Yes, there are Rack patches that will eat even a Ryzen ThreadRipper, but
for the most part a powerful, large multicore system these days will run

Pardon me for jumping in late to this thread.
I am waiting for Milan, which shouldn't be far off. I intend to build a
workstation based on this generation of AMD Zen.
It probably doesn't quality as a "poor person's machine according to the

good basis for a professional level setup, if I've read the specs right.
Does anybody have any thoughts about this?
