AMD unveils Ryzen Threadripper: A monster CPU with 16 cores, 32 threads
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/05/amd-ryzen-threadripper-price-specs-release-date/

With one of the gnarliest CPU codenames we've ever seen, the Threadripper multicore monsters will go head to head with Intel's Broadwell-E and upcoming Skylake-E High-End Desktop (HEDT) CPUs alongside a new motherboard platform that promises expanded memory support and I/O bandwidth. That's likely to take the form of quad-channel RAM and more PCIe lanes, similar to Intel's X99 platform, but AMD is saving further details for its press conference at Computex at the end of May.

How much would it cost to change my moniker to Threadripper?
 
Kaby Lake was such a small improvement over Skylake. Hopefully the pressure AMD puts on Intel will result in a renewed arms race. Ditto for AMD VEGA vs. Nvidia GeForce.
 
Is threadripper a new name for forum troll?

I'm not upgrading from my 6700k for a number of years, but I wish I had waited for this.
