What's the most processing power you can get per dollar? Excluding free P4s by the side of the road, of course. I'm looking an upgrade over an i7 4790 for heavily multithreaded use.

Not sure about per dollar performance but Ryzen 2700X is much faster than i7 4790, about 150% faster in multithreading with nearly the same price.

>heavily multithreaded use
THREADRIPPER

On Mainstream? AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X.
On everything? Currently, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X.
Soon to be the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X though.
>2990X
>32 cores/64 threads
>$1500

Compare that to Intel's $10,000 28 core Xeon that needs a literal refrigerator to cool

This. Pretty much killed the utility of used Xeon E5s, even. And those used to be so attractive before Ryzen.

Did you not see what was posted? That's a dual E5-2690 with 16GB RAM system for $690 shipped. A 2700X is $320 for the processor alone and $140 for the RAM. You'd be at $600 built for a measly 8 core.

Threadripper is $750 needing a $320 mobo. Final tally you're looking at almost exactly double for a system that only has ~30% more performance than a dual E5-2690.
So both lose the price/performance race by a large margin.

>What's the most processing power you can get per dollar?
They answered your question, not your picture my dude. You are also posting fly-by-night ebay listings. So be nice.

I presume S1366 Xeons or something off Ali.

$600 Ryzen 2700X build still faster than E5-2690.

You could go with something like an Evga sr2 and two xeon x5680s. Should be around $5-600 bucks. Ive got this setup and when overclocked, it was pushing 2000 in cinebench r15.

It's not faster than TWO. That's a 2P system.

Pic relate.

Dual E5-2690's do 2100 at stock. Needing to OC dual 130W processors is probably more heat than I want to deal with, since these will be going full load pretty much 24/7.
If it was $350 I'd certainly do it. What were the dual 1366 workstations? Was that the T5400?

*No, T5400 was C2Q. T5500.

Hmm, here's a single X5690 for $190. I wonder if it has a dual socket mobo?

Yeah because they have 4c/8t more.
If you're specific to multithread that's fine, but these are pretty damn good on single thread as well.
And yes, it will outpace air conditioning. Fucking dumps heat like unimaginable.

Here's a dual X5650 for $336 shipped. 95W so less of a housefire. Half the performance of a dual E5-2690 but half the cost.

Doesnt say its 2x e5 2690 in ops picture. Just that its '16 core'. They're probably talking about theads not real cores. A lot of eBay offerings display it that way.

>asks for per dollar power
>all answers are "i dont know OP but you should buy AMD™"

AMD actually for per dollar performance. OP is cheaper because it is outdated and pre-owned.

Hmm, there's a GA-X99-SLI mobo on my craigslist for $100. Supports v3 and v4 processors. I wonder if any of those are cheap enough.

>$420 for a E5-2660v3 that barely beats an E5-2690
Guess not.

Hmmm....
These are probably noisy though.

I think we have a winner! A passmark of 27500 for $375!

Just a little inconvenient to use...

>East Haven
I know that area o_o

I don't care how much you spend, you won't be able to beat Threadrippers performance for the dollar, even on the used market. There's simply too many cores for the used market to make a dent in it.

I did it in the OP.

Suck a threadripper core. I got plenty to spare

Send me one and I'll build a system around it.

Send AMD an 8086k and they'll send you one.

Haven't received my email yet. Have the announced the winners yet?

free core 2 duos on the side of the road
or optiplex 780s on craigslist for $20 each

>even on the used market
why are people so retarded as to thinking that somehow a brand new product is going to be more cost effective than one that is a few years old, and used. its like this board is full of tech illiterate poor retards who just shill brands all day

single computer? probably modded t3500s with the x5670 for 100 bucks a pop or maybe t5500 for 200 bucks a pop
it depends on what you mean by processing power. obviously any of these computers would get stomped in bandwidth heavy and single threaded applications by any modern processor even for the price. a cluster of custom ASICs would deliver more bang for buck in its particular application field, TPUs would kill any GPU and CPU in matrix multiplication bang for buck as well.

I wish someone would make an x264 10 bit preset very slow ASIC.

alright. Find a lower cost alternative with as much processing power as a 32 core chip cheaper than $1500

multiple ones have been posted in this thread
you could also buy two of OP's for that same price
moron

Those won't match the performance of the 32 core for the same price.
32 cores motherfucker.

While a single PC used vs a single TR based build would lose. You can easily buy multiple machines for the price of just a single 2990X TR chip. $1500 could get you
>4 Dell T7500's with either dual 4c8t Xeons, or dual 6c12t Xeons
>A good switch

If you wanted to get crazy you could sling up a Beowulf cluster with the cheaper machines. Is it practical? No. It's a pain in the ass at esily 10x the power usage of the TR system. Will it work though and be more processing power while being cheaper? Yes.

16 + 16 = 32 user
TR is for newfags

Make your workload work on GPUs and you can blow it the FUCK off the face off the earth with an $80 ati 5970.

For $1500 the 2990X will be a paperweight. You'd need at least $2k to get a working system, which is 3x the price in the OP for maybe 2.6X the performance. So you're still behind.

this. GPUs are objectively the cheapest processing power you can get. you just gotta adapt your program to their shitty APIs and architecture.
otherwise look into ARM cpus
