Intel is doing what is suppose to do when someone has monopoly. I agree with you though. We were hostage on one cpu supplier but with AMD coming back, although for math projects still poor performance, it will bring the best from Intel.Quote:

AMD's Threadripper CPUs have confirmed support for 64 PCI-e 3.0 lanes. This will be available on every Threadripper SKU, regardless of core count, clock speed or price. Intel's $2k CPU only supports 44.
SWEET!
Are there any BOINC apps that use this so far? I am wondering how long until avx-512 becomes an advantage WRT BOINC.Quote:

AMD Threadripper 1950x 16c/32t flagship price reduced to $880 https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Threadrip...er+1950x&psc=1
Can 2 of those be run together or do you have to move to a different (server) version?Quote:
