AMD Threadripper 2950X versus i9 line?

[Kayley]

2 of the RAM kits were faulty (Memtest errors), CPU and Motherboard too. I swear they just grabbed my stuff out of their RMA pile

CPU wizard is still the same as before at the moment.
Some programs see the 2950x as a 16 core, 32t CPU and adjusts things accordingly.
However some other programs see the 2950x as CPU#1 and CPU#2 with 8 cores a piece.

Black Friday sales in AUS are decent.. too bad I didn't wait xD

Several vendors near me have added preorder links for the new Intel CPU's and the prices are still pretty steep.

i9-9920X. 12 cores, 24 threads. $1849. ~4.4 all core OC.
TR-2950X. 16 cores, 32 threads. $1415. ~4.1 all core OC.

No reviews available but the AMD system is starting to seem more appealing.

Have you managed to find a solution to get ISBoxer to correctly assign cores on the Threadripper yet? I imagine this would be a tough one to get fixed since Lax is unlikely to fork out a grand for a CPU to test on.
