So we're waiting for the next generation of threadripper? Didn't expect them to be that far behind in price/performance ratio. But I guess it's great for servers. Can't wait for all the morons getting one for gaming.

Anandtech has great review, they were testing both Creator and Game mode with 1950X. Game mode has pretty good minimum frame rate advantage over Creative (some 30%), but unfortunately that's mostly in 1080p, and this is certainly not a 1080p CPU.

Ultimately, this is prosumer/workstation CPU for heavily threaded applications - I don't think many people whose main focus is gaming will actually buy one of these.

I wish that was true. I can already imagine the 5k "Gaming PCs" featuring a 1950X and 2x Vega 64 with a 1500W PSU and liquid cooling.
