AMD announced the second-generation fever platform's Ruilong thread tearer during the Taipei Computer Show, up to 32 cores and 64 threads. Now we have the exact news, the second-generation thread tearer will be officially released on August 13!
Thread Ripper's existing flagship Ryzen ThreadRipper 1950X based on 14nm process, Zen architecture, 16 core 32 threads, L2 cache 8MB, L3 cache 32MB, reference frequency 3.4GHz, acceleration frequency 4.0GHz, thermal design power consumption 180W, starting price 8499 yuan ($999).
The second-generation thread tearer first launched two models, including Flagship has been confirmed as Ryzen ThreadRipper 2990X , Based on the same 12nm process as the second generation of Ruilong, Zen+ architecture, 32 core 64 threads, 16MB of L2 cache, 64MB of L3 cache (total 80MB), the reference frequency is still 3.4GHz, the acceleration frequency is still 4.0GHz, and can also be used Acceleration technologies such as XFR2 are further increased to 4.2 GHz in a single core, while thermal design power is also increased to 250 W.
In addition, the four-channel DDR4 memory support should remain unchanged, and the number of PCI-E 3.0 channels does not know whether it will double to 128?
The price is said to be about half higher than the 1950X. That's about $1,500 (the national bank is 1223?), even if it is quite good value, you know that the Intel 18 core 36 thread i7-7980XE sold for $2,000.
The flagship is Ryzen ThreadRipper 2950X (Before the rumor is called 2970X), Reduced to 24 core 48 threads, thermal design power is also 250W , but the frequency is unknown, it should be slightly higher than 2990X.
Previously, the news said that there is a 16-core 32-thread model, which seems to have been canceled. In this case, the first-and second-generation thread tearers should coexist.
The second-generation thread tearer will continue to use the TR4 package interface, with the X399 motherboard, but the power and heat requirements are higher, so a new version is needed, known MSI's MEG X399 Creation, Gigabyte's AORUS X399 Xtreme.
PS: It is rumored that Intel will give up the Extreme Edition fever processor, AMD is not even more proud of it...
