Unboxing
Available starting August 10th 2017 and AMD will initially release two models: a 16-core, 32-thread model and a 12-core, 24-threaded model, followed shortly by that 8-core SKU offering you quad-channel memory and 64 lanes of PCIe gen 3.0. That memory will run the same clock as the infinity fabric. So on the previous page we have been showing the 1920X, obviously we have a Threadripper 1950X as well. Take a look at the photo above.
And here the backside, 4094-pin sTR4 socket so yeah, that's 4094 pins there. I'll take their word for it :)
You already have seen a number of X399 motherboard announcements, and it is no secret that processors will initially be released in the HEDT (High-End Desktop) segment.
So yeah, when you have one in your hands, you realize the Threadripper packages are plenty heavy, I placed it on scale, they weight in at 138g a piece.
