@Davewolfs - I still think the V3 platform is awesome bang for the buck. Really doing this to support competition in the market and show that William and I are willing to use AMD even if @cliffr is not just yet.
The fact is that right now for $1000 I can get a dual 2686 v3 that will significantly beat 1950x at multithread work. As well as the fact that I can have a lot more than 128gb ram as well as ECC ram support. as well as the fact that ddr4 ecc 16gb ram modules are cheaper than non-ecc 16gb ram modules.Personally I wouldn't put a single penny into the v3 Platform.

If you are only looking at single cpu configuration then there's not a lot of plus left for intel, but if you looking into dual cpu configuration, then for a little higher power usage, 2011 v3 can still easily beat 1950x at multithread for same price
if you are only looking at single thread, then xeon, 1950x are the wrong answer. much cheaper to just get the latest skylake i7-xxxxK cpu for $320... we are really only talking about highly threaded performance.My 2670 can do single thread better than a 2686 - what kind of workstation is that
A workstation would be a mix. In fact I am looking forward to seeing the numbers on the W series Xeons Patrick posted about recently.if you are only looking at single thread, then xeon, 1950x are the wrong answer. much cheaper to just get the latest skylake i7-xxxxK cpu for $320... we are really only talking about highly threaded performance.
well, I will have to say these are not "cheap" solutions. thanks the the larger unconventional size, we are being gorged by the price. I can get two generic 2011 coolers for total of $4o or so...@wildpig1234 Perhaps https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U12S-TR4-SP3-premium-grade-cooler/dp/B074DW3FS2/ for air and https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019954Y2Q/ for water? Those were the two on my list.
Much higher clock speed with TR as compared to epyc:I'm just curious why TR over an Epyc based WS?

good luck with $4000 for each cpu! lol...As soon as we can get our hands on a Dual Epyc, then it might be time to switch out again
Right but this whole thread has been about multi threaded performance compared to E5v3s
The same $1000 gets you a one epyc cpu that is slower in both single and multithread. the only plus for epyc at this point is ECC and ability to put in more than 128gb ram and the ability to have 2 cpu. but pricewise epyc is a bad bargain compared to TR for performance per $Right but this whole thread has been about multi threaded performance compared to E5v3s
So if multi thread is the end game than why not just wait for EPYC availability instead of doing a whole TR build?
