We'll probably see mainstream 32-core Zen 7 or Zen 8 with the performance of >48 Zen 5 cores. 96-core Zen 5 will be the first component on the list to become "obsolete", although the I/O and memory channels will be lacking on consumer sockets. Terabytes of DRAM will become cheaper and more commonplace after 3D DRAM takes off. The GPUs/accelerators of 10 years from now will improve a lot. But to get the memory you want, you might need a future evolution of Strix/Medusa Halo. But yeah, we can dream of the $150k workstation cratering down to $2k. If the MI350P 288 GB accelerators are still holding a lot of value 10 years from now, they could be ripped out of the system and sold separately. The 9995WX + motherboard + 2 TB DDR5 will hopefully be left in the dust by then, if CPUs and memory advance enough. Reply

TechieTwo Looks like a nice desktop PC. I think everyone should have one or two. AMD please send me a "test unit". :blush: Reply
qxp Its weird – why settle for Threadripper when the cost is dominated by GPUs and memory? They should have just put Epyc CPUs, more slots, more memory bandwidth. Reply

It's Threadripper Pro, and I doubt it lacks much that you would need Epyc to get. Pro has 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes and 8-channel memory, non-Pro has 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes and 4-channel memory. It also clocks higher than Epyc chips, 5.4 GHz vs. 4.5 GHz for a Turin 96-core. Reply
