AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X with 32 cores gets listed for 1509 euros in webshop
A German web store is listing the upcoming Ryzen Threadripper 2990X processor and does so for a price of just 1509 euros. A lot of money sure, but for 32-cores, I mean that's value even at less than 50 EUR per core.
The price actually would make sense as it is 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. But this one feels plausible right? AMD released Threadripper 1950X at a suggested retail price of 999 euros, but it's now listing for 770 euros.
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 2990X is listed by the German webshop with a clock speed of 3.4 GHz and a turbo of 4 GHz and a 180 Watt rated TDP (which we doubt a little). Check 'r out and say hellooow to my future little friend! (not that I need 32-cores in my PC, but hey, bragging rights man!).

oh yeah they'll consider lowering the price at the department level in-house. i'm not being sarcastic.
but the thought will die a quick and painful death long before it gets to the V.P. level.
in all honesty, marketing would up-scale the packaging, even to the point of luxury workmanship before they would drop the price more than $100.
A decent price, for sure. The MCM approach is paying major dividends for AMD, and it looks like they are going to absolutely dominate the HEDT market this year (makes the 7980XE look wildly overpriced). I wonder if Intel will consider lowering the price of the Core i9?

I agree with all you said but this.
I'd rather go back to the age of 5 years to develop an amazing game to the BS 1 year we have now to put a new skin and charge 60€ for unfinished game with bugs and more for DLC and loot boxes. F that.
