It's Called Marketing: AMD to Hold Threadripper Event in Partnership With Scuderia Ferrari

Raevenlord · Jul 2, 2018

It seems that the marketing money is flowing once again at AMD - certainly buoyed by the company's mainstream, enthusiast and professional success with its Ryzen, Threadripper and Epyc series of processors. The event, being organized between AMD and Ferrari, has been confirmed by multiple sources, according to Videocardz, and should be focused on AMD's upcoming Threadripper 2000 series. Being one of Ferrari's sponsors for its Formula 1 team, the company is likely taking advantage of that fact to ease into such a high profile partnership - as well it should. The event is expected to take place in the last week of July - maybe time for a Threadripper 2000 an announcement with a spin on AMD's solutions being employed for simulations, providing the crunching power that is behind every F1?

Last week of July? So During the Hungarian GP? I am trying to get there... for my B-day.

Funny how hardware always seem to launch then...

Vayra86 · Jul 2, 2018

Nice to see though equally not impressed by this as I am with any sort of marketing

RejZoR · Jul 2, 2018

But Ferrari doesn't make anything with 32 cylinders XD

nemesis.ie · Jul 2, 2018

But they do have 32 valves and they make 8 cylinder engines and there are 8 cores per die.

The V6 in the Scuderia Ferrari SF71H is the 64th single seat car Ferrari has designed for F1.

well said, this was the previous goood marketing task by the red team so far...

Aquinus · Jul 2, 2018

Ehhh, it's the same marketing. The difference is that the hype this time is likely justified.

Vya Domus · Jul 2, 2018

Marketing , bleh...

When their competition pulls off stuff like this , it's quite an unexciting battle. Hey it's about formula cars too , coincidence ? :roll:
