AMD announced that the Gen2 AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, with 16-cores and 32-threads, is now available for purchase. At $899, the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X delivers up to 41 percent more multi-threaded performance than the Core i9-7900X.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper “X” series is designed for prosumers, enthusiasts, and multitasking gamers, and now with 2^nd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, AMD ups the ante with significant technology advancements and higher clockspeeds than ever before. Not only that, but the incredible X399 platform – the only solution for users who need the most I/O and exclusive ECC memory support on desktop – gets even better with StoreMI storage acceleration technology.

We have a review available on this processor, right here.

$899 = EUR 771.89
771.89 * 1.2 (20% VAT) ~= EUR 926

USD prices never include State and Local taxes which, combined, can range from 0% to 10%
