That's literally what the OP did. A 1950X is only $799 now, so less than half a top end i9.

- loeg 8y agoThat's extremely recent. It was more like $900 a day or two ago: https://camelcamelcamel.com/AMD-Threadripper-32-thread-Processor-YD195XA8AEWOF/product/B074CBH3R4?context=search https://camelcamelcamel.com/AMD-Threadripper-32-thread-Proce... And it is still $960 on Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113447 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681911...
- sosuke 8y agoEh its just a matter of patience I guess. I got mine for $799 in December.
- dragontamer 8y agoI got my 1950x for $699 a few months ago. Its been $699 for a while at Microcenter. The "price-competitive" i9-7900x is 10-cores for $799, and seems to be the best price-competitive comparison. Better single-thread, better at AVX512 tasks, but weaker in general purpose multithreading due to having fewer cores.
- yellowapple 8y ago"And it is still $960 on Newegg" As of 2018-06-11 18:27 PDT (when I clicked on that link) the current Newegg price is $799.99.
