So just after the tons of rumors about an even higher end "consumer" platform from AMD were going around, AMD actually went ahead and announced it.

Quote

AMD's Ryzen 7 CPUs already offer eight cores and 16 threads for those who can take advantage of as much multithreaded compute power as possible, but some folks need even more. For those power users, AMD will be introducing CPUs with up to 16 cores and 32 threads this summer, and they'll be called Ryzen Threadrippers.

Quote

AMD says it'll have more details for us at Computex in a couple weeks.

It looks like Threadripper will go straight against the higher end Skylake-X CPUs.

 

It's interesting that AMD has, just like Intel, decided to split the platforms, except that AMD has decided to make their higher end platform only make sense to consumers that need a lot of cores.

 

It'll be interesting to see the prices of these CPUs, and to see how Skylake-X vs Threadripper turns out.

 

EDIT: Note that this is not a repost, due to it being an official announcement, whereas other threads are leaks and rumors.

 

EDIT V2.0: Courtesy of @NumLock21, it seems Skroutz has accidentally leaked two of the threadripper CPUs.

Alternatively, you can view it here:

http://www.skroutz.gr/c/32/cpu-epeksergastes.html?keyphrase=threadripper

 

The main info this seems to have given us is confirmation of the core count, clock speeds, and names of the two flagship threadripper cpus, the Ryzen Threadripper 1998 and 1998x. These are both 16 core CPUs and use the "SP3r2" socket, with the 1998 being clocked at 3.2 ghz and 1998x at 3.5 ghz. Cache size as well as turbo and XFR speeds are still unknown.

 

It seems that sites like wccftech were actually accurate this time, with their leaked list showing the socket being SP3r2 and the 1998 and 1998x having base clocks of 3.2 and 3.5 ghz, respectively.

 

It'll be interesting to see if we'll get more info about Threadripper at Computex.

I'm sorry but I completely disagree: it sounds way fucking metal.

The only thing I could imagine someone would need all 32 threads for is virtual machines, So maybe some potential there. Not much beyond that unless devs quickly optimize for more, but somehow I doubt any will really optimize for even 20...

Might be useful for content creators, people doing CAD, etc. as well. Pretty much anyone that can take use of lots of threads might be interested.

Well, there's parallel computing, for instance. I have used up to 48 cores in a 6-node cluster configuration in the past, and I didn't use more simply because that was all we had (each node was dual-socket, each socket had a quad-core Xeon). I can tell you I would love to have 16 modern cores per socket to leverage on, running at "consumer clocks" rather than server clocks.

The only problem is I would need institutional funding for that, it's unlikely I will have such computer in my kitchen :P But then again, that was the case for the old cluster as well...
