AMD Announces 64-core Ryzen Threadripper 3990X with 4.3 GHz Turbo at 3990 USD
Over at CES AMD just announced their Threadripper 3990X at 4.3 GHz Boost and 3990 USD. The processor will get 64-cores and thus 128-threads. The product will be available in a few week's time, February the 7th.
Earlier chatter indicated that AMD would reveal the Threadripper 3990X in January during CES, but AMD had shifted the announcement forward already. The 64-headed beast will get 128 threads, and that is unprecedented as that is still tagged as a consumer-level processor, which by the way will work on the TRX40 chipset (we confirmed with AMD). Just like the Threadripper 3960X (review) and 3970X (review), the chip could get a 280W TDP, we still need to validate that.

64 cores!!!
**Cries in 3700X**
Why? Unless you need 64 cores for professional use your CPU is a very nice one. I like the sillinessof a 64 core CPU but i don´t want anything like that for my personal use.

Dare I ask how thirsty it'll be? Especially when overclocked? xD

truly amazeballs when you take a moment for perspective to cut in.
this does still (barely) fit in the HEDT envelope... after all a lot of us have more than a touch of grey and we remember when a truly high end pc was around $10k.
now, with the tremendous affordability of all pc components (relatively speaking) one could pimp out this proc with custom cooling well under $7k.
other than that, this CES here in L.V. is a snooze-fest. nothing that hasn't been expected, and a lot that isn't exciting.
i'm just hanging out with my dudes i see 1-2 per year.

lol so true, except for one thing... the Devs playing while compiling or rendering o_O
honestly, in terms of the impact this will have on Hollywood (esp. independents) AMD should be getting a technical Oscar in a year or two.
Unfortunately, it'll be a mighty long time before game software and hardware even remotely reaches the ability to utilise enough cores on a Threadripper 3 to even remotely justify it's inclusion into a sole gaming rig. By then it won't be so insane
