AMD announced at the Taipei Computer Show the second-generation thread tearer, up to 32 cores and 64 threads, which doubles the number of generations, and the flagship model will be the Ryzen ThreadRipper 2990X.
Now, 2990X has appeared in 3DMark, confirming that the model is named correctly, 32 cores are clearly visible, and the frequency reference is 3.0GHz, which is consistent with the previous exposure, but the acceleration frequency is said to be up to 4.0GHz, which is displayed in 3DMark. There is 3.8GHz.
This may be because the engineering sample is not completely set according to the final frequency, it may be detected by 3DMark, or AMD lowered the specification.
Corresponding motherboard identified as 'AMD Whitehaven OPS Rev B CF4', is obviously an engineering model. thread tear second generation or TR4 package interface, can continue to match the X399 motherboard, is the thermal design power increased to 250W, higher power supply, cooling and overclocking requirements.
