That pricing is actually more reasonable than I was expecting. I might get myself a 32 core quad GPU workstation. Unthinkable even just a year ago.
Good god! Why on earth you need 32 core quad GPU workstation?

Cinema4D and Blender are both very CPU intensive as well as taxing on the GPU.

#14I'm very excited for AMD and their market successes lately. I never wanted a world controlled by Intel, and even if all my computers are Intel at the moment I feel the world benefits from this competition. That being said... Processor pre-orders? I had No idea that was a thing. Hope you get a QA discount. It doesn't talk about sockets but for sake of preorderers I hope it's compatible with original threadripper board…
AMD has already committed to using the same socket until 2020.

#18Ryzen is default choice now for me and my brother. This pushes even more people toward DEFAULT RED.

#20Bloody hell, this processor has more cores than the dual socket Xeon HPCs that my lab bought 2 years ago. Amazing. Honest question: Isn't the memory throughput an issue when you try to feed 32 hungry processors?
