I thought $599 was cheap :(
Great for workstations/video editing machines, and multitasking and multipurpose machines.
1st gen mobos will support 2nd gen threadripper with a Bios Flash, so you can upgrade when it becomes cheaper.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12 Core 4.0GHz CPU 180W $499 + $9.98 Delivery (RRP $599) @ MSY (2 Hour Sale)

Gaming relies more on up to 4 core count and high clockspeed but I overclocked my 1920x to 4GHZ so its decent. 8700k shortage means they are currently $500+ so cost more than this. But if all you going to do is gaming, I suggest 8700k
Or a Ryzen for that matter. NUMA isn't good for gaming.
DX12 has much better support for multi-threaded CPUs with easier implementation, so today not really, but going forward, multicore performance will matter more and more.
There's also GPU implementations that will improve CPU bottlenecks in the future as well.
Good enough. It gives a lower frame rate than an 8700k, but not so much as you'd actually notice the difference.

There's a good chance that the TR4 motherboards might well also support 7nm Zen 2 & Zen 3 when they come out. They might well go to 64 cores, if rumours are correct.
Cheers, just got the nuclear power plant installed and needed something to chug all the excess power I now have….
go solar….
I'm not doing my part in destroying the earth then though… I've gotta do my part.
any cheap x399 mobo's going atm?
When Amazon US was clearing their stock in a flash sale, this would have been about $385 with Prime. :(
but no longer accessible to us prisoners heh?
It was sold by Amazon, so it was probably available, but it was cleared within 2 hours.
The price I'm quoting is in AUD with GST added.
most amazon.us computer specials are NOT AVAILABLE ON Global store from amazon.au so no-one posts them anymore….
@petry: Has to be sold by Amazon.
@jasswolf: even if amazon.us are selling them they are not available on the global amazon store at that price, because the global store sets it own price.
what we used to be able to buy from amazon.us no longer ships to oz. We live like convicts again behind bars courtesy of a government paid for by foreign interests, and I don't mean china.
@petry: The discrepancy is 1-2% from from the US price + 10% GST.
Generally how it works is if Amazon AU doesn't carry the item and Amazon.com does, it's provided on the global store. I'm pretty confident that TR deal would have been available to us, so do keep an eye out on US bargain sites to see if one slips through to us!
@jasswolf: ok your're trolling - amazon us deals are routinely not on the global store.
when you find one that's a real deal today you post it here and prove it, cause till then you're trolling.
@petry: I'm talking about price drops on general items, which is what the 1920x pricing was. They were clearing stock, it wasn't a 'deal of the day.'
That being said, we've actually had prime day deals passed on.
@jasswolf: post em and until then stop talking trash please
@petry: How can I post old pricings of items which have had their price go back up or sold out…
I'm not here to track every deal on Amazon for you, I'm saying take the time to actually check if it carries to the Amazon US branding on the Australian website, because it often does.
@jasswolf: this is on amazon us today
EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ Gold 1000W, Semi Modular, ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Power Supply 210-GQ-1000-V1
$79.99 us
post us the Australian link for it…
@petry: You're almost reading what I've written backwards.
I'm not suggesting all fulfilled by Amazon products are listed here, but that key ones are to induce better pricing and product ranges. I'm fairly confident that the 1920x would have been amongst them (as every almost other Ryzen chip is, otherwise it's fulfilled by Amazon AU).
If an Amazon US product is listed, and experiences a price drop on the US site, we get the price drop here.
Here is long term example of a price drop: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01BMJ0Y76
Goes for $40 on the US store after originally being priced at $70, and the pricing is passed on here. Same product still sells at $99 locally.
All the best!
@jasswolf: crap
Of course this appears in my google news feed at 5:30, when I'm shopping for this exact cpu
and what do you know … no link just waiting for the deal to expire….
is this good for gaming?
