Giddy! At this rate I will be running a 64 Core processor on my desktop in 2 years!

64 cores but 128 with simultaneous multithreading. And in a 2C configuration, you get 256 threads. That is a beautiful thing.

Well depending on if the rumors about the 64 core Threadripper are true you could do that later this year or maybe early next year

The real question for me with all these AMD releases, what's Intel gonna release? It's surprising to me that Apple didn't announce an AMD based Mac Pro-- the chip Intel gave them must really be something. Too bad though because there could be a lot more of them (eventual Mac Pros) out there I'm guessing if they were using these Rome chips.

There's already a 64-core Threadripper rumored for the end of this year.

Top-tier Ryzen 9 should reach "only" 32 cores on the 5nm process in 2 years.

Looks like this is an account that only posts links to this obscure Indian tech blog.

It's probably not just the chip, Intel provides financial incentives for manufacturers who build products around their chips.
