Review AMD Threadripper 3970X and 3960X Review: Taking Over The High End

There's a typo in this article, the 3950X only has 24 (PCIe 4.0) lanes. 16 after taking into account 4 for the chipset connection and another 4 that are typically reserved for an M.2 slot.

Yup, that's what I thought. Thanks TJ!

Yeah I have no reason to buy any Intel CPUs at the moment. I just upgraded one of my rigs from an i7-3820 to a Ryzen 2600 and have been very pleased with the result. At home I have two rigs - one is an i7-6700K and the other is a Ryzen 1700, and I almost prefer the Ryzen rig. At some point I'll probably upgrade that rig to a 3900X but that probably won't be until next year.

Next year you'll want the Ryzen 4000 series I heard it's coming out around summer or autumn.

Really? What's the source on that? I haven't heard anything other than rumors.

small error in pricing paragraph. the 3970x isn't 1199$.

No mistake, the chip is so fast it got ahead of the dollar sign

Ah, a measly 2k this time.
