I bought a threadripper pro system out of desperation, trying to get secondhand PCIe 80G A100s to run locally. The huge rebar allocations confused/crashed every Intel/AMD system I had access to.
I think the Xeon systems should have worked and that it was actually a motherboard bios issue, but I had seen a photo of it running in a threadripper and prayed I wasn’t digging an even deeper hole.
- kadoban 1y agoYeah, that makes sense if you just have ~proof that some configuration works and want to just be done with it.
- jeffbee 1y agoThis is why a business like Puget Systems, or a line like HP Z Workstations, persist. You know in advance that your rig will work.
- sliken 1y agoI've been tempted, but had a hard time finding a case where I needed more than the 9950x but less than a single socket epyc. Especially since the epyc motherboards are cheaper, CPUs are cheaper, and the Epycs have 3x the memory bandwidth of the thread ripper and 1.5x the memory bandwidth of the Threadripper pro.
