Can I haz moar cores?

I was expecting more single socket cpus and higher clocks

Just wait until Tuesday guys. Under 96 hours to launch.

I’m so bad with secrets. If I were you I’d be hinting all over the place with terrible giddiness

Are you under the impression that those core counts are double socket?

Well AMD does make it easy to decide which single socket cpu you need, only three choices.

yeah was expecting how clock speeds as well !

base clocks of 2.60Ghz, 2.80Ghz, 3.0Ghz, 3.20Ghz, 3.40Ghz and 3.60Ghz at least

Some SKUs have x/y TDP numbers?

The 7281 and 7351 are attractive per core price points.

Dual 7281's are definitely a sweet spot.

32 cores and 64 threads for $1200

Probably the most bang for the buck.



EDIT: Should make the high end used Xeons drop a bit in price.

Anybody care to Guess how a 7281 would compare to an e5-2640v4 ??
Is that anywhere near a fair comparison performance wise ? Price wise the Intel today is ~900-950 so 50% more than AMD.

 

[gigatexal]

If you get half the perf for half the price would you take it?

 

[Evan]

@gigatexal no I would not take half the performance at half the price, especially for a greater TDP.
At a Guess AMD will in a threaded environment delivery say the same performance at 25% or better cost reduction. Actually AMD at least initially have to delivery greater performance cheaper to get some market share.

So is Tuesday going just the announcement or will there be availability starting Tuesday?

Launch with ramp over several quarters. (Edit for stupidity, not sure why I was connecting convention and EPYC, see below: June 20th) July 30th is SIGGRAPH, a hard core graphics user conference e.g. scientists, 3D creators, engineers. Alienware will have Threadripper exclusive (with some boutiques).

@DWSimmons end of July this year for SIGGRAPH General Information

Ooooops. Maybe I was thinking of Vega equaling SIGGRAPH, now I'm not really sure. How about I'll just wait for your article.

I am at the launch event/ workshops in Austin TX. Expect something tomorrow afternoon (it is the afternoon of the 19th here.)

Busy night/ morning ahead writing.

Freaking finally we will get some official specs
