Is threadripper a meme

is threadripper a meme

who the fuck needs 16 cores

like who unironically says "I need 16 cores"

i need 16 cores

The same folks who need 16GB of RAM

people who are compiling anything

>is progress a meme
>who the fuck needs progress
>who unironically says "there's something wrong with getting fucked over by anti-consumer practices brought on be intel"
Nice try, shill.

Ryzen 1800x is already fast enough for compiling. It can compile gentoo in 28 seconds

I have a virtual machine bot army that can use it. How the fuck else would I feed my YouTube channel with fake views 24/7?

Yes I need technological advancement. Enjoy your single core pentium, faggot just get the fuck off my face no joke

There's no such thing as fast enough.

So chrome users?

What's with this "need" shit?
Do you need to be shitposting right now?
I bet you're one of those anti gunner fags asking why you ((((need)))) an ar15?
Go away kike

when you play dota inside a vm and run doom in the background so you could play it every time you die in dota. all that while streaming at twitch to 5 viewers.

>16GB-let

If you have to ask this questions you are not the maket for this.

Stick to Ryzen 5-7 which is nothing but excelent for the comercial market

Heh I can't afford threadripper. The 1700X I got is pretty handy, I can compile software, have plenty of firefox tab open AND play 4K porn all at the same time. Having now microsoft botnet running in the background also helps

It's not about the cores, I want those PCIe lanes.

FPUs are a meme. Who the fuck needs a FPU? Like who unironically says "I need a FPU"?

Servers. They don't say "I need 16 cores", they say "I need as many cores as I can get for the price"

I'll be needing to build a VM machine that can run 16+ Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs at a time, so yeah some of us need it.

Definitely a huge part of why a lot of people are interested in x399. On AM4 you only get one full speed m.2 slot, you pretty much get whatever the hell you want with threadripper.

I do.

12 cores? What do you need 8 cores for go... I mean guy?

You don't "need" 16 cores. You just benefit from having more for parallelizable algorithms.

>CentOS
>27d uptime
>32 core Xeon

Context is desktop, negro.

>need
i want 16 cores, 8 isn't really an improvement coming from 6

but i suspect kikeripper will sell more on its pcie lanes than cpu performance

16 core? what do you need 4 core for?

>buying babby ripper
I NEED 32 cores

AMD shills and share holders

16 cores is only the top end, there are going to be Threadrippers with fewer than that. I'm feeling a 12 core. With CPUs improving as slowly as they have been, I want to buy a mobo for longevity, and HEDT is the way to go for longevity.

>10 core i7 6950X
>$1700

>16 core Threadripper
>$850

This should be the standard answer to whenever someone calls tech that actually gives progress a meme.

Production people who aren't working on big movies. So, YouTubers, wedding photographers, small time bands, that are heavy on the post-processing, small businesses...

Ebyc

i encode my chinese cartoons bdmv.
kinda want 16 cores.

If you need to ask
>who the fuck needs 16 cores
Then I'm sure it's not for you anyway

>speed-let
>2400MHz
>not 3466MHz

I won't buy it, but I like that it's bringing the heat to Intel, competition is great for us consumers.

can we all at least agree that the name "threadripper" is the best name to come out of amd or intel in recent memory ?

other than ebyc

It sounds like a fart

i9 comes with 2 more cores than that. How OP blames it?

i laughed

>not shitposting from the best of the best

Its what you call a fat girl with thicc thighs who constantly does pic related to her jeans.

I'm a professional EVE Online player, so I need several virtual machines so that I can manage my extensive alpha pod mining fleet.

because op is pic related

Your not making me buy intel again with that pile of dung an d its housefire TDP nor thread ripper.

fuck off.
updating not in a really long time. enjoy wasting coin cucks.

>is Threadripper a meme?
>$849
>16 cores
>32 threads
>Intel equivalent is more than double the price, half the clock speed, lacks 20 pcie lanes, and can only offer two extra cores to justify the $1150 difference

No, if it's a meme it's the meme that destroys Intel

While you are not wrong, I looked at it this way, by the time anything I use seriously uses 8+ cores, ddr5 or its replacement will be out and the motherboards will no longer of use.

so while im learning shit, use the 8 core, and if I get good/feel the serious need for more, get 16 core then.

Fuck off with this "t." shit.

SHUT UP

lets not forget amds threadripper will be out shortly, intels 18 core many not be out this year if it ever makes it to market.

no our finnish friends from Sup Forums gave it to us as a gift u ungrateful fucker

t. stupid faggot

>corelets

I'd only have 8gb if I didn't break that number playing VIDYA GAYMES.

>Oy vey! You said 10 cores? What do you need 8 cores for? Buy the 6 core, goyim. Your games will run fine on 4 cores. Some of our cores are defective so you can buy a 3 core and save a few shekels. Now introducing the all new dual core CPUs! The Core Solo (TM) starts at only $9999.99 plus tax!

3 core cpus don't exist though

Yes they do. Google it.

>he doesn't know about the tri-cores.

The Wii U had one

BAD GOY WHY DO YOU NEED 16 CORES FOR

>GUYS LOOK WE ARE GONNA RELEASE AN 18 CORE, THAT'S TWO MORE THAN AMD!!!!!

16 cores will actually come really handy to brute force spicy trip codes

I don't need 16 cores but I certainly could make use of them.

>31.9
Nvidia please.

this
virtual PCs, x265/vp9/av1 encoding, serious multitasking, launching chrome with more than 3 tabs

I'm in a pickle.
>Have Sandy Bridge. Still performs well, but is starting to show age, especially in I/O.
>Want more than 4 cores
>8 seems right. 6 is weenie, only 2 more than 4. 10 is surely overkill.
>I keep PCs for ages (usually between 6-8 years)
>Having 40+ PCIE lanes would allow for I/O expansion in the future, without compromising bandwidth for GPU.
>Quad channel memory is nice touch, too.

Now, here's the problem:
>Intel 8 core won't come with full monty of PCIE lanes, plus TIM bullshit. 10 core is overkill, costs $1000, and STILL has TIM bullshit
>AMD 8 core is "mainstream", not HEDT, and thus only has 20PCIE lanes. 10 core is still overkill, and while soldered, probably won't be able to clock above 4ghz. 64 PCIE lanes is pretty cool, though.

What do?

wait for zen 2

I definitely do. I max out my 8 core almost every day.

If you just do facebook and gaming then you don't need it though.

jesus fuck I fell for this meme and only got 8Gb. Every fucking day I hit 95+% usage. Fuck. I'm upgrading soon.

I should know better than to listen to Sup Forums

Wait a month or two for AMD's 12 core

What's the timeline on that? Has Zen 2 even been confirmed?

Do you use proxies or something? If all of the requests come from the same IP youtube shows the view counter increasing, but it definitely doesn't count it when considering rankings.

The RAM speed you see there (along with CPU speed) is not accurate if you use a bus speed other than stock.

>implying all cores are equal

god damn hippies

...

Ryzen has 32 PCI-E lanes. Some are used for connecting to the Chipset, so you have 24 usable lanes on the CPU itself. The chipsets add more, with X370 chipset offering an additional 24 usable lanes.
48 lanes in total.

>still no workstation MB that supports ryzen

I need 16 cores.

Pic related

Dear OP have you considered the possibility of not needing 16 cores right now but needing them in the future when there are applications to utilize such power?

its not a meme user. just look at that thicc package.

FUCK this cat

There's a way cheaper solution, you massive fag.
It's called closing Chrome while you're playing a game.

I mis remembered. Ryzen+370 give you 40 PCI-E 3.0 lanes, and an additional 8 PCI-E 2.0 lanes.
Still very full featured even compared to intel's HEDT platform.

AMD's Threadripper X399 is total overkill.

MOAR CORES

blini cat is love

MOAR THREADS

MORE RAM

MORE PCI LANES

MORE EFFICIENCY

MORE VALUE

MORE ERROR CORRECTING

MORE SOLDER

Reminder: The 64 PCIe lanes in Thread ripper are CPU only. X399 boards still have an external chipset, so the platform in total has even more lanes.
The CPU itself will have 60 usable lanes, and the chipset will add another 20+ Its a true beast of a platform.

MORE AMD

MOREAMADA

You probably exaggerate, also there is no such thing as gentoo. Do you mean @world
What is IPv6?
