Hello,
Been awhile since I've posted here. There honestly hasn't been a bit of stuff going on in the industry that has been OMG amazing. Then Threadripper was released.
I've been doing some research and stuff, and ran across and article on WCCFTech. Thread Ripper comes with 4 die packages, each with 8 cores. AMD said that 2 of these packages were dummy cores. So the guys over there went and paid 1k for a retail package to find out if it was just their engineering sample that was mysterious.
http://wccftech.com/amd-threadripper...-epyc-32-core/
What they ended up finding out in all die packages were legitimate. The only problem is 2/4 are disabled.
Does anybody have any insight in this at all? Are we going to have some interesting CPU hacks to enable all 32 cores of the 1950? What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael
