What CPU do you have?

What if they came out with a 2950X processor, thats always something AMD could do make a new version of the Threadripper

 

Exactly what I am waiting on, leaked documents have it down for summer launch

 

Oh right so what would you expect it to be about a 20 core 40 Thread beast with a 300W TDP?

 

if rest of range anything to go by, same core count as before, similar tdp, maybe higher clock speed

 

so maybe a 4Ghz clock and turbo maybe 4.8Ghz and I would say if that was the case I would say at minimum a 200W TDP because of the increase in performance if the base gets a boost the Turbo should get a boost too....

 

I suppose a major contributing reason there are so few extreme chips on this forum is the age distribution tending towards younger people. Definitely going to be unobtainable for most of the forum. Not that adults can always afford such things either, more often than not they can't. But the age base certainly slims out the pool of people that could even consider it.

I have decent disposable income. I'm still looking to stagger the purchase. The thing takes huge cooling, hence why I am now on a water loop, for which more parts arrived to expand today and may expand further in future. Probably going to buy boot drive, ram and a water block in advance. Upgrading case and power supply prematurely

 

I'm looking to upgrade to that eventually. (maybe)

 

i7-7700k - Full specs in my signature.

 

it is not the best, but it does what i want it to do. It is also relatively fast. I would also strongly advise upgrading your gt1030 to an rx 460. too

 

At least my GT 1030 does it's job OK.

 

You guys are crazy. *then looks at his own sig and shakes his head*

 

I insist you get a Ryzen 2200G or 2400 instead. Better CPU even though only 4c/4t (8t in 2400G) and an iGPU that can rival the GT 1030. The money saved on not getting a discrete GPU can be put toward a new AM4 motherboard.

Speaking of upgrades, I've got one coming this Saturday. I'ts an AMD FX 8300 (3.3 GHz 8-Core)
[YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

 

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but... you'll be in for a disappointment if you think that's a fast CPU. Its also not truly 8-cores as each core shares components. It's more like a weak quad-core.

Your old Phenom II might outperform it in certain loads.

 

AMD Threadripper 1950x

 

Ryzen 1600 stock with 2933MHz Ram
EDIT: Now oc'd to 3.8 GHz

 

i5-7600k OCed to 5GHz

 

It has 8 full pipelines and logic units, it is therefore an octacore. It shares peripheral elements that cripple it but do not remotely make it a weak quad core.

It's shit. But it's not that shit.
