The ten core with a boost at 4.5ghz is oh so nice (think 6950x just allot cheaper and allot faster) ....

But the pick of the bunch is the 7820x ... At 599usd ...

And the rampage board to put them in. :eek: Dat OLED sysinfo display...

What's with the random extra DIMM slot?
 
Who here has that 23k Extreme processor again? Time for an upgrade buddy.
 
I think its the same as the current apex board, an expansion card goes in there that allows you to add more M2 drives.
 
New parts, new system. Fun times with insane memory clocks. And I thought 4G 24/7 was nice hehehehe.
Some really nice CPUs coming out for X299. Intel has done a surprisingly good job with these. The IPC is improved in a way that I didn't think it'd be. Mind you, Quad Channel 4GHz is no joke.
In one week, every single OC record in every benchmark is gone. And as for Cinebench, hehehehe well it's firmly back in Team Blue's hands it seems.
However tomorrow is going to be awesome, let's see how AMD replies if they do at all.

Best Computex in a seriously long time.

Which ones are you playing with ??
 
Volta, new rampage 6 ... Then throw in the 18 core beasty ...

Desktop computing has reached new levels of insanity

The desktop PC has officially changed for the better, desktop server ftw. Btw any of these come with 10gb nics😂

Any links on computex articles with regards to your claims? I would like to see! [MENTION=64]Gouhan[/MENTION]

No no link, it helps if you're actually at the show though :)
I see someone's linked you.
My claims... heheheh :rolleyes:

Anyway yeah it's a really exciting time, even if we don't have any games to play with all this new power.

For those that care about ultimate performance and storage, X299 allows a really neat feature where you can Raid multiple drives directly from the CPU PCI-E root complex and get full speed to each drive.
With upcoming 950 SSD from Intel you can hit 9GBytes/s write speeds in RAID. Pretty Awesome. At present even Intel 750 SSD in RAID (4 drives) is 9GB/s read and about 4.2GB/s write.
Plenty of tuning features as well and by and large it'll be fun tinkering with the system in ways we couldn't before even with air cooling.
For the XOC guys, INTEL has literally killed the cold bug by and large, so full pot of LN2 and CPU sings along ;)
Really fun and awesome times ahead from everyone.

Now this just needs to hit the local market.. Been waiting patiently for the x299 to be revealed

Oh and throw in the new wide-screen swift from asus. With hdr ... Quantum dot stuff, 200hz. *Looks at my pg348q and cries*

From a month ago not having anything on my want list.... To now a whole bunch of stuff (def not gonna afford it all)

Okay so the i5 and i7 7740X are gimped to dual channel and 28 PCI e Lanes but they want you to pay 330USD and 380USD for basically a 7700 and 7600 without a iGPU to throw on what will be a vastly more expensive setup than a conventional 200 or 100 series board to not get any benefit or features....pay more for the same is sadly what this world has come to, anesthetized to common sense. Add 112W TPD's to the equation and they are even less attractive.



As for a i9, it occupies a market that only very rich people can afford, or players like Gouhan that have free access to them, no average joe here will ever really get to build a i9 setup so it is like that magic pony / unicorn. Further given it is more expensive than the already 30K 6900X makes it even less appealing and occupies even less market purpose given that bigger Xeons are cheaper and better for the intended purpose of MOAAAR CORES.


I also read that Intel are using TIM on all Xtreme parts, no solder which is really baffling given that solder is maybe what 10 dollars more. Intel already went public and asked people not to overclock their K parts because of heat issues. Who is making decisions for the boys in blue?

AMD may not have the development yet to outright beat intel on core for core but the fact that they release their entire X399 threadripper/epyc series with quad channel, 64 PCI e lanes top to bottom with the top well less than intels octo cores means more for less and that is a good deal, all that inside 140W TPD, its a good enough sacrifice

I agree... But on people buying the i9 extreme CPUs ... There are some mad people here with mad money . It will sell no doubt
 
Eish... Those prices. Would have loved a 10 or 12 core chip.

My current sig build is being migrated to my server.

HVEC x265 is destroying my 6800K, even overclocked.
 
Some of these motherboards are utterly disgusting... in a good way.
 
Sigh....
People need to chill. Speculation isn't necessary.
Here is what is true, Skylake-X is hellishly fast. Faster than I thought it would be, experience and all. If you compare thread count to thread count, it's no comparison really in performance. What Intel has done to OC capabilities is remarkable. I had no hope after what SP3r2 was doing even in development. I was sure that AMD had it but not anymore.
As for TDP, do not and I repeat do not make direct comparisons when both INTEL and AMD are not measuring the same thing. That's how you end up with so called 65W AMD Ryzen CPUs consuming more power than a 7700K system with a CPU rated at 90W+ TDP.
The relationship between clocks, operating voltage and temperature has everything to do with TDP.

Now for the solder issue. Do I wish INTEL used solder, of course. I completely want this, however that isn't important if all the CPUs reach the desired clock frequency. For instance the 4 core CPUs can all do 5GHz+ 24/7 no issue.
They can run 4266MHz memory 24/7 no issue.
So what are we comparing here?
AMD has an incredible platform on their hands, truly marvelous but it is not in the way that it is being compared against INTEL counterparts.
64 PCI-E lanes is great, but I have no idea what one would do with it really, in the same way 44 Lanes is really meaningless for the most part. What is pretty neat is being able to OC the PCI-E clock which gives a larger performance gain versus moving from x8 to x16 PCI-Lanes.
This kind of thing comes from stuff like this
An interesting observation here is that all three boards we've seen draw power from just a single 8-pin EPS connector besides 24-pin ATX, unlike several LGA2066 boards that over a second EPS or 4-pin ATX input for the CPU VRM. Could this mean that AMD also beat Intel with HEDT energy-efficiency?
Click to expand...
The boards and CPUs are out very soon, wait until then and then make the comparison. Hmmm Car A has a speedometer that goes to 290Kph vs Car B that only goes to 270kph. Could it be that Car B is faster? - Who here would not find this a ridiculous statement to make? Yet when it comes to AMD anything, it's this BS time and time again. If nobody was buying INTEL's previous 6950X at $1700USD, then it would figure they'd not make a $2,000 CPU yet here it is.
Anyway, I really like both platforms for different reasons and I think whatever you buy, you'll be far more than happy. Good times all around as we have options now :D

It's actually a DIMM.2 slot for an M.2 riser card like this:

Spot on. Only noticed it on the far right now. TX for correction

64 lanes serves a very valid purpose, the purpose for what the platform exists for. 4 full speed lanes for professional cards for graphics rendering, video, CGI etc. It is almost like AMD have targeted Zen and Vega towards professional and server systems and they just happen to game well enough to sate the OCD on frame rates.

My step brother is an electrical engineering student, good enough to have his education for free and I think he will very much disagree about the point that running over voltage specification even inside a window of tolerance is a good thing for any part, you have experience so you may not break things but for Intel to go public and tell people not to overclock suggests "real" issues with consumers. Running an overspec car engine breaks it faster, running higher voltages and amps even inside tolerance levels can potentially damage components, sometimes instantly other times over time, I think Creampie can tell you about failing VRM's due to permanent overclocks. Some just get luckier than others. I am old school if the CPU can't do what i want out the box then I must get a better one, I really don't have the time or inclination to sit and overclock just to get performance I expect, this is probably the same sentiment 80% of the market shares and certainly the graphics renderer that buys these parts from team red or blue.

TPD is true AMD is different to INTEL but a 1800X was around 110W over the 95W on the box, fair enough, the 65W is under 90W, at nominal loads the 1800X was more effiecient than similar Intel hex and octo cores only when overclocked to max did voltage leaks cause spikes in consumption. That was cleared by the Stilt who posted a link to a person with express knowledge on Samsung 14nm LPE and how its operational window was 2-3ghz, beyond that it started to fall off exponentially, I doubt AMD will stay long term on LPP node with rumours of IBM's higher performance node targeted after Pinnacle Ridge. IBM's node scales high.
