I'm sorry sir but your Vegas Pro and Powerpoint licenses have been revoked and your going to need to come with me.


One of the 1950Xs seems to be running at 4.2Ghz, so it seems newer B1s have a higher clock ceiling. Might bode well for B2 after all. Also it loses to the one clocked at 3.4Ghz which I can only assume is running much faster ram so even the #1 spot isn't the best Threadripper can do :kheldragar:

I'm surprised they labeled the bars. Outs it as a sham graph pretty easily. I work with data on a daily basis and laypeople's eyes glaze over when they're asked to interpret an X or Y axis.

So what you're saying is we need to make graphs in the third dimension, because people only concentrate on the Z axis...

its a good test idea but if you are playing a game on your low end CPU with a youtube video and a twitch video playing in the background, plus a bunch of tabs auto refreshing, you might be a complete dumbass

discord+spotify+a few static tabs is probably pretty normal though

The R5 1600 exists for almost this exact use case. If doing all these things is important to you please invest the extra $90.

AMD have managed to reproduce the Ryzen segfault bug, and confirmed that it doesn't affect Threadripper or Epyc.

They don't have a fix for Ryzen yet though.

Supposedly it affects only certain Ryzen processors and more recent ones are unaffected. Don't think there's a big database of affected/microcode/production date to confirm though.

Do we know which of the four dies are dummies and which aren't? I'm thinking what I'll do is put a long rice grain over the two active dies and screw the other two if they are purely structural.

But the whole IHS will still heat up so you're constraining a part of its ability to dissipate heat? :confused:
