It's a good thing the cache is 256 MB. With only 4 memory channels to serve
128 threads it's best to avoid main memory.

I wonder how Intel will respoond, they currently have nothing to compete with TR.

It is really pricey.  I may look into getting the lessor 3760x  at 1399 thats costly but it is not selling out.

I think  the entire line of 3rd gen are overpriced.  I will wait a bit before I build one.

I have 3x  ryzen 9 3900x builds  far less cost for all 3 combined when compared to a single  3990x build.

There's no competition from Intel up there. The 3900x and below have recently dropped in price.
3950 still too high.

whats the current earnings


the 3900 gear earns about 1 a day  the beast  3990x  should be 5

but  that means 300 x 24 = 7200 or 8 kwatts  say 1 in power so 5-1 = 4 a day  the build is at least 5k  so 1250 days to breakeven
