Weren't these going for $120 a couple months ago?
not that i know of, but i could have missed something. that would have been a great deal. the lowest i've seen 2680v2 has been around $150 on a few occasions. $120 for 2695v2 would be really sweet. the 2696v2 was $230 each for a pair a little while ago. and we also saw 2697v2 for $250~$300.

OMG, that's ridiculous. how do any of you guys manage to not drain your entire retirement accounts and just hoard this stuff?
We needs it.
We wants it.
Must have.
Must have the precious.

I'll admit that while I have been following and amazed at the appetites for the micron SSD's I have so far remained in control. No you haven't. Yes, I have. Yes *we* have. yes. no yes... Sorry sitting in an isolated server room for the last 12 hours... NO we are not sorry... LOL

Who honestly needs more than a few?
Unless you’re just reselling them for more I don’t get the whole “buy 100 of em”

guess ya a little late to the party.... lol....it was a fire sale. some people were getting them for as low as $100 each BO for quantity as low as 4..... I've seen mass buying of like 30+ from one buyer..... and still the whole lot of 500 cpu gone in 48hrs total for both sales..... If there's another batch of 500 at $120 or less they would also be gone in 24 hr or less.

Yeah, these are good but really the only thing really holding them up is the ddr3 price compared to ddr4.... other than that the newer cpus from amd are pretty much getting better performance/$

it's just a matter of time for v2....lol..... you can only go as fast as dual 2696 v2.... which is now actually more expensive than 1950x.... so it's just a matter of time..... the fact that ddr3 is cheaper as well as the fact that you can get above 256gb won't hold v2 up for too long once ryzen become significantly faster for cheaper even more..... 90% of users doesn't need more than 64gb ram anyway.

when it comes to rackmount equipment i just don't see how buying ryzen chips, mobos, and ddr4 comes close to really cheap barebones dell r620/r720 or vrtx enclosures with super cheap m620 blades and v2 chips with cheaper-than-ddr4 ddr3 16gb dimms. for the price of an average TR4 mobo i can buy 4 M620 blades with 24 dimm slots each.

Hilarious! I went through the same conversation with myself on those micron drives but reason won out...

Ha! glad I am not the only one. I repeatedly said no to myself on the micron drives too, watched them disappear and then patted myself on the back for showing restraint.

Yeah, i guess that's true if you look at it that way.... but if you look at it from a workstation point of view then things are different...

i was looking at 5600 servers because they are actually better value than anything. $33 for an x5680. If you can find cheap chassis and blades and pop in x5680s, its best value. not necessarily best considering other factors though.

for 1U, hard to find cheap dl380 and r610 and x3550 in my region . not enough govt departments maybe. wish i lived in USA. so much more fun options hardware wise

1366 stuffs are definitely bargain price for performance. too bad they are not as power efficient. also their MB are lacking of new features.
