AMD X399 ！！！！！

[scannall]

Oh man. I had planned on doing a Ryzen build this summer. I'm not the 'early adopter' guy anymore. But maybe an X399 would be better... My wallet is already going into panic mode, I can feel it.

At Computex 2017, Noctua has showcased several new EPYC/Threadripper ready TR4/SP3 ready CPU cooler designs, proving that both new CPU sockets feature the same cooler mounting mechanisms. The prototype coolers shown at Computex are based on the NH-U14S, the NH-U12S and the NH-U9.

I can't wait for Workstation boards to come out. IPMI + 2 16x slots with at least 2 4x PCI-e and 2 1x PCI-e slots that *aren't* covered by the 16x slots would be about perfect to me.

No matter where you stand on this I see real choices now for a replacement to my 4790k system.

When linking images from videocardz, if you want them to show up, you should remove the s in the https.

I'm hoping to see a few 10GbE choices. Bonus pts for on-boarding it, but if you need to create a card for it, you should probably put a tb3 or two on it while you're at it.
Plentiful m.2 seems another route to take.
Not sure what I would do with 12 SATA even if it were to be offered! That'd be a lot of spinning rust....

In this quest for speed there's no reason why a high end board shouldn't have at least 3 m.2 slots that don't impact the other usable slots on the board.

Haven't read the thread, but according to Linus these mobos are likely to be $500 US.

That's only the flagship motherboard though.

Hardly, if that is true, Intel HEDT would be as expensive too....

Yep. I mean, just look at that socket! Mother of god.... At $500, I don't see why you would even bother mucking about with 1gbe ports, but what do I know.

I think a bunch of m.2 slots would be a good idea, aside from the issue of where to put them

Hardly, if that is true, Intel HEDT would be as expensive too....

The LGA makes for a cheaper chip and a more expensive motherboard, iiuc. The other thing to keep in mind is that Intel is also pitching a 6-core "he"dt part, so you need a few cheap alternatives to those who desperately want 6 Intel cores and won't wait six months for CL.

What are the chances this board with 4x Vega x16 and some recent game with multi gpu vulkan/dx12 support could run 8K?
Also with 3200 MT/s Quad channel should reach >96 GB/s in Memory BW, pretty insane.
Or have 16 cores 4 GPUs with PCIe ACS 4 VMs, each VM one CCX + 1 x16 GPUs
many possibilities.

New APIs + 16 Cores + 4x x16 xfire makes me very curious, maybe AoTS benchmarks ?

Another idea, one boot drive + 4x x16 Vega SSGs
I don't know how it would work, but you can have all your storage in the GPU
interesting .. probably interesting for the Hollywood guys with unlimited budget
what happens if you xfire the SSGs , 4x x16 RAID xfire 0 OMG ... I dont know, but hmmmm never though about such things.

Yeah, looks like a lot of ways to completely wreck your budget and your marriage with that. ;-)

Not always is true... The LGA is to make it cheaper, but if is badly executed it will make it even more expensive than PGA....

And remember that Intel still makes the chips more expensive than AMD .. I feel that the lower tier of their HEDT is to make a filler before Canonlake.

These new mb's make me all giddy inside.

AMD LIVE ABOUT TO SHOW THREADRIPPER

 

[richierich1212]

Looks like their Blender demo completed that task in around 13 seconds. Can anyone do a comparison?

Original demo:
Ryzen @ 3.4 Ghz (No Turbo) : 36 Seconds - Samples 150, v2.78a

A retail Ryzen at 3.8GHz OC is around 25s IIRC.

Without version of the benchmark and confirmation of settings used I can't do a direct comparison (later versions improved performance).

 

[T1beriu]

The Ryzen 7 demo at 3.4Ghz (no turbo) did 25/36 seconds for 100/150 samples.

Source and how to test yourselves.

If that 16 core monster comes in anywhere near $1,000, its going to create chaos. Total chaos.
