AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX with 32 cores gets listed in Canada webshop (1850 USD)
A Canadian web store is listing a Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX processor and does so for a price of just 2399 CAD, that is 1835 USD converted. Quite a bit of money for sure, but for 32-cores, I mean that's value at less than 58 EUR per core.
The price actually would make sense as it is roughly double that of the 16-core Threadripper 1950X. Of course, with all prices that get listed prior to a release, we're not sure if it'll stick. The 32-core and 64-threads processor is based on a 12nm LP process from GlobalFoundries, also called Zen+.
The 8-core dies are based on what is called Pinnacle Ridge architecture, four of them placed on the multi-core chip package. The new 32-core processor fits into the current SP3 socket with your existing X399 motherboard, accompanied by a firmware update you should be good to go. Again, it has four eight-core dies under that heat spreader, this new 12 nm 8-core "Pinnacle Ridge" dies to bring the advantages of Precision Boost II and XFR 2.0 into play.
The Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX is listed by the webshop with product ID YD299XAZAFWOF. In the specs it is confirmed to be the 32-core part, and being listed with a 250W TDP.

For those of you wondering, the stars are to the right of the article title. They're pretty small and easy to miss. I'm not sure if you actually get to click them, so I don't know what exactly they represent. Maybe article popularity (by view count)?
Dear guru3dians tell me why all Amd threads always have more stars than Nvidia Intel ones?
Can you stop your propaganda please? Get a real proper life. And stop rating fanboyism intended.
Uh... you're not the best person to speak on behalf of fanboyism...

On topic, great cpu it seems, I can't wait for zen 2 already with new technologies, but, I can't hide the beauty of ability to use same socket as 1st Gen threadripper. Users with big pocket are surely gonna upgrade to this new baby.
where the stars at? i see no stars/ i want to give a star now!
