The Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX will feature 24 cores and 48 threads for a price of just $1299 US. Intel’s 12 core chip in comparison costs $1200 US so we are looking at twice the number of cores at $100 US premium. The chip features clock speeds of 3.0 GHz base and 4.0 GHz boost (4.2 GHz XFR)

The Ryzen Threadripper 2920X will feature the same core config as its predecessor, the 1920X. We are looking at the same 12 cores and 24 threads. At the same time, the chip will be enhanced by the new Zen+ cores and provide higher clock speeds of 3.5 GHz base and 4.3 GHz boost with a 180W TDP. The chip will also come at a $100 US lesser price tag than its predecessor, at just $699 USD.

.. AMD will also be delivering the new Dynamic Local Mode for “WX” series processors.

[Per AMD]" In the applications we have tested to date, AMD has observed performance improvements of up to 47% with Dynamic Local Mode enabled.. not every application demonstrates the threading behaviors that Dynamic Local Mode is designed to assist".
