    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.

    Intel's ridiculous price increases:

    The PCI-E lanes on the 7800X should read 28, not 29. Typo.

    Re: AMD Threadripper

    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.

    Are there any BOINC apps that use this so far? I am wondering how long until avx-512 becomes an advantage WRT BOINC.

    Good question, because it took a while for AVX to be used. And even now, only a handful of projects use it, and only AVX 2 works that good...I think my 3930K rigs (w/ AVX 1), AVX might be just a small percentage faster than comparable SSE3 work units.

    PrimeGrid will use it. Prime95 is already implementing AVX512 instructions to the client which will then be exported to LLR.

    Can 2 of those be run together or do you have to move to a different (server) version?

    Threadripper appears to only be single CPU. Epyc is their Zen dual CPU architecture. It would make Dirk's day if you were to ask him about that
