November 21 is when Threadripper officially launches! Wendell got his hands on some today though, so enjoy the review!!

When will the TR5 Motherboard reviews be coming??
Oh boi almost had a heart attack when I read the title, though I saw 7980XE xd the room heater.
o_o
Great review Wendell. The problem here is always budget.
I was worried about the state of the Earth there for a while, but now that Threadripper is back, I know all is well. 😃
I wont be buying threadripper anymore, pathetic people. I went to get my threadripper motherboard replaced and was told there was no replacement available and I would have to wait 2-3 months. What is wrong with these people? Atleast think about how hard it is for artists like me to make money. All this happened to me during the second year of threadripper launch, thats how horrible they are..
$5k 64-core is equivelant to like $625 for an 8-core which is not exactly a bargin. Then the motherboard and peripherals are also pretty steep. What happened to economies of scale? I should be able to build a 64-core machine for much less than 8*8-core machines. ecc registered memory is nice, so there is that.
10 years ago my entire 8-core tower was $600 including case, top shelf big name PSU RAM motherboard and SSD [a premium option at the time], and a good mid-range over clockable CPU. Good enough I'm still using it as a primary daily driver. I'm mainly looking for an upgrade because I no longer have a backup machine, and I have one particular task that could take a lot of processing (though I may just rent some compute time from AWS or similar for that task.)
Wendell was out here excitedly rifling through features of the new TR like it was XMAS morning and he just got his new Red Ryder BB gun! We love to see it.
AMD is KING!!!
Thank you for including the Xeon W.
1) Unfortunately, AMD haven't addressed – whatsoever – the rather massive Elephant in the room…that they royally shafted their entire non-pro/enthusiast HEDT userbase with that insane TRX40 'take the money and run' move. To publicly promise long term support for these expensive systems then laugh loudly as they immediately EOL TRX40 is about as braindead a move as you can get.
2) As for TR 7000, take a second to compare TRX40 vs TRX50 motherboards. Stunning….shocking, isn't it. TRX50 motherboards are severely cut down in IO and functionality compared to TRX40. The TRX40 Zenith II Extreme is a particular eye opener. No wonder MSI pulled out of TR.
No non-pro enthusiast, not even The Braindead, are going to invest in AMD's TR ever again. To repeat, AMD have no interest in compensating TRX40 owners.
I have use cases to run 5 different OS minimum while doing collection analysis between all of them. My 3970x is a beast but need a 7975WX for updated i/o

It makes sense that ANSYS would love a 64 core CPU, when you have to pay for each core you want to uses with there license system. The cheaper cores get and the more people get of the the more they can earn on license to there software🤣. They can probably også use this CPU in there cloud system.
Honestly it is silly to me that you have to pay to use your hardware in a given software, they should just focus on getting there solver as fast a possible and don't very about if you are using 4 or 1000 cores to selve the equations.
AMD is roflstomping Intel really hard with this new HEDT lineup. Both in performance and value are they not? I am not into this kind machines any more.
Thank you for this illuminating overview into AMD’s new Threadripper Pro offerings. They are truly impressive. What I am trying to figure out is which is better and more cost/power effective… A single Threadripper Pro server/workstation with say 64-96 cores and 512-1TB ram which would easily cost north of $10,000 and use between 1-2kw of power, or 5 separate Ryzen mini ATX servers, each with its own M2SSD and 32-64GB Ram, which draws around 100 watts of power (so roughly 500 watts for 5 servers), and each server costs around $1.2k each so $6k-ish all together, which is roughly half the cost of the single Thread ripper Pro server/workstation. My primary use case this server/or servers for hosting sample libraries for streaming into my DAW via Vienna Ensemble Pro. My main workstation would be a Mac Studio and the network would be 10Gbit/100Gbit mikrotek with either built in 10Gbit nics or 100Gbit Mellanox cards. I’d like to see a build, especially with software M2 raid as you mentioned in this video, because M2 raid HD speed is important for a sample library streaming server. Just from a practicality standpoint, it would be nice to run everything on a single machine like on a new Threadripper Pro, but it may not be economically viable or smart to do it that way.
For hardware RAID – I do understand that the separate RAID controller solution is dead, but having a CPU with built-in optimized RAID solution (that of course could be software and therefore tunable for the task at hand) would be interesting. With the number of cores going up I'd expect that cores could become more of a mixed bin with some cores more dedicated to certain task like I/O and some being more for math instead of every core being the same.
TRY RUNNING CRYSIS ON THE CPU!!!!!!
To some level I think that the game test with FPS frame rate isn't always cutting it as gaming experience. I'd like to see a test of how well a very loaded instance of Cities Skylines do on the CPU load. It's of course going to be harder to get it entirely easy to test, but in that game there are many things going on at the same time with a lot of simultaneous threads, especially with a lot of mods loaded.
Did anyone else think they accidentally clicked on a Paul's Hardware weekly tech news roundup with that intro? 🤔
When a product is so good that 5000$ dollars is a bargain, what a time to be alive!
Any insight into the timing of the PRO mobos dropping, in particular SuperMicro?
Imagine what the abit bp6 did for celeron now done for threadripper 😂
at first i thought the video was sped up but after a while it was clear it's just wendell's excitement. understandable.
Yes… this is the channel that needs to exist. Thank you!
Big fan of your takes on tech stuff. Thank You
TYPO in Chart.
24:27 – "Stock CPU Congifs", typo, should be Configs.
15:10 – Does that mean the Intel workstation platform was running at 1.21 killawasps?
10:10 : HOLY JESUS CHRIST! Gaming PLUS workload stuff in the background?!?!
Paul?
Great video on threadripper 7000
What a great channel.
When the intro music played, I had to check if I had clicked on what I intended to or somehow a Paul's Hardware news video.
Still using my Lenovo p620 with the 12-core 3945wx(I think) cpu and it’s enough but if I come across a 24 or 32 core 59xxwrx cpu for cheap, I may just do it. This thing is my proxmox server and it runs pretty must silently. Go AMD!
With Arch Linux being a rolling release, it should work great with such a CPU. I use RichARCH btw. With it I was able to get Arch Linux up and running simply and quickly.
web dev was the worst thing I've done, never again xD
