AMD Readies Nine Ryzen Threadripper Models
AMD, which announced its Ryzen Threadripper HEDT processor at its 2017 Computex show, closely followed by certain motherboard manufacturers' unveiling of their compatible AMD X399 chipset motherboards; is readying nine SKUs based on the dual "Summit Ridge" MCM. This includes 10-core (3+2+3+2), 12-core (3+3+3+3), 14-core (4+3+4+3), and 16-core (4+4+4+4) models, all of which have SMT enabled, resulting in 20, 24, 28, and 32 threads, respectively; full 64-lane PCI-Express gen 3.0 root-complexes; and full quad-channel DDR4 memory interfaces. Some of these models with the "X" brand extension feature XFR (extended frequency range), which adds 200 MHz to the boost clock, if the cooling is sufficient.
The lineup is led by the 16-core/32-thread Ryzen Threadripper 1998X, with a healthy clock speed of 3.50 GHz, and 3.90 GHz boost, a TDP of 155W, and XFR. This is closely followed by the 16-core/32-thread 1998, clocked lower, at 3.20 GHz with 3.60 GHz boost, 155W TDP, and lack of XFR. The 16-core chips are followed by 14-core models. The 14-core/28-thread Ryzen Threadripper 1977X ships with 3.50 GHz core clock speed, but 4.00 GHz boost, XFR, and the same 155W TDP as the 16-core parts. This is closely followed by the 14-core/28-thread 1977 (non-X), with lower clocks of 3.20 GHz core, 3.70 GHz boost, and again, the same 155W TDP.
AMD could trounce Intel's HEDT lineup in terms of TDP from its 12-core lineup and below. The 12-core/24-thread Ryzen Threadripper 1976X ships with a staggering 3.60 GHz core, and 4.10 GHz boost, XFR, and "only" 125W TDP. In comparison, everything 6-core thru 10-core in Intel's Skylake-X HEDT lineup is 140W. The next 12-core/24-thread Threadripper part is the 1956X with 3.20 GHz core, 3.80 GHz boost, XFR, and 125W TDP. Its smaller sibling, the 1956 (non-X), ships with 3.00 GHz core, 3.70 GHz boost, and no XFR, but the same 125W TDP.
We now move on to AMD's 10-core/20-thread lineup. The Ryzen Threadripper 1955X ships with 3.60 GHz core and 4.00 GHz boost, and XFR adding further to the boost clock. The 1955 (non-X) will be the cheapest Threadripper you can buy. This 10-core/20-thread chip is clocked at 3.10 GHz, with 3.70 GHz boost. Both 10-core parts have their TDP rated at 125W.
The company didn't disclose cache structure, or pricing. We expect the 10-core Threadripper models to take on Intel's 4-thru-6-core "Kaby Lake-X" and "Skylake-X" parts; the 12-core Threadripper on Intel's 8-thru-10 core parts, the 14-core Threadripper on Intel's 10-thru-12 core parts; and the 16-core Threadripper, bolstered by its high clock speeds, on Intel's 16-thru-18-core parts.

If it is, I'm in.
10-core to take the price level of the 1800X at $499, and the 1800X itself to be slashed to the $420, then you know the drill - 12 core at $649, 14 core at $749 and leaving the 16 at something like $849.
Or even lower like:
10-core @ $499, 12-core @ $549, 14 @ $649 and 16-core @ $749! I still don't accept Intel's pricing - for me they are monopolists and hefty overpriced!
Don't forget that the server grade chips will come later too and that is the place where I expect pricing above $1000, not on the desktop market.
Imagine the size of waterblock needed cor that :0
Even though I have pretty much stopped using SLI/xfire in favor of a single, more powerful card (although I am not above getting 2 more powerful cards :)) and have no need for PCIe SSDs or crunching cards, those 64 lanes are just very sexy.
Just imagine: the pump will must be huge and the cooling radiator will must have to be large for three 14 inch ventilators. Like corsair H110 I but even bigger... so price that coolers will around 150 usd and more .. so if you want two TH ryper .. add 300+ usd just for proper cooling .... :toast:
like now i can not get stable more than 3500 mhz on ryzen 1700x with avx application , run on 100% load all cpu .. chipset have +60C-hwinfo and heatsink is danger to touch ..burn finger.. so i must find some new cooler for chipset on GA-AX370-Gaming K3..(lol) still i have some unawares restart on whole system ,,dont now why ,,cca every 2 day .. ram have two 8gb 2133 ddr4 soo its not about ram speed crashing proably . now trying beta f3 bios
but thank you amd for move UP on this whole cpu sector for :clap:
Now we would need "amd ryzen " in the ssd and m.2 and pcie sector ..
becouse prices on 1-4 tbytes ssd and m.2 is crazy.. many people dont need 3500 write and read BUT we need some 1500-2000read and 800-1000 write betwen. but data BIGGER than 1 tb... 2-4 tb becouse after format you have always much lover data .. just my opnon
