AMD Announces 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper 2000, up to 32 Cores/64 Threads!

[DeathtoGnomes]

So glad that price is lower than previously reported.

I am not sure what you are talking about. World doesn't revolve around gaming only. There are plenty of people who can utilize 32 cores. Its not designed for gaming alone in mind. By software being far behind core count you must mean gaming. Because plenty of other software supports multicore processors beyond eight.

Please list some of the things that are not about rendering, video or photo editing that need that many cores. Because there aren't.
But that's ok, Threadripper is not supposed to be a mass-market part anymore than Intel's HEDT was.

PS If plenty of people could use 32 cores, how come so many people are happily ditching desktops for laptops and even tablets?

Anandtech says DDR4-2933, like the rest of Ryzen 2.

AMD says the same, DDR4-2933 max. It's still good speed. I have no idea why this site faked that chart and even kept it fake once it was pointed out as wrong yesterday.

I'm not going to speculate in where this information came from, but TPU does unfortunately rarely correct articles, even when the error is pointed out almost immediately in the forum thread.

DDR4-2933 is certainly a decent speed, and I think almost no one will be bottlenecked by that. But those wanting ECC might have to wait a bit for DDR4-2933 ECC.

Cool to see that DDR4-2933 is officially supported yet all their own benchmarks are run with DDR4-3200 14-14-14-28-1T
-6% in gaming is rather awful, considering this is where i9 7900x also sucks.

Yeah, a subtle hint about what you should be running.
I wonder if all samples of these are able to handle DDR4-3200 14-14-14-28-1T (at what voltage?) over time? I've seen samples of Kaby Lake not able to run it at all. And don't forget that memory controllers do also degrade over time…

 

[londiste]

Probably. IF links are still tied to RAM clocks, so that is a nice sneaky nudge to performance as well while claiming they run at the same RAM speeds as Intel system
Given memory capable of doing that (which I must admit is not very cheap) any Xen+ based (2000 series) Ryzen/TR should be able to run that. Good RAM kits should do that at 1.35V I believe.

I'm slightly worried over this prevalent attitude. It sets the stage for dissapointment as it's incredibly vague. It's like the people saying No Mans Sky will be incredible with the new dlc.

OT, but after this "NEXT" update, No Man's Sky is truly incredible.

Nice i start love AMD

 

[Captain_Tom]

I know you are bullshitting since currently there are no CL14 RAM sticks at 3600MHz , and not even in 2016 you couldn't buy that cheap, common!
Try again.

Have you heard of overclocking? And yes I did. What, do I need to post my purchase history?

Everyone building PC's right now is getting robbed.

Im not seeing the big impact from the original TR ... 0.9% overall perf increase for 67% more cost and 100% more cores over the 7820x.

Same goes for i7 7900x and 7920x.
~4.2% overall perf. increase for %25 more cores and %67 more cost in the case of 7900x.
and ~2% increase for %50 more cores and %100 more cost in the case of 7920x.

So it looks that Adobe premiere just doesnt benefit from more than 8c/16th effeciently

LOL everyone take notice that he left off the 2700X...

Even at 0 performance difference, these new chips are still cheaper

Man did you guys see the deal on the 1920X 12 core

Was going for $249 on Amazon

What, when, where? Ah the US, probably not anymore though

It lasted only a few hours and then Amazon ran out of stock

I think the 19xx will be the last of their kind, I wonder how the current HEDT lineup (29xx) will look a year from now, including the competition from Intel.

I wish I would have gotten the 1920X would have been a great upgrade

Seriously awesome stuff coming out of AMDs camp! that come back wow!
