I think after Threadripper release the prices of 1800X will be set to 350-370$.

1700 should retail for 249-259$.
 
Epyc 24-core 1P "48GHz": $1075 (great Epyc deal)
Threadripper 16-core "54.4 GHz": $999

And TR is less split, but it has half the L3.

Now you see why it seems Supermicro and Tyan are thinking about bringing TR servers.

well you can use the non P epyc chips in 1S systems and they start about $400 good for a low cpu system that may need a lot pci-e say an PCI-E storage system.
 
All of the CPUs have the same security features. PRO line are brand just for OEM's.
 
Nice comparison of architectures, that shows clearly why Ryzen arch is on par with Haswell/Broadwell in performance.

Let's talk again when you can buy the top 8-core TR for $380.

But frustrating for software vendors, and damaging to AMD's market share.

We're developing products based on SGX, and we have to say "for Core 6 and later - no AMD CPUs supported".
SGX is Intel, Proprietary standard. Its like expecting CUDA availability for Intel. Ridiculous.
 
What is the packaging cost of AM4 ?

Does TR come with a cooler?

I see this in so many worlds, where something comes out and there becomes like a bandwagon. Where the birth of something makes everyone push or rave about the death or failure of another thing.

There used to be a time where people just accepted and appreciated the fact that they had options, now something new comes out and everyone screams "so and so is dead!!!" "Goodbye so and so!!!" Nobody is ever like "Hey this is nice here is another option to look at that might suit my needs".

We live in a weird time as consumers where when people buy a product they think everyone should buy that product and anyone who doesn't is stupid and left behind.

Nobody ever says "I brought what best suited my needs and budget".
 
It also seems to me there's a bandwagon of people who never cared about AMD and are now acting as fanboys.
 
I am thinking that the resale value of Kaby Lake-X is probably going to be terrible.
 
Resale has almost never been a concern for me. The only thing worth reselling is a video card and RAM. Mostly the RAM.
 
...and who cares?

PC owners seldom calculate resale value into the TCO equations. Since improvements come so often, you wouldn't expect to recover much of the original price when selling a three year old system.
Just saying. A Phenom II X6 cost like $300 when it came out in 2010 and you could sell it lately for like $100.
