I'm thinking of buying a system with a new threadripper pro 5995WX.
This is the spec I'm looking at:
Case
FRACTAL DEFINE 7 XL BLACK QUIET TOWER CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX 64 Core CPU ( 4.5GHz, 288MB CACHE)
Motherboard
ASUS® Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI (Intel dual 10 G LAN, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, SLI)
Memory (RAM)
128GB Kingston DDR4 3200MHz ECC Registered (8 x 16GB)
Graphics Card
12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 - HDMI, DP, LHR
1st Storage Drive
8TB SEAGATE IRONWOLF PRO 3.5", 7200 RPM 256MB CACHE
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 7000MB/R, 5000MB/W)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W HX SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® PLATINUM, ULTRA QUIET
Is anyone else doing the same or holding off to see what the performance is like on the 7950x?
Based on this review, I'm looking at around a 4 fold increase on the 5yr old Threadripper 1950x I'm currently using.
