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.

AMD is not pulling any punches with its new Ryzen Threadripper PRO series. Featuring 12-64 core processors, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO series apparently dwarfs competing Intel Xeon processors. AMD even claims that one Threadripper PRO 3995WX can outperform two Xeon Platinum 8280 processors in countless tasks.
