over 5000 to build this..
AMD will have similar or better performance for around 2500 in June I'll wait...

1800$ for a motherboard... and my limit is 200$... well, too bad... /sarcasm

I really don't get it why you'd buy this. The reviews showed it barely faster than the 32 core epic. Tiny differences. And you can buy the 32 core Threadripper chip for the same cost as just the motherboard here...

Intel really need to get its act together! They got forced to place an xeon in hedt just to stay performance competitive... and vs an platform that's 1/2 cost no less! This desperate scream will by the looks of it get steamrolled when the new TRs will be released soon.

It would be mighty stupid to get this now to put it mildly when the new TR's are around the bend.

Omg. That motherboard alone is the cost of my freaking machine, smh.

Provantage has this Xeon priced at $4.98. I doubt they will fulfill the one I ordered

That CPU cold plate looks so janky. The whole platform with the multi power in pins, and the VRM cooling solution makes the whole thing look like they are trying to hard.

 

[jwald123]

Why didn’t they just make this $3175 while they were at it

Oh, it's totally overkill, but there are some people for whom $3k + another $1.8 for the motherboard actually isn't a ton of money. (I'm not one of them.) For those people, why not get the ABSOLUTE fastest on the market today if that's what's important?

You can get a perfectly decent car for like $20k new, a pretty good car for $30-$40k, and a faster, luxury car for say, $50-80k, but there's people who spend $500k+ (and sometimes well over $1m) on supercars, even if, when push comes to shove, they're only somewhat faster, and you very seldom push them to their max anyways.

 

[Giroro]

These parts became available directly to customers a lot faster than I expected.
I guess there must not be much/any interest from OEMs

 

[gggplaya]

Just wait for 32 core threadripper based on zen 2 architecture. This thing will be irrelevant in less than 6 months.

 

[mikewinddale]

Yeah, no. I'll just buy a $400 ThreadRipper TR4 motherboard.
