AMD announced the second-generation Ryzen ThreadRipper thread tearer at Taipei Computer Show. Like the second generation of Ruilong, it is a 12nm process. The Zen+ architecture currently looks at 32 cores with 64 threads, 2990X, 24 cores with 48 threads, 2970X, and 16 cores with 32 threads. The 2950X models have doubled the number of cores and threads compared to the corresponding models.
Among them, 2990X reference frequency 3.0GHz, full-core acceleration 3.4GHz, maximum acceleration 4.0GHz, XFR spread spectrum up to 4.2GHz, has a 3MB L1 cache, 16MB L2 cache, 64MB L3 cache, thermal design power 250W, is still TR4 package interface, continue with X399 motherboard.
Now, Cyberport, Germany's online store, took the lead in putting the 2990X on the shelves. The price was as high as 1,509 euros, or about 11,600 yuan.
16 core 32 thread generation flagship 1950X starting price is 8499 yuan, has now dropped to 6699 yuan.
Although this kind of price that is not available even for booking is very large, but considering the doubling of the core size, the price of the 2990X will definitely increase. Even if AMD insists on cost-effectiveness in the field of fever, it may even approach or even exceed 10,000 yuan.
Intel currently has up to 18 cores and 36 threads in the desktop enthusiast category, and only 28 cores and 56 threads on the Xeon servers, and the 10nm process and next-generation architecture are still far away. This round of Intel is unable to suppress AMD anyway.
