My fantasy build for dedicated Boinc

I hope they finally fix the AVX capability. The 2990WX flat sucks in comparison to Intel Xeons on SRBase or PG. On projects that aren't AVX intensive the 2990WX kick butt.

Threadripper, Threadripper 2 and Threadripper 3 might benefit from optimized AMD applications, preferably built on a non-Intel compiler. And from libraries that do not have lines in them as
If vendor_string equals Intel then ...
else goto ...

They would also benefit if the AVX registers could do both multiplication and division like the Intel architecture. AMD has said they will fix it in TR3 because they have a piss poor implementation that hobbles their CPUs versus the Intel's. They also said they wouldn't support AVX 512 yet. They said they will double FP processing speed. The TR3 is going to be a monster!
