A cool 5000$ US for the top sku…who on gaf is going to be the king of the master race???

[Pedro Motta]

I have a couple of threadripper pro 5995wx, and another couple of 5975wx, I'll be looking for some new machines with these.

Finally a CPU worthy of my 4090

This is bad timing, just finished paying off a credit card.

I call that perfect timing

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

That TDP, holy shit... I'm done with power hungry hardware and If I ever get back into PC gaming I'll probably snag one of those power efficient mini PCs.

 

[GymWolf]

4080…pfff

As a 4080 owner...

Spoiler

 

[Mister Wolf]

The CPU is important, but not that important. Especially with the introduction of Frame Generation which is allowing us to overcome potential raytracing induced CPU bottlenecks.

This is not a gaming CPU. More like a “prosumer”/workstation CPU that would also be good at gaming but would not make sense to buy just for that purpose.

 

[Kilau]

Awesome, I can get 32FPS in Cities II.

I understand, but this is posted in the 'gaming' forum so I'll be talking from a gaming perspective. In any case, the same principle applies to other power hungry CPUs like the 13900K, 14900K, etc.

What do you mean? People use PCs for more than just gaming?

Actually my wife renders a lot of baseball videos for me on her rig as I still train several kids on pitching mechanics

“check out the new Ford F-350”

“OMG that guzzles way too much gas, it’s ridiculous how inefficient some vehicles are nowadays. I’m going to get a Prius to use as my commuter car”

“F-350 is built for pulling heavy loads over rough terrain, it’s not supposed to be a commuter car”

“Oh yeah well my statement also holds true for the Corvette”

It's not that serious mate... ffs
OP posted a topic on the gaming section. I engaged with it from a gaming perspective and then you engaged with that take. If you want that power guzzling CPU in your workstation go ahead by all means lol.

 

[Herr Edgy]

No need to want to be the king

 

[MikeM]

Aren’t they terrible for gaming tho? I saw a video online a while back with someone gaming on an older Threadripper and the core scaling was terrible.

Obviously not the use case, but don’t expect any real gains on the gaming side at least.

I have 0 RGB in my PC so by default I am a king.

Oh yeah, wouldn't recommend for gaming at all.

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Well guess I'm on the lookout for a Star Citizen/Squadron 42 + GPU + Threadripper bundle... just in time for my second PC upgrade for a game without a release date.

Now to spin this for a business expense. Yes tax office I am a power user of excel with lots of raytraced graphs.

 

[Crayon]

If it's tax write-off, sure.

 

[coffinbirth]

Hmmm.....

What is this from? It's missing the entry level 7000x sku and the last two, possibly three are wrong/mislabled.

$10000 for the top model

 

[Dream-Knife]

Only if you pair it with 2 H100s.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

might as well slap some slower ECC RAM in there too.

I can see someone slapping that bad boy in a rig with a RX 470 and be like....

+ 16gb ECC ram and a $1000 gamer chair

Masses of cores doesn't actually help for gaming. As anyone who "upgraded" from a 16 core 5950X to an 8 core 5800X3D can attest.

 

[KungFucius]

I have 0 RGB in my PC so by default I am a king.

Do you truly have this? I ask as someone who doesn't do RGB and has no glass window BS on his main case, but still the GPU and cooler have some default RGB. When RGB first started to be a thing and they were just adding single LED bulbs to fans, I used to cut them off.

RGB is like having a fucking carnival in your room. It is a distraction. It also adds unnecessary cabling, and while the power draw is small, it still wastes energy on something that is not remotely functional.
