3900X i'll wait for benchmark definitely - the additional die may still have a performance impact in gaming a la threadripper

than maybe i will just get 3800x since i am guessing shouldn't be that interdie latency performance hit and 8 cores is still good enough for my work.

Transcoding BD hits the FPU pretty hard so... I may or may not be okay with 3700X/3800X

Still, depends on how yolo I want to be when the pre-order opens :crazy:

And once again, AMD is making the same mistake of creating products that overlap with its various market segments.

With the mainstream Ryzen going up to 12 or more cores, there's essentially no incentive for a HEDT builder to go with Threadripper unless he or she is targeting the extreme segment. Which means that AMD has no choice but to raise the minimum core count on future Threadrippers to at least16 cores with stock clock speeds of at least 3.5Ghz to 3.8GHz to avoid cannibalization from Ryzen.

The fact that both mainstream Ryzen and professional Threadripper accept ECC memory is another blunder. Who would go for Threadripper if they can get the same benefits from a Ryzen?

For better or for worse, Intel never allowed their mainstream, HEDT, professional workstation and server processors to overlap each other in features. The mainstream i3s to i7s never exceeded 8 cores, and the HEDT Extreme series never allowed ECC memory usage.
I think you forgot Intel did release 4 cores Kaby Lake-X 2 years ago...

I do feel that the 3800X may be one of the least desired chip in the stack considering that the 3700X is similar in specs and can potentially catch up with the 3800X with some overclocking. I feel most will either go for 3700X or jump straight to 3900X if they prefer the fastest chip.

I too think 3700x will be the hot seller. Must wait for independent reviews before pulling the trigger.

AMD is stepping up the game and giving great options. So many cores and great specs.

PCI 4.0 with 5Gb/s ssds option make my NVME 3Gb/s look outdated now and I just upgraded this year from normal sata SSD.

I think I'll go for the 3600X first and then down the road take the 16 core one if I feel the need.

Must really see prices liao

Threadripper is more than just the extra cores. 64 PCI-E lanes and quad-channel is a huge step up for content producers, especially with the PCI-E M.2 riser cards.

There is a clear differentiation between enthusiast/gaming chips and the TR HEDT systems, and if you think it's just core count then you're not someone who needs/knows HEDT

I'm using a 2990wx with 128GB of memory split to 80GB ramdisk 48GB system memory as a 24/7 automated code build system.

Don't need any stinking PCIe lanes when I can use RAM directly for storage and it's running headless with no GPUs.
