AMD Readies 9 Threadripper models

As the title states , AMD readies 9 models for there upcoming Treadripper lineup

 

Quote

AMD, which announced its Ryzen Threadripper HEDT processor at its 2017 Computex show, closely followed by certain motherboard manufacturers' unveiling of their compatible AMD X399 chipset motherboards; is readying nine SKUs based on the dual "Summit Ridge" MCM. This includes 10-core (3+2+3+2), 12-core (3+3+3+3), 14-core (4+3+4+3), and 16-core (4+4+4+4) models, all of which have SMT enabled, resulting in 20, 24, 28, and 32 threads, respectively; full 64-lane PCI-Express gen 3.0 root-complexes; and full quad-channel DDR4 memory interfaces. Some of these models with the "X" brand extension feature XFR (extended frequency range), which adds 200 MHz to the boost clock, if the cooling is sufficient.

These are

 

• 1998X 16c/32t 3.5ghz (3.9boost) 155w
• 1998 16c/32t 3.2ghz (3.6boost) 155w
• 1977X 14c/28t 3.5ghz (4.0boost) 155w
• 1977 14c/28t 3.2ghz (3.7boost) 155w
• 1976X 12c/24t 3.6ghz (4.1boost) 125w
• 1956X 12c/24t 3.2ghz (3.8boost) 125w
• 1956 12c/24t 3.0ghz (3.7boost) 125w
• 1955X 10c/20t 3.6ghz (4.0boost) 125w
• 1955 10c/20t 3.1ghz (3.7boost) 125W

Holy Honey Maid graham crackers!!! That's a big CPU!

 

Also, is it just me or did they seem to pick years that may have some importance in computer technology? And what about gaming's favorite year, 19XX? 

The world may never know.

So many models. I don't think that's necessary. Though it'll be interesting to see what their 10 core models are priced at.

Too bad chances of an ITX board are next to nil.

Why so many 12c options?

I don't need it, but I want it..I want a cpu the size of our dogs food bowl.

Wait, what exactly does that mean? 

Does that mean each of these cpus consists of 4 cpus?

Four dies each with X CCX's, I think.

The top 12c chip has the highest base and boost.  I'd say its a premium tax for those that want/need the extra single thread jiggahertz beyond the other offerings.

Additionally I assume that AMDs yeild on silicon that hits 4.1 is best sold there instead of 16c for a number of reasons.

those look like they will have beastly performance, i want to also see how they compare to intels i9 in terms of thermals and power.

That CPU is huge lol

 

I wonder what will you need to cool that down.

That's epyc. Threadripper has only 2 dies.

Despite this being 155W TDP, I think it will be actually easier to cool due to the huge surface area and all the heat spread across 4 dies.

Two Ryzen dies, which would mean four CCXs each having X amount of cores.

I was thinking that aswell, also AMD solders the CPU which is an extra positive point on how those will thermally perform

same concept non the less

Sure, but that fact still makes the numbers in the article wrong. Unless they're counting the sub modules within the dies.

Broadwell-E CPUs are 140W, I expect these to require around similar cooling, maybe a bit better because it's better spread around the IHS, but realistically you'll need a big air cooler like a NH-D15 or liquid cooling. But we will have to wait and see.

It would be the core count enabled in each CCX, that's how they explained Ryzen i.e. 2+2 for the 4 core model and 3+3 for the 6 core model.

That's what I'd be thinking, especially since there's a little bit of space between each die the cooling possibility should be relatively okay.

I kinda want 1955, I don't need 10c and a 8c more than enough, but I really want a HEDT platform.

12c/24t boosts to 4.1+0.2Ghz on 125W TDP?

pretty shure 4.1 its its Limit including xfr , i might be wrong tho who knows what yields they have on These Monsters

We need much bigger, yes?

Uhh the Threadripper will also have 4 dies, each having up to 4 cores each, like the Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 having two dies with up to 4 cores each.

i want prices
