I was expecting better from TR (this is personal).

It have very good watt and temperature numbers. But CCX problem (which bothers me most) still show itself...

TR is a bit ahead of its time. CPU architectural innovation has been necrotic and software coding reflects. As coding adjusts to be more 'NUMA aware', I think AMD's investment into "glued together" scalable CPU architecture will pay off big time. The day of monolithic CPU designs are numbered.

AT $1000, TR is right where I expected and performance will only get better as coding starts taking advantage.

Is there no review with multi-gpu?

AMD and Nvidia are largely abandoning multiGPU for consumer workloads, so I wouldn't expect much in the way of Xfire or SLI in the future.

the new api are supposed to take care of it, and with the amd new memory interface amd is using on vega it might see something with a UMA style multi gpu card like TR is for cpu.

they are abandoning the new api too (on this side of it of course)
