AMD’s beast with 32 cores and 64 threads will cost $ 1,799.

June 2018. During the last Computex 2018, Intel proudly took the stage to anticipate that at the end of the year they would launch a processor with 28 cores, 56 threads and a speed of 5Ghz. The day after this announcement, AMD jumped on stage and presented us with the second generation of their successful Ryzen Threadripper, which would arrive with 32 cores and 64 threads, but we had no price or availability, until today.

Today AMD confirmed all the details of the new second-generation Ryzen Threadripper family, whose Flagship chip will go on sale on August 13 for just $ 1,799. A new frontal attack from AMD who does not seek to give ground to what they won in 2017.

7,618 points in Cinebench, a new record

The new Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 32-core and 64-thread It is aimed at the professional sector, those who seek above all to perform tasks related to creation and creative development, such as 3D rendering, video graphics and editing.

This second generation is again based on 12 nanometer Zen architecture and will work with current AMD X399 boards, so we will need to update this component. During this announcement, AMD boasted of having achieved the new world record in Cinebench, this under a multi-threaded CPU test for the single socket desktop CPU category, where it scored 7,618 points. That is, it surpassed the 7,334 points of the new 28-core processor that Intel will launch at the end of the year.

It should be noted that AMD obtained this record by cooling the chip with nitrogen and increasing the speed to 5.1 Ghz, so these are special conditions that will not be available to all users. However, This new Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX will have a base speed of 3 Ghz and 4.2 Ghz in boost mode.
