So, if it's coming this fall, they're going to be selling a year old technology (Epyc Rome was released in August). It's essentially an Epyc clocked like a Threadripper. I guess I find it difficult to get excited about this as it was obvious they could do it if only they wanted to. Threadripper 2 was a big deal. How they got rid of the weird NUMA arrangement. That was a really nice surprise. And that's exactly why I think this is going to have a limited impact. You need to be memory or I/O bound. I wonder what are they going to do with all those PCIe lanes in a workstation. 6 GPUs in a tower? The timing is strange. By the time this goes to the market, we might have Zen 3 Epyc.

Skylake is 6 year old man.

Threadripper 3945WX with a base clock of 4.0 Ghz and boost clock of 4.2 Ghz...dang presentation or editing mistake?
