I have a feeling these were meant for Apple initially a year ago. Apple has in the past snatched up new thunderbolt, xeon, and other intel stuff 6 months before it was available to everyone else. Exclusive deals and stuff.
It would have been great. The new Mac pro could have destroyed anything anyone else could have even attempted to compare it to. Even a hackintosh with infinite budget would not have come close. However it must have taken apple a very long time to design their current rig. Maybe threadripper wrx wasn't available yet? We may never know. Only thing to me that hints at this is no other partner has access to this currently. Unique chipset and cpu lineup etc. Oh well..

Hi Steve , Just because i'm curious. I would like to see what the threadripper cpus are drawing from the wall under full load compared to the Zen mainstream cpus. Seems to me that's still kind of unknown for many people that only think more cores is better, but do not take the energy cost in consideration. I have the 3900X and are very happy with it and think the energy cost are OK! i'm around 350-380 watts depending on the application ,and 225 watts while idle

G do you think AMD might be doing what Apple did with the new Mac Pro where they
deliberately discouraged consumers and pro-sumers by making it way too expensive and only
meant for professionals? Do you think AMD will hike up the price of the PRO series just
to discourage home desktop users from buying it and market it exclusively to the professionals
like server centers and research labs?

Man I wish an OCable platform supported LR-DIMMs. Would be great for my dumbass use case of having one massively powerful server to run everything from a music bot to website, deep learning box, Minecraft server, git remote, build server, jupyterhub, etc. etc. That RAM can come in handy, especially when trying to keep game server alive and compiling big projects, or training/testing big models

Disappointed that AMD still won't release a 16 core Threadripper 3000 cpu and the one they release now is OEM only. Who knows, maybe boards and cpus for this platform will become available at some point, as AMD said that whether it releases this platform to the public is up to community response (according to Anandtech article on this launch).

i feel it's kinda strange that EPYC already has single socket P series CPUs but AMD still released Threadripper Pro, i don't really think the threadripper name is appropriate since it can't overclock and the EPYC name also seems inappropriate due to limitations of only 2TB of Ram, so it's kinda strange imo

Been watching the store for screwdriver sets, love to get one. When are they coming back?
I would get one as is.
I know its geared towards GPU teardowns, but if it included some robertson or square that be cool. Could use them around the house.
Ever consider a larger set?

Can I send a Super Chat in a video? Want to get Your Attention to say, what CPU is this?????
LOL! Much Love to the GN Team, most especially Ocular Moses! (It will catch on Eventually, I will make sure of it!!!)

It seems AMD went a bit cheap on the comparison vs Intel chips, not using a same-generation Intel chip against their sWRX8 chips. For generational relevancy they should have used chips like the 9282.

The real question is, isn't this going to obsolete the P line (single socket) of Epyc CPUs? The have every feature Epyc has as well as higher clocks and more importantly lower price...
