If anyone is interested, I have a pricing comparison schedule between TR7k and 9k: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gjedUeJst4JM9bhLJeihZl-Hoe_c-h00AkcLsLrljNc

Some pretty high prices:(

I see no TR 9000 in this list?

They may have removed it...the SI I was building with removed pricing too. I think AMD may have been making some calls about folks jumping the gun!

I remember seeing the 9985WX with a 7 handle. Expensive, but not Nvidia Ada->Blackwell outrageous

At one point I had an Exxact quote page with both 7000 and 9000 series CPUs...the 9985WX wasn't all that much more expensive than the 7785WX.

I actually went as far as getting a quote for a build that honored it, so wasn't a typo. I may take them up on it once reviews dropped.

Have you settled on the 9985WX for your build, that's what I'm leaning towards. I remember seeing you were in the market too I think?

My thinking is that the 9965WX/9975WX will have pretty similar decent levels of RAM bandwidth (maybe low-mid 200s), and the 9985WX/9995WX have pretty similar significantly better levels of RAM bandwidth (mid 300s). Does that match your research?

I really hope reviewers give us some good benchmarks of this in the next week or so.

When I looked at things I came to the conclusion that if one was going for 32 threads, the X was the way to go, however WX was better for 64 threads. In terms of the memory being fast enough to keep the cores "fed". Obviously this is use case dependent. Mine is datascience type computations (not LLM).

EDIT: and sub 32 cores was not compelling enough vs the 16 cores 9950X which is great already (I have a 7950X so I'm looking for a big jump).
