I didn't see pricing info in the article. Has that been announced anywhere?


No, there was also no word on official/validated ECC support, only that Threadripper will launch this summer. But people hope for something between 999$ (since it is two Ryzen R7) and 1499$ for the 16 core CPU. 999$ would be awesome, but 1499$ sounds much more realistic, maybe even more, since it has a much larger socket, high end platform bonus etc.

I think given all the other Zen CPUs support it i think that is a given.

> 999$ (since it is two Ryzen R7) and 1499$

I think it will be more around the 999$ but the motherboard will be quite expensive, it is after all basically a duel CPU main board. Don't expect to pick up a board for under 500$

Yes, Ryzen can use ECC if the motherboard maker supports it, but ECC support is not validated. [0]

I think that in the end this will be down the mainboard makers to get validation so possibly will not be validated on non-server style boards. But if there is demand given epic is basicly the same thing just bigger im sure they will do it.
