I am actually quite impressed with how big the thing is.
Also I think the name threadripper is really cool.
Still staying with Intel of course, I like to be cucked.

If its so good, how come apple uses intel and not this?
AMD btfo
>>61370081
In the next gen apple will use custom amd apus.
Ryzen needs to get the fuck in laptops already. Their perf/watt kicks the shit out of Intel's. Plus, look at that THINN package.
>>61370081
Apple want to make the ultimate throttlemac.
>>61370081
because AMD doesn't support thunderbolt
>>61370081
Thunderbolt. When the issues are ironed out with implementing it on Ryzen now that Intel has released the rights to it, Apple will switch to AMD.
>>61370081
>If its so good, how come apple uses intel and not this?
>Using what Apple uses and does not use as a metric of what we all should do
>>61370081
Because Apple take several years to change the CPU used on their shit.

FTFY.
>>61370081
They fucking used PowerPC until 2005 while it was BTFO by 2000
I can't believe that Apple didn't went to Threadripper with their new iMac Pro.
Even underclocked would still kick the ass with a Intel heather-formerly-know-as-processor.
>>61370156
delet that pic
>>61370248
Assbackwards.
Instead of AMD CPU they used Intel CPU
Instead of Nvidia GPU they used AMD GPU

>thunderbolt
I'm a bit skeptical of this
>contracts with Intel
Probably the biggest reason of this. Intel has grabbed Apple by the balls.
That or Tim Cook is the biggest moron in the earth
>AMD reputation as a "cheap and bad alternative" in the processor market could damage Apple brand
Probably this too. AMD still has a bit of bad rep.
Anyways I still can't understand why they didn't go with AMD in the iMac Pro. In Jobs era Apple considered seriously using Llano for the Macbook Air.
>>61370248
Macs need a custom kernel to run OS X on AMD. Doable, but they'd rather stay with Intel for now.
>>61370335
>custom kernel
That kernel only contains a simple patch to deal with encryption only. Apple can make that patch in a day or two.
They don't need to rewrite the kernel, no as much as they did when NeXTStep evolved to Mac OS.
>>61370375
Yeah? Well, OK. I don't know, maybe some kexts won't be supported, testing is required. I understand why they don't want to put money into it now.
>>61370466
Probably mostly a issue with contracts with Intel.
That's the most likely explanation.
>>61370466
Darwin is very portable. The biggest issue would be write the drivers for the controllers in the Zen die, but that isn't near as hard as porting to a new processor architecture.

Brian stop.
>>61370530
Why are you comparing an unreleased HEDT CPU against a mainstream Ryzen part? Skylake-X would compete against Threadripper my confused friend.

AND PEOPLE ARE THINKING THE 18 CORE WON'T BE JUST PIC RELATED WITH TOOTHPASTE

That's shooting in the feet on purpose.
