AMD names prices and dates for Ryzen 3 and Threadripper
[16:27 Thu,13.July 2017 by Rudi Schmidts]
AMD today officially announced additional technical specifications, dollar rates and availability for Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen 3 Desktop CPUs. So the Ryzen threadripper for the high-end desktop market from the beginning of August in first two versions to be available. In addition to the already announced 16-core, 32-thread model, AMD also presents a 12-core, 24-thread model. Both can be overclocked, use the new Socket TR and have Quad Channel DDR4 as well as PCI Express with 64 Lanes. The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X with 16 cores for 999 US dollars has a basestact of 3.4 GHz with a Precision Boost of 4.0 GHz, while Ryzen Threadriper 1920X for 799 dollars with 12 cores a base clock of 3.5 GHz and a Precision Boost Of up to 4.0 GHz. PIC1 Intel offers for 999US dollars on its current X299 / HEDT platform "only" a 10 core processor Core i9-7900X, which allows a base clock of 3.3 GHz with up to 4.3-4.5 GHz Boost and only 44 PCI- Lanes. The next weaker Intel processor (Core i7-7820X) is for $ 599 "only" an eight-core model, which is more likely to compete with AMD's Ryzen 7 processors but offers more memory channels and PCI lanes than this AM4 processor. In this price range, AMD is probably still in August, but once a gap in the product program. But it is still rumored that several smaller threadripper models will follow in the course of the year. The largest threadripper could be a more solid base for a personal workstation, with a performance for which you had to pay the triple. Question is only whether oneWith current software can make use of this performance at all reasonable. Complex effects are increasingly demanding the GPU because the CPU and for the decoding of compressed 4K formats is usually already an 8 core processor. However, an oversized decoding unit also provides for a pleasant cut feeling and 8K is also already in front of the door. If you prefer to have a few smaller numbers, you might be more interested in the Ryzen 3 Desktop CPU, available from July 27th. The Ryzen 3 desktop processors are 4-core, 4-thread Zen-based CPUs and are available in two desktop models. Ryzen 1300X has a basestact of 3.5 GHz and Boost up to 3.7 GHz. The Ryzen 3 1200 has a basestact of 3.1 GHz and Boost up to 3.4 GHz. Prices have not yet announced AMD, but the costs
