Threadripper And EPYC Are Not One And The Same, Mostly. Der8auer Confirms.

[AMD Comment} "Threadripper is not a Epyc processor. Different substrate, different dies. 2 dies work, other 2 have no path to operation. Basically rocks."


EPYC is AMD's high core count server CPU. AMD said Threadripper was not merely a "cut down" EPYC. Threadripper was special.

One AMD aficionado was not sure. So, he disassembled and x-rayed (literally) a Threadripper and an EPYC.

He confirmed, they are two different CPUs (mostly). They have some packaging similarities. But, the silicon looks significantly different.

I personally assume AMD could double the Threadripper to 32cores/64Threads "overnight" (in a manner of speaking). The room to do so is there in the package. So, the future looks good for much higher core counts.
