Ryzen vs i7 (Mainstream); Threadripper vs i9 (HEDT); X299 vs X399; Xeon vs Epyc

The Threadripper 3950x leak; https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/search?utf8=✓&q=amd+sharkstooth

Nearest Intel the 28 core w-3175x ($2999); https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/14240037

 

i wonder what the TR naming scheme will be, since 3950x will already be taken by the 16 core mainstream chip coming this sept

Probably, if there is a 16-core, something like a 3955X or similar, then 24-core is 3960X, 32-core as 3970X, 48-core (if they make one) as 3980WX, and 64-core is the new 3990WX would be my prediction.

 

no point if the 16 cores can only hit like 4.2 - 4.3ghz at absurd voltage like 1.4v.

more interested in seeing how new TR silicon will bin, everything else now is secondary.

 

Except silicon lottery binning on the 3900X and 3800X show the top bins do that at the 1.2V-1.3V range. So if these are binned better than mainstream, should be looking at 50-150MHz, as TR also spreads the heat over a much larger surface area.

 

Silicon Lottery Reveals AMD Ryzen 3000 Binning Stats
by Zhiye Liu August 14, 2019

Starting with the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, Silicon Lottery's data show that only 6% of its samples were able to hit 4.20 GHz on all 12 cores with a voltage of 1.250V. Needless to say, this is a pretty disappointing figure for performance seekers who love overclocking their processors for extra performance. On the bright side, 35% of the tested Ryzen 9 3900X chips could do 4.15 GHz on 1.237V.

Everyone knows you can not get much from overclocking Ryzen 7nm. As far though as performance seekers, well Ryzen is the ticket.

 

You'll need 3900X

 

< Waiting for 32 core TR3 here .

 

If that 32 core does anywhere near 4.4 all cores, then Intel's OC Xeon is dead, along with with equivalent priced 16 and 18 core Intel extreme CPUs.
