Record low price for Ryzen Threadripper 1920x at $599+12.30 Express Insured Shipping
2nd Gen Threadripper 2990WX is out with others to follow.
Next cheapest price is $959 on staticice.

Great for workstations/video editing machines, and multitasking and multipurpose machines.

Pair with this motherboard on sale for $299.

Will support 2nd gen threadripper with a Bios Flash, so you can upgrade when it becomes cheaper.

Make sure you get a CPU Cooler that supports Threadripper with a large baseplate such as this one:

      different kind of workloads, you should not be looking at these kinds of cpu's if you are just a gamer. These are for virtualization, 3d rendering, video encoding, any task that can be broken down into tiny pieces.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2018 - 13:19

        precisely. also, 32 core one is for even more specific tasks too, because of slower access to RAM: in certain workloads it loses to the 16 core.

        • Kangal on 15/08/2018 - 13:41

          Might be a good solution to creating your own Server/Cloud system at home. Though even that's probably overkill for most people.

          Although they have a "Dark Internet" there in the States, so the people managing those nodes would find these to be golden.

        Video encoding

        Better value in the 2950X as seen in the benchmarks, it hits the sweet spot in cores to clock speed. 2950X is 16 cores whilst the slower 2990WX has the 32.

      CAD application aren't optimized for multi-threading (some workloads must run sequential) so having a large number slower cores won't provide you additional performance.

      I suggest going for the fastest mainstream desktop CPU (i7 8086k, 8700k, etc.). Lower number of cores but operating at a much faster frequency.

          I built a few of these workstations for the guys at the office(and one for myself), the anti-aliasing on the new gen Quadro cards are amazing, maintains a decent FPS with transparency and shadows turned on.. Handles 5000 part assemblies on NX like a dream.

        • xuqi on 17/08/2018 - 13:25

          @knackers:

          Agree, for productivity / CAD users the 5GB P2000 offers a sweet spot of performance vs price in the current Quadro range.

    • Nikorasu on 15/08/2018 - 21:10

      For general CAD, the graphics card, RAM speed and CPU clock speed is what makes most of the difference.
      If you have anything to do with CFD or FEA (depending on which solver you use) multiple cores will make a hell of a lot of difference.

  • MHLoppy on 15/08/2018 - 13:48

    Just want to point out that because the clock speed is lower + no XFR2, the performance on a lot of multithreaded tasks is not as much higher compared to 2700(X) as you might expect, so value-wise that might be a better buy if you're looking at this price bracket. TR mobos and cooling are also generally more expensive. https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2125?vs=2126

    A few tasks will scale slightly better than those in the link, but not many.

    For visual studio and making apps in Xamarin, plus running emulators for phones etc, would this be better over a second Gen 2700x or 8700k? Or not so much

    • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2018 - 17:15

      2700x is ~6% behind according to benchmarks, but has better single threaded for gaming and is $200 (34%) cheaper. Then add in the cheaper motherboard for AM4.

    • robertm on 15/08/2018 - 21:32

      For those sort of tasks an 8700K overclocked to 5GHz is the way to go I think.

      • Agret on 14/09/2018 - 01:51

        I wouldn't recommend overclocking a CPU if you are doing development work, you don't want any glitches during code compilation on a large project

    Very very tempting to revamp my homeserver from the piece of garbage 8150 in it..

    • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2018 - 17:18
      +2

      For a server you probably want a lower power 2700/1700 (65w instead of 180) so you don't need to sell your house to pay power bill… Literally doubles an 8150 with half the power consumption.

      • deelaroo on 16/08/2018 - 10:53

        Solar and I have a small battery setup that charges just for the server stuff.

        I have like 3 4 Bay NAS as well as Server with 8 drives, so this CPU not gonna be the thing that tips it over :). Plus 8150 like 100W + I think already?

        • [Deactivated] on 16/08/2018 - 12:53
          +1

          You won't tip anything over, just more heat, power usage and noise. That's before you consider the $150+ higher cost for a motherboard and $200 higher cost for the CPU.

    Looks like Scorptec has beaten this offer - $589 + free pick up.

    • sane on 26/08/2018 - 14:06

      AMD have bought the clearance prices on these down as low as US$249, or AU$341+10%= $375 - only for them to sell out.

      So don't be surprised if there are better priced to be had, eventually. You would have to be fast though.

      Best reason for them is that although the motherboard is more expensive, when zen2 gets here you'll be able to put a 32-64 core chip in place of this paltry 12 core.

  • Cave Fire on 15/08/2018 - 16:18

    Hmm, I bought a 1700x + new parts, three months later, the 2nd gen ryzens came out. The 1700x price was about 30% less after five months total. As the site is not mainstream, may be more price movement as bigger suppliers drop prices.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2018 - 16:59

    Better off with 2700x… Similar processing power at 105w TDP with 8 cores, all for $200 cheaper, not including cheaper MB prices.

    Even 2700 would keep up okay at 65w and $270 cheaper.

    CPUBenchmark

    CPU (multi/single/scoreper$) (-score) (-price)
    2700x: 16,882 / 2,190 / 42.3 (-6%) (-34%)
    2700: 15,087 / 2,013 / 44.5 (-16%) (-45%)
    1920x: 18,005 / 1,980 / 30

    Note these numbers don't even consider the cheaper MB..

    • Cyphar on 15/08/2018 - 18:26

      Apples and Oranges. You wouldn't use this for gaming. These outperform the 2700x in MC support such as Virtualization or rendering. When gaming, which is still dependent on one core, the Threadripper series is weaker.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2018 - 18:40

        I included multi threaded results which was the main point in my post… The single threaded performance is more of an added bonus. My point is on multithreaded loads the 2700x is only 6% behind, despite being 34% cheaper.

        If your use case requires purely just more cores (ie allocating physical cores to virtual machines) then maybe? But then there's the issue of the higher TDP anyway - server usage isn't overly cost effective due to this to the 180W power draw.

          @xuqi: That's likely only just for the announcement. For all we know it could be next year before they are acceptable prices and availability.

        • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 16/08/2018 - 12:45

          @AreYouAWiiizard:

          1080 were released and available almost immediately after announcement. Noted they were "Founders" edition with a $100+ price bump. Unfortunately we have to deal with import and GST implications now when ordering from Amazon USA and Newegg :(

  • sane on 16/08/2018 - 08:25

    It's a good price, but it's also worth bearing in mind that the 7nm Zen2 chips are due next year sometime. That v.likely means 12-16 cores in a Ryzen chip that will slip into existing motherboards, for a lower price. TR4 will obviously offer a route to 32/64 cores, but if you don't need that power then an 8 core now and an upgrade to 12/16 next year might be more cost effective.

    • OWKnowitall1 on 16/08/2018 - 21:16

      Dont think 7nm equivalent will be out till this time next year?

      • sane on 16/08/2018 - 21:34

        Seems up in the air. They are talking about the Epyc versions in early 2019, and my guess given the commonality of the dies is that that is because they are not sure when yield is going to get there to release 7nm Ryzen.

        Assuming things go well I'd expect them to hit that point in Q3-Q4 2019, but given they have given no specific dates yet, they could delay if things go wrong.

        Of course, Intel are supposed to finally hit 10nm (there 7nm) in the same type of timeframe, so they could be taking the opportunity to stick the boot in.

  • Oofy Doofy on 16/08/2018 - 10:17

    Does every Ryzen CPU have configurable TDP? I know Ryzen APU's can be configured to chug along at 25W TDP for everyday use (the lowest selection available in UEFI/BIOS).

    Has Adobe changed or going to optimise their softwares to utilize all these cores?
