I was just thinking this. Yes it'll have half the lanes of EPYC still, okay, but now the lanes will be connected to all the dies equally rather than to just 1/2

I was just thinking this. Yes it'll have half the lanes of EPYC still, okay, but now the lanes will be connected to all the dies equally rather than to just 1/2 the dies. This hopefully means Threadripper 3 can perform almost as well as EPYC with just 1/2 the memory bandwidth - that isn't insignificant but it's a big improvement on Threadripper 2.
- Tuna-Fish 8y agoAn interesting point is that TR owners are much more likely to run their RAM at higher, out of JEDEC spec speeds, so the difference can be a lot smaller than 1/2.
