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.


Sapphire Pulse RX7900XTX, 3 monitors = 23P (1080p) + SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G7 1000R curve (4K/2160p) + 23P (1080p), AMD R9-7950X (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420), 64GB RAM@6.0GHz, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER MB, (4x M.2 SSD + 2xSSD + 2xHD) = ~52TB storage, EVGA 1600W PSU, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower, ASUS RT-AX89X 6000Mbps WiFi router, VKB Gladiator WW2 Stick, Pedals, G.Skill RGB KB, AORUS Thunder M7 Mouse, W11 Pro

A leak-rumor that is claimed to be traceable to AMD. But, still a rumor.

4GHz on all 32 cores/64 threads (base frequency is lower). Could be true. My 3 Ryzens are set to 4.0GHz on all cores all the time (4c/8t, 6c/12, and 8c/16t versions) -- even though the nominal base frequency is lower. Maybe its a feature of the basic Ryzen design.

Exclusive: AMD’s Threadripper 2990X 32 Core Will Hit 4.0 GHz [All Cores] On Air On New [Stock] Wraith Coolers

AMD is introducing new Wraith Ripper coolers that will allow its flagship processor, the Threadripper 2990X/WX to hit 4.0 GHz on all cores on air.

Since this is the all-core boost, it naturally implies that single and fewer core boosts will be much higher.

We can also confirm that the leaks with the processor scoring 6000 points on Cinebench are accurate and the AMD Threadripper 2990X/WX will be able to hit that score using the stock [in the box] Wraith cooler. All in all, Threadripper 2 is shaping up to be an absolutely disruptive platform and we can’t wait for reviews to go live.

CPU sales results from one large German retailer.

AMD Ryzen and Intel Coffee Lake CPU Market Share at 50% Each in July – Strong Ryzen Sales, Intel CPUs Still Report Higher Revenue

AMD Ryzen Processors Witnessed Strong Sales in July – AMD CPU Market Share Now Surpassing Intel

..both AMD and Intel hold a market share of 50%.. AMD CPUs .. are [slightly] ahead in the total number of processors sold

Intel chips accounted for a total of 58% [of CPU revenue] while AMD chips accounted for a total of 42%

The reason behind this is that many AMD Ryzen processors, including first and second generation, have been on sale on discounted prices since their launch. So they won’t end up providing as much revenue as they would have on launch. Intel, on the other hand, has maintained their prices

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2000 Series Specifications and Prices Revealed – 2990WX With 32 Cores For $1799 US, 2970WX WIth 24 Cores For $1299 US, 2950X With 16 Cores For $899 US and 2920X With 12 Cores For $649 US

Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, 2970WX, 2950X and 2920X. The ‘WX’ models are aimed at content creators and developers while the ‘X’ series processors are aimed at gamers. We believe that the WX processors would have creator mode enabled by default while the X processors would have gaming mode enabled by default. Users can configure modes based on their preferences.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX will rock 32 cores and 64 threads that eclipses Intel’s halo product which will sport 28 cores and 56 threads. The chip is [rumored] to feature a base clock of 3.0 GHz and a maximum boost clock of 4.0 GHz while the precision boost overdrive clocks are rated at +200 MHz so expect up to 4.20 GHz in single core optimized workloads.


Previous rumor indicates that the 32 core Ryzen could run at 4.0GHz on all cores all the time with the new & improved Wraith cooler (or water cooling). That may require a motherboard and PSU designed to provide the extra power. I read that at least one new motherboard will have an extra 6 pin connector to provide extra power --- but its not been 3'd party tested, yet.

AMD Unleashes Quad Core Zen Custom SOC With Vega 24 On-Chip Graphics – First PCB Shots Revealed, 8 GB of GDDR5 Memory and More

AMD has just revealed their new semi-custom SOC which packs Zen and Vega on a single package. The new SOC is aimed at Chinese PCs and game consoles which were showcased at the China Joy event.

[per AMD] "The new SOC is also a great example of our semi-custom strategy, where we take our differentiated IP and tailor to meet the specific needs of a customer to create a product only AMD can deliver."


It will be on the market this year.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 32 Core Flagship X399 CPU Listed For Pre-Orders on Newegg For $1799 US – Officially Launches on 13th August

It aims to be a workstation monster while retaining good game performance which many users buying this processor would be aiming for. Thing is, this CPU packs so much core power that you could probably game, stream, render and do tons of multi-tasking at the same time and the processor won’t even break a sweat.

Some AMD provided Threadripper slides. Give an indication of "bang per buck" and special "Gaming" settings.

The third attached slide shows that the "stock in the box cooler" rumor posted above was WRONG. The special Wraith air cooler is a third party item that costs cash -- too much cash, I think. For the price, I'd rather do Water Cooling. However, it does the job and looks "cool".

Nvidia's new gaming GPUs are rumored to be on pre-order Monday. I say rumor because I did not check sources -- its probably true.

Quote
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti features 4352 CUDA cores


The new cards are the 2080Ti and 2080. They are still nominally of the 14nm/12nm architecture. Until the 3d party "objective" testing is published, we don't know how much better they will be.

The next big things for AMD and Nvidia will be nominally 7nm architecture presumably next year. That should be a bigger jump. I'm waiting on the AMD 7nm answer before considering any changes to my Vega 64 main GPU.

One attachment is official Nvidia 2080 series pre-order pricing captured from Nvidia site. But, other Nvidia material suggests lower pricing for custom cards -- speculated to be available in two months, or so.

Regarding performance: Still need significant 3'd party testing by review sites to sort through the many rumors.

The article summarizes what's known and some of what's rumored.

UPDATE: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING OC 8G will be released September 20.for $830 pre-order.

What will AMD respond with?

Quote
First Navi is mainstream, then high end

AMD Navi is mainstream, it replaces the 580 and 570 and it will be a good chip for this market segment but it will - according to all of our sources - come very late to the game. It won’t come out until later part of 2019 according to our knowledge and industry sources


To repeat the speculation\rumor posted long ago: Navi might initially be a $250 GPU that performs like a Vega 64 or GTX 1080 does today. Since most gamers buy RX580/GTX1060 price cards, the Navi would support most gamers and, probably, every game made.

Given limited resources, AMD "decided" to compete on CPU at the expense of GPU. Obviously, to remain relevant, AMD must do what they did with the CPU, they must invent a GPU that unexpectedly "catches up" with the competition.

Competition is good. But, apparently, we won't have any at the GPU peformance high end for a while. So, it will be interesting tro see what (if anything) AMD actually does in the near term regarding "bang per buck".

According to Expreview AMD could reveal 7nm Ryzen Raven Ridge APUs later this year. The story is allegedly based on Citigroup analyst report, which describes TSMC production capacity for different nodes. He claims that AMD will launch 7nnm APU at the end of this year.


A very speculative rumor.

Relative to the above Nvidia posts: In reading Nvida fan comments about RTX 2080 and 2080Ti, I was surprised to see how "reserved" many Nvidia fans are about the new RTX 2000 cards. Seems they expected more performance for less cash. Some await 3d party test reports to see if the value is there. Some await the 7nm versions.

How can fan comments reflect on 2800/ti performance when the performance isn't known yet?

Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s NVIDIA RTX Gamescom Demo Isn’t Great, But Developers Aren’t Worried

Gamescom 2018 Shadow of the Tomb Raider demo running on the new RTX 2080Ti GPU with raytraced shadows enabled.

The setup worried attendees, however. Running at 1080p resolution, the game couldn’t even stay locked at 60 frames per second and drops were quite noticeable at times.


This is not the bash Nvidia thread. Its about competition. The above article notes what I have been reading. Ray tracing takes so much GPU power that perhaps even with an RTX 2080 TI, its not practical for folks who want high frame rates at 2K or 4K resolution. Note that the ray tracing was for shadows only. To really make a difference, ray tracing must apply to all the rays (e.g. give realistic reflections).

Some pundits have written that we are 10 years away from enough GPU power to propel real-time ray tracing as it needs to be done to satisfy high-end gaming. On the other hand, there are professional non-real-time applications that can make good use of it -- those professionals are interested in the RTX 2080Ti.

The above demo may have been misleadingly slow -- we'll see how things turn out as ray traced games are released and 3'd party tested. I do like that ray tracing has begun. Now AMD and Intel (with their upcoming gaming GPUs) will have to consider it. Competition is good smile
