AMD is about to launch the second generation of Ruilong thread tearer fever processor, with up to 32 cores and 64 threads. Various exposures are also intensive these days.
Now the foreign media shared a CPU-Z screenshot, and the new flagship model was named as 'Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX ', consistent with the name given by the Canadian retailer, A letter 'W' is added to the first generation.
It doesn't matter what this 'W' stands for. Is it Workstation? After all, the number of cores of the second generation of tearers has increased greatly, and it is also a bit more for enthusiast desktop players, but it is very suitable for workstation platforms.
Interestingly, the early exposure of the CPU-Z screenshot shows the name is still 2990X, it seems that this W is likely to be added later.

In addition, the screenshot shows that the real-time working frequency of 2990WX has reached 4.1GHz It is obviously an acceleration state, but as to whether the maximum acceleration frequency is still uncertain, it is very likely that it can accelerate higher from the previous news.
250W thermal design power, 12nm process, SP3 package interface, 16MB L2 cache, 64MB L3 cache... Other parameters are familiar.
It is said that the processor used in this screenshot is provided by AMD, but the details are not disclosed. It may be a sample of the evaluation, or it may be an engineering sample.
