posted, it's still a great deal and keeps Intel's INSANE pricing model in check. I love capitalism, but man I get tired of being told to bend over and grab the brass rail, son. Sheesh.

Of course they released that. What else would they do when Intel just released a whole new line of chips after AMD's amazing Ryzen showing, that has 6/8/10/12/14/16, and 18 cores. And intels chips usually beat AMD with less cores. haha And AMD is like, WE SHOULD HAVE A 16 CORE OUT IN 6 MONTHS! lol Damnit AMD! THINK AHEAD. I'm just glad my new cpu is 65w on a 14nm process. That halves my power consumption. Any savings go right back into computer parts! It's all about scraping to buy the best parts you can afford!

I'm interested in this AMD upcoming offering:

No doubt it will actually be a better deal than whatever Intel has up their sleeves.

I mean I ran my 1600 against my old system. And yea, I love it. 3x the performance for a 400 dollar investment? CPU, RAM, motherboard. Everything else I had laying around. I'm seriously considering getting the 12 core intel chip though too. I do a ton of high end hd video editing in Adobe After Effects, and those cpus are just crazy talk. I can't even imagine. The extra cache on the chip and all those extra threads on the chips... I'll get 32 gigs of ram and have a 16 gig ram drive just for the video cache in After Effects... smooth scrolling through hd video while you edit it is a beautiful thing.

They can't let AMD have their moment in the sun for even a minute. My 6 core cpu uses as much power as this 18 core does! Crazy. Also, I ran the same test against my Ryzen 1600, and it was 3x faster than my old cpu in the cpu scoring. Crazy.

So you got it together then. How do you like it so far?

It's funny, if it wasn't for AMD, Intel would just sit and milk the 3,5,7 thing for all its worth.
