Well... Threadripper will be more or less two times faster than your dual E5-2650 config. And will consume less power. (And produce less heat, important thing if you are using air conditioning). Of course it won't be better in terms of perf/$ but you are comparing five years old used stuff with brand new. Perf/$ is one of the things AMD users bang on about endlessly, but you want to conveniently ignore that metric when it suits? On that basis if I go out and buy an i9-7980XE in November or whenever it's released you wont rush to remind me how expensive it was when it produces performance levels the dripper could only dream of? |

You have to decide if you want to compare "new vs old" or "new vs new".
Dual E5-2650 config is old and cheap, yes it has pretty good performance/$ but is much worse in terms of perf/W. i9-7980XE will be few times more expensive than Threadripper, and will consume more power. So it will suck at perf/$ (as every intel top CPU has) and will be at best comparable in terms of perf/W. You are cherry picking, not me. |

Too bad no one can release systems with it this year except Dell.

I started running my 1950x on WCG like last week. About 90-93min per Zika task in Win10. I installed Ubuntu last night and its running at 54-58min. Huge improvement.
----------------------------------------3.7GHz atm at XMP 3200 CL14. In Windows it had about the same run times as my 2p 2670v1s in Linux. Older, slower CPUs allowed to keep up due to the OS.  |

@mmonnin: Does this mean you also get more points on Linux? Or is it just faster but you also get less points?
