I saw this posted in a comment on Hacker News earlier:
No wonder AMD never seem to gain the market share they deserve during the times they have better processors. I verified myself that it really is this awful, but only if I set the location to United States; if set it to United Kingdom then I see actual ThreadRipper systems at the top.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20027048 said:- Head over to dell.com and search for Products->Desktops->For Home (already forced into one choice I don't want to make, Home vs Work)
- Look at the AMD options. Threadripper is listed under processors, so pick that (noting in passing that "AMD Radeon" is somehow also listed as a processor option, and remind yourself this is one of the largest PC retailers in the world not knowing the difference between a CPU and GPU.)
- Get presented with 12 options, none of which are ThreadRipper machines.
- Notice the box at top right that says "Sort By" is set to "Lowest Price". Change it to sort by "Relevance". Finally a ThreadRipper model shows up - but only in 2nd place after an Intel system (!)
