Ryzen 3000

32 core engineering sample Threadripper has been found. It scored 35% faster than 2990WX in a multithread benchmark. It's all that exists so far so not very reliable.

Seems there will be 2 TR lines this time around. One with quad-channel RAM (TRX4) and one with Octa-channel (WRX8). Most likely the octa-channels won't work on the quad-channel motherboards so expect a new platform, though it is possible to pull it off. Intel has done it, but what a f-ing mess that turned out to be.

The quad-channels will be overclockable while the octa's will not.

Love that we've been seeing so much competition. Hope AMD truly sticks it to Intel - it's high time those prices came down. And talk about confusion with Intel's newest processor names. Hard to tell which generation is what e.g. Coffee lake, comit lake, whiskey lake. Having to upgrade my Motherboard every generation with Intel is just one more reason.

Is there an ETA for the threadripper?

I don't think there's an ETA yet. Everything now is just rumors and speculations. But since 7th of September had already passed, my guess is November 7th. Holidays shopping season.
October 7th if they're in need to clearing the old stuffs. Price cuts on older gens for Black Friday. My gut is telling me it's more like November. Because Asians doesn't like number 10. Bad luck.

All I've heard for an ETA is Q4, but that was 3-4 months ago and haven't heard anything since. But I also haven't heard anything different.

Wow...snarky much?

I have to save those pennies for the in law house we're building.

You need to figure out a way to make it section 8, rent it to the in-laws and uncle Sam helps pay the bill
