AMD Announces Threadripper: 16-core and 32-threads processors confirmed
We’ve been talking about the Ryzen 9 series HEDT processors (the 16 core parts) for a while now. At the Financial Analyst Day AMD's Jim Anderson announced high-performance enthusiast segmented performance CPUs, with up to 16 cores and 32 threads.
Jim Anderson announces 16-core / 32 thread desktop parts, threadripper. It will be available Summer 2017 and more information will become available during Computex. The Whitehaven platform should include support for quad-channel DDR4 memory support and offer additional PCIe lanes. Some unconfirmed additional rumors on these processors can be read up here. Threadripper processors will be available this Summer.
| Ryzen 9-cpu | Cores/threads | Clock/boost | Tdp | Memory | Pci-e-lanes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1998X | 16/32 | 3,5/3,9GHz | 155W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1998 | 16/32 | 3,2/3,6GHz | 155W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1977X | 14/28 | 3,5/4,0GHz | 155W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1977 | 14/28 | 3,2/3,7GHz | 140W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1976X | 12/24 | 3,6/4,1GHz | 125W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1956X | 12/24 | 3,2/3,8GHz | 125W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1956 | 12/24 | 3,0/3,7GHz | 125W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1955X | 10/20 | 3,6/4,0GHz | 125W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
| 1955 | 10/20 | 3,1/3,7GHz | 125W | Quad Channel DDR4 | 44 |
Originally SP3r2 4094-pin socket was developed for the AMD Naples series processor, but AMD did a 180 and is introducing it also as high-end desktop platform series processors and chipsets. Whitehaven will bring quad-channel towards the processor series and the most high-end process would get a 155W TDP, 125W for the 10 core parts.

This is where the whole CCX approach pays off for them I guess. These things shouldn't really have much different yields than anything presented up until now, since it's the CCX yields that matter. That 10/20 part will most likely be at around $600 and it looks like the best sweetspot for "enthusiasts". I would also like to see Ryzen performing with quad channel memory.

It certainly does look like good planning.
With 7nm(+), they should be able to pop 32c/64t in one socket!!!

Dont need 7nm. It was already announced that 32c/64t will be coming with the server segment, same socket.
If you're talking about bringing 32c to HEDT, well, remains to be seen if server CPU can be plopped into HEDT motherboard since its the same socket, much like how highest end intel server CPU can be plopped into an X99 HEDT motherboard and work fine because its the same socket.

Yes! This is where I am heading for my next upgrade
Thinking I might invest in AMD too... should have done it a while back but was not able then.

Certainly as you saw they are going to be focusing, in a large part, on the 1 CPU server market which is one of the biggest markets they can fill with their high core high performance EPYC CPU. They talked about their server CPU's being "feature" unrestricted in a number of areas, almost hinting that they might even be clock unrestricted of course leaving me with some hope that they will be fully unlocked like their Ryzen CPUs that they likened to.

Why? Are you saying that you can only own one or the other? Why not have both, if you can afford it?
Damn, I am not sure if I should feel bad for the people who got the 1800x so soon. I wonder how many will jump to one of these.

Oh man, and I just spent a ton of money on a Ryzen 7 system. Really surprised by the release date - summer is right around the corner, after all. There's also Vega next month to consider. I have to say, this is shaping up to be quite a year for the enthusiasts (shut up, wallet! you're fine)

I don't exactly need 16 cores atm
also the upcoming setup will cost quite a bit more

Not gamers. But it will make wonderful workstations.
