AMD has launched a range of incredibly powerful CPUs named \u2018Threadripper\u2019, targeting the fastest PCs in the world.<\/b>
\nLast year, AMD released its Ryzen line of processors, but it didn\u2019t stop there. Later in August 2017, AMD launched three impressively overclockable high-end desktop CPUs \u2013 named \u2018Threadripper\u2019.
However, AMD wasn\u2019t sitting on its hands after releasing the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, one of the fastest processors on the market when it launched. AMD has since followed up with the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X and 2990WX that have dethroned it. AMD has also come out and suggested that bitcoin miners use Threadripper processors for cryptocurrency mining, to save cash on future upgrades, due to the insane compute power of Threadripper chips.
And with AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2nd Generation, we\u2019re getting much faster performance than we expected \u2013 creating a wider performance gap than what we saw when Ryzen 2nd Generation succeeded AMD Ryzen. This is thanks to the higher core counts, at the very least.
So, here\u2019s everything you need to know about AMD Ryzen Threadripper \u2013 from the release date to prices, even performance. And, as always, be sure to keep this article bookmarked, as we\u2019ll update it with any new information that comes our way.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper first two processors the 1950X and 1920X arrived on August 10,2017. While AMD\u2019s entry level Ryzen Threadripper 1900X came out a few weeks later on August 31,2017.
And, it looks like AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2nd Generation is going to follow in the first\u2019s footsteps \u2013 the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X launches on August 13,2018 with the rest of the high-end CPUs following in the coming months. AMD isn\u2019t going to slow down, either, AMD is planning on supporting Threadripper with new chips until at least 2020, according to some leaks.
At long last, we now have firm details on what price the AMD Ryzen Threadrippers will release at. They\u2019re not cheap, but you can expect to pay less for more performance than you would get with a comparable Intel chip. The prices of all the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors as they launched are as follows.
As for the competition, Intel\u2019s closest competitor to the 1950X, the Core i9-7960X will set you back a whopping $1,699 (around \u00a31,315, AU$2,200). The Threadripper 1900X\u2019s closest octa-core competitor from Intel is the Core i7-7820X at a much more reasonable $599 (\u00a3529, AU$869).
AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors absolutely destroyed everything else on the market when they first hit the streets. This is thanks to their insane core counts and multi-threaded performance. It wasn\u2019t until Skylake-X hit the street that Intel got a leg up, and even then the price-to-performance ratio just wasn\u2019t there. The specs for the Ryzen Threadripper chips are as follows:
To put this into perspective, the Intel Core i9-7960X has packs the same 16-cores and 32-threads as the Threadripper 1950X and so on and so forth with the Intel Core i9-7920X vs Threadripper 1920X and Intel Core i7-7820X vs Threadripper 1900X we’ve setup.
However, now that the Ryzen 2nd Generation has made it to market, you can find about 10% better performance in the Threadripper 2950X \u2013 with a lower price tag. Making it a great option for aspiring PC enthusiasts.
The Threadripper series uses AMD\u2019s SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) technology found in other Ryzen chips. Finally, the Ryzen Threadripper series processors uses a TP3 socket, which is a modified variant of the SP3 socket originally designed for AMD\u2019s beefy server chips that go up to 32-cores.<\/p>\n
