AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X 32 Core and 2950X 24 Core Processors Launching on 13th August – New X399 Refresh Boards To Be Introduced Too

There will be two Ryzen Threadripper processors which will hit the market, these would include:

Ryzen Threadripper 2990X (32 Core / 64 Thread)
Ryzen Threadripper 2950X (24 Core / 48 Thread)

The chip will rock 32 cores and 64 threads which eclipses Intel’s Halo product which will sport only 28 cores and 56 threads. The chip is expected to feature a base clock of 3.4 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.

When compared to the Core i9-7980XE. the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X at around $1500 US offers better architecture based on a 12nm process, 14 more cores, 28 more threads and for $500 less

On the X399 front, we will be looking at a slew of new refreshed designs, specifically built for the 2nd Generation HEDT processors...


I notice in the attachment they are starting to speculate 64 cores and 128 threads in 2019. Seems VERY speculative. Still fun that CPU core count is "taking off" -- as it did with GPUs long ago.
