Monday: Intel touts 28-core desktop CPU. Tuesday: AMD turns Threadripper up to 32

Re: where's the innovation?

Where is the innovation?? The innovation is Infinity Fabric. Innovation is the 12nm node. Innovation is in the design of the intelligent decoder and branch prediction. Innovation is in providing 128 PCIe lanes. Innovation is making it all affordable. not

There'sch innovation from Intel unfortunately given that they still use a monolithic design that ends up being unaffordable to the point that the 28 core demo you speak about was actually a scam using a Xeon platinum Skylake cooled with a $1000 Sub-Zero chiller.

A bit of intel on AMD's embedded Epyc and Ryzen processors

Dear Anonymous Coward, AMD is not afflicted with meltdown. But if you're trying to tell us that you're waiting for the next intel CPU not afflicted by meltdown, then you are posting in the wrong board, and it's about a year from now.

Re: Still waiting for my ThreadRipper

Well you'll be waiting forever because Microsoft will not support it for you. You should be on Windows 10, or better yet Linux. Get with the times.
