Yea, but note to people who don't read through the article or don't know this already, the EPYC chips are on a separate LGA socket and will not be on the AM4 socket.

Yeah I should probably just change the thread to AMD CPU Discussion Thread since they're actually relevant again.

Edit: Done.

Gonna start a GoFundMe so I can upgrade to Ryzen 5 1600X.

 

[Intel_man]

Heh, you can probably skip another 2 generations before upgrading.

 

[Origin Saint]

What I'm hearing is you want to fund a GTX 1080Ti.

Yeah, a fire made of the wasted money I spent on Intels "new" shite.

"Ryzen" sounded a bit weird to me, but "Epyc" and "Threadripper" sound silly to me
