AMD Ryzen 3000 Threadripper CPU With 64 Cores Coming in 2019
Though Intel is placing up a courageous combat on the CPU entrance, difficult AMD to “come meet us in real-world gaming,” there’s no denying that AMD has everybody’s consideration with its upcoming line of Ryzen 3000 CPUs. They’re anticipated to steal the efficiency crown from Intel for the primary time in additional than a decade. However the purple workforce isn’t completed but. Following shortly after its mainstream 12-core Ryzen 3900X in July, and the monstrous 16-core, Ryzen 3950X in September, we’ve now heard inform that Ryzen 3000 Threadripper chips are coming earlier than the top of the 12 months. And one among them has 64 cores.
At AMD’s Subsequent Horizon gaming occasion at E3, which noticed the official unveiling of its full Ryzen 3000 product line and the brand new RX 5700 Navi-based graphics playing cards, we noticed how prime Ryzen chips evaluate to Intel’s HEDT CPUs. Not solely did it declare that its $500 Ryzen 3900X may compete towards Intel’s 9900Okay in gaming, AMD instructed that it was quicker in multi-threaded workloads than Intel’s $1,200 9920X CPU.
The 16-core, $750 Ryzen 3950X, when overclocked to 5GHz on all cores utilizing liquid nitrogen, managed to interrupt world data beforehand held by closely overclocked Intel CPUs just like the 7960X and 9960X, too.
Which begs the query, what’s going to a Ryzen 3000 Threadripper chip line be able to? As a result of regardless of earlier issues, WCCFTech experiences that third-generation Threadripper CPUs are coming and probably earlier than the top of the 12 months too. Solely the top-tier, 64-core chip was talked about, but it surely was mentioned to have a full 128 threads and will likely be supported by a brand new motherboard platform, presently known as X599 — though which will change to keep away from confusion with Intel’s motherboards.
There’s no phrase on pricing, clock speeds, or design, though we’d count on the new-generation Threadripper chips to be much like the Epyc “Rome” server CPUs: A 14nm I/O die within the heart, surrounded by as much as eight 7nm chiplets.
The very existence of a third-generation Threadripper lineup flies within the face of expectations made by many just some weeks prior when Threadripper disappeared from AMD’s 2019 highway map. We have been by no means satisfied it was useless, hoping, maybe towards hope, that it could return to behave as a halo impact product, to showcase AMD’s dominance on the very prime of the efficiency pile. That’s the sort of “management” AMD CEO Lisa Su has been speaking about in her varied addresses all year long, and with a 64-core, Zen 2 Threadripper chip, it appears virtually inconceivable that it wouldn’t be probably the most succesful workstation CPU on this planet.
Though pricing will probably be larger than the primary (and maybe even the second) era Threadripper chips, contemplating Intel’s 18-core 9980XE is $1,800, AMD may cost fairly much more and nonetheless make it a worthwhile buy. Since they might most probably be primarily based on the identical TR4 socket, too, they’d make for a considerably extra reasonably priced improve path for potential consumers than something Intel may need coming down the pipeline to counter it.
