AMD sets a new time for the Threadripper 3990X 64-core / 128-thread 'disengage'

AMD has finally officially confirmed that it is developing the next Threadripper CPU model with 'unbelievable' power, and this monster will be opened in 2020 as a microprocessor. It has the world's first 64 cores for content creators, graphic designers and programmers.

Specifically, Threadripper 3990X will be AMD's first CPU with a 64-core 128-thread structure, double the 32-core and 64-threaded 'top' architecture found in the 2990WX second-generation flagship model. AMD has not yet released the exact release date or pricing details for the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, but there is one thing we have to understand for ourselves is that this chip will not be cheap. Currently the most expensive chip of the Threadripper line is priced at $ 1,999, so it can be asserted that the Threadripper 3990X will not be cheaper than $ 2,000.

According to an unofficial source, Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is likely to be launched in the CES 2020 event taking place at the beginning of the year for about $ 3,000.

In addition to the huge amount of cores and threads, this CPU model is equipped with an additional cache memory of up to 288MB and at the same time TDP of 280W. To be fair, such TDP is not enough to handle a 64-core CPU, which requires a massive cooling solution. Perhaps that's why the Ryzen Treadripper 3990X can only run at 3.00GHz and boost at 4.5GHz to maintain overall system cooling performance. In addition, Ryzen Threadripper 3990X will also own 8 chiplets based on AMD's advertising image and all processors are manufactured on 7nm process.

The launch of the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X will be a weighting affirmation of AMD's position in the processor market. In fact, the price as well as technical factors make this chip not a product targeted at the majority of common users. Anyway this will still be one of the most expected CPU models in 2020, that's for sure!
