AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X 32-core Waves Hello from 3DMark Database

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X 32-core Waves Hello from 3DMark Database

So much stuff posted on CPUs lately, lol. Threadripper 2990X is up and coming, yesterday a German retailer leaked the official name and it's very attractive price. Today a 3DMark database entry has surfaced showing the 32-core beast.

It's one again youtuber TUM APISAK who has spotted this. He by now is known as a pretty reliable source of leaked benchmarking information. He found an entry for AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X processors within the 3Dmark database, a 32-core 64-thread processor is listed base speed of 3.0GHz, however with a boost speed of 3.8GHz. Who knows, perhaps this is an engineering sample run or running on a mobo that does not have an XFR revision 2 supporting bios. We expect a Boost at 4.0 GHz.
 

 

Above the entry, unfortunately, there's no score available. This leak alongside yesterdays price leak does confirm that a 2nd Gen Threadripper 24-core (if there will be on) could be called the 2970X and that the 32-core model is called the 2990X. Another leak already showed the processor to be able to tweak in a 4100 MHz region on all cores. Albeit with 32-cores, I'd suggest to keep things as is and let XFR2 do its magic.

As mentioned, with Threadripper Gen2 you can likely expect a refresh of the current line-up; including some new parts as the 2990X with 32c/64t. Since the gap from 16 to 32 cores is a big one, perhaps we'll see that 24 core version as well. AMD will apply the same Zen+ tweaks to the processors; including memory latency optimizations and higher clock speeds. A release and availability date has not been mentioned though AMD stated that the lineup is in the works, and we expect a Q3-2018 launch for the initial SKUs.

I didn't imagine we would move so quickly from the weak quad cores (maybe 6 in the HEDT) that Intel got us used to for so many years ... to something like this !

People are complaining that software is not designed for so many cores, that single thread performance is still so important.
Well, there's a reason for that. WHY BOTHER ?... when most people have low-core CPU's.

Now with affordable 8-cores and up to 32 possible for home users (assuming they have the $$$), I'm quite sure software vendors will start thinking more seriously on how to multi-thread their products better !

~~
Personal note: I bought my 6800K (6 cores) just 2 years ago, as the 8 and 10 cores were completely out of my budget (900+ euro for 8, and over 1600 euro for 10-core Broadwell-E). At that time the only alternative was Skylake K, basically a quad core that clocks higher than mine.
Even so the platform itself (X99) was quite expensive !

No way in hell I thought that soon there will be 16-core CPU's available for just 750 euro !!!
AMD really shook the market from it's foundation !
