AMD 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper CPUs With Up To 32 Cores and 64 Threads Confirmed – Built on 12nm Zen+ Process, First Demo Shown, Launch in 2H 2018

AMD has just dropped the bomb at Computex 2018, showcasing their very first 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper flagship processor with up to 32 cores and 64 threads, something we knew would happen and reported last year. The announcement comes a day after Intel announced their flagship 28 core, 56 thread Cascade Lake-X CPU for Q4 2018.

Just like Pinnacle Ridge processors, the new Ryzen Threadripper processors will feature the latest Precision Boost and XFR clocking techniques for more stable and efficient operation over the current Threadripper variants. We can also expect faster clocks out of the box in terms of both base and booth frequencies and a good gain in overclocking improvements. AMD will also keep compatibility retained on current X399 motherboards with the TR4 socket
