I'm all for double the memory bandwidth (and more importantly double the memory channels) as long as it's not too expensive. But I'm holding off on buying a new desktop till the AMD Threadripper hits in a few weeks. I suspect that benchmarks do a really poor job of measuring worst case performance... which is what users notice. Things like UI lag and audio skipping. I suspect double the memory bandwidth (assuming a nice fast M.2 SSD) is the limiting factor for heavy workloads made up of independent tasks.
