AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 2990x [32-core / 64-thread] Listed For $1835 USD At Canadian Retailer
The AMD Threadripper 2990X is the flagship of the TR2 platform and features a mammoth 32-core / 64-thread count that can satisfy even the most power hungry Amateur/Video Professional workload.
Pre-orders are usually pretty pricey so if that is the case here then we can expect it to retail for something along the lines of $1499-1799 once the dust has settled.
The 2990X has already shown up for sale/pre-order on two sites. As noted in the above rumor, this CPU is not aimed at gamers. As previously noted in this thread, there may be a 7nm 16c/32t mainstream Ryzen next year.
