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!).

If that TDP turns out to be true then I'll eat my own shoes! 180W for 32 cores are mightily impressive.

It's for sure a typo. TDP is 250W for 32 cores.
The price doesn't surprise me at all, sits at around 375€ per die. A 2700X costs around 350€ so AMD is keeping it very very competitive. Intel for sure is having cold feet for a long time.

I don't expect this'll be true, but how awesome would it be if they stuck with the original threadripper prices? AKA, nothing above $1000?
In reality though i expect the 32-core processor will likely be $1500ish
Just figured I'd point this out from another thread.
Sure its in Euros, but pretty close. From what I noticed, CPUs tend to be a little cheaper in the US. So - close enough.

Lets hope that gaming on that would be better than on this too many cores machine..

I expect they are following Intel, and It's 180W at base clock.

Yes, the 180W is definitely most likely the 3.4GHz base clock. But... that's still very impressive. That's about 5.6W per core (or 2.8W per thread).
On the other hand, we have to remember that TPDs are very sloppy estimates. It has more to do with what you need in order to cool the CPU, rather than how much power it actually consumes. Sometimes CPUs are much more power hungry than the TDP claims, sometimes it's much less.

"precision boost 2" and very much yes, but chances are your gaming will be while your real work gets done.
so many VM's at once ....

LOL nothing is free. this is the result of outstanding engineering and chip design. in other words it's a geek magnet.
no self respecting person in the field could resist the fascination.
so if years of work means something is admired, then yup, "free publicity".

I was referring to the Online-store, 2990X is a geek magnet and stores can just put a listing of it and get free publicity .

180 W TDP is without XFR/Boost, boosted TDP should be around 225-250.
