Apparently, it will offer 8 channel memory up to 2TB.
But the burning question is, will it have a boatload of PCIE-4 channels like the EPYC chips do?

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Its not really $18,000 is it?Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:06 pm Apparently, it will offer 8 channel memory up to 2TB.

Re: AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX
Wasn't Threadripper PRO only going to be sold inside ($18,000+) HP workstations?
Later this week Zen 3 is supposed to be announced. I don't know when the Zen-3 based Threadripper 4000-series will follow, but I do know I will wait and see.

I think that was a system and a fully loaded one at that.Leo wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:21 pmIts not really $18,000 is it?Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:06 pm Apparently, it will offer 8 channel memory up to 2TB.

I have looked at some Epyc configurations and 18,000 is very easy to rack up.
Just price out 2 TB of RAM, for instance.

I’ve been meaning to ask this for ages: for chess, I’m not sure the extra RAM channels will help much. CPU Clock speed is more important.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:06 pm Apparently, it will offer 8 channel memory up to 2TB.

In which case Threadripper >> Threadripper Pro >> EPYC.
(Assuming equal core counts).
Today I was musing over Milan coming up and I decided to compare two older processors: the 64 C Threadripper vs 2x 7542 EPYC. It was hard to chose EPYC if chess is the main application.

Re: AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX
That is why I asked about PCIE-4 channels. If you can have lot of those you can speed up your I/O and I know that helps a lot when you are hitting the tablebase file hard.
I also use the systems for other things. Database, in particular, drinks RAM with a slurp and a burp.

Octa-channel, 128 PCIe lanes, own sWRX8 socket, seems to come as OEM only.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:06 pm Apparently, it will offer 8 channel memory up to 2TB.

I am also keen for those memory-channels, but I guess for a custom-build machine with 2x GPU setup 64 PCIe lanes ought to be enough? Not sure how many lanes all the IO stuff of the mobo eats up.

Re: AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX
I am at my utter limit with my 3970x, and was thinking about Epyc for my next build (about a year and a half from now). This architecture is an interesting alternative.smatovic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:51 amOcta-channel, 128 PCIe lanes, own sWRX8 socket, seems to come as OEM only.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:06 pm Apparently, it will offer 8 channel memory up to 2TB.

The link above shows the 3995x is more powerful than the 3990x.
But maybe Ronald is right and you can't buy just the CPU.

Re: AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX
Why would AMD sell their flagship CPU to computer manufacturers but not directly to the public?
A complete guess, but I wonder whether it's easy to break in the hands on a non-expert?

Writing is the antidote to confusion.
It's not "how smart you are", it's "how are you smart".
Your brain doesn't work the way you want, so train it!
