One chip (or 8 or 9) to rule them all - Threadripper 3990X leaks

[williamcll]

A little bit of information regarding the upcoming Threadripper 3990X has been found, however, I can't find anymore other sides on other websites:

Quote

AMD has confirmed that it will deliver a 64-core part for its Threadripper platform next year. The CPU will feature 128-threads and 288 MB of total cache (L2+L3).The CPU is likely to cost much more than 3970X (which will be available starting from today for 1999 USD).AMD did not share any details on clock speeds or launch schedule. Originally it was planned to be shown in January.

Thoughts:280 Watts isn't too bad, the EPYC 7742 has much lower clocks and is 55 Watts lower. What can Intel even do to catch up considering the NDA for the smaller 3960X and 3970X is going to be lifted soon?

One chip (or 8 )

count again

[WereCat]

This will likely be around $4k for the CPU alone.

Does the I/O chiplet count?

its a chip. i dont see why you wouldnt count it. 

[Doobeedoo]

This will be amazing, I'm excited to see some builds with this and see utilization. 

[TrigrH]

32 more cores, 30w more tdp, seems legit  (yes I know TDP is bs)

[rcmaehl]

288MB of cache.

How small are Lubuntu, DSL, and puppy linux again?

I'll guess 3.5 base clock and they keep the same boost, but you pretty much never get it, since more cores than just a couple will be running and that'll do thermal stuff.  To be fair though, if it is anything like the 3950 as far as binning compared to the 3900, it has a shot at keeping the frequencies up too.

 

Based on reviews of the 3950, 3960, 3970, I would expect it to be amazing at specific full thread count work loads, but to really be no better than the 3960 at most things since most things won't load up the majority of cores anyway (that and the slightly lower clock for more cores let the 3960 keep up with the 3970 most of the time).

 

You can see a review of the 10980, 3950, 3960, 3970 here from GN:

Oh. Hurrah. Something maybe 3 people on this forum could actually use.

At this rate, maybe they’ll even release a 128 core 3999X!

Unlikely as 64 cores 128 threads is the max even EPYC their server chips go to, and that won't be increasing with Zen 3 ethier so i don't see threadripper going beyond 64 cores until the 5000 series at the earliest.

yeah about right

Considering that the EPYC 7742 had around 20k I predict the 3990X will be around 30k

AMD please stop bullying Intel with core counts, they're already barely holding on with their 14nm+++ lineup

I'm curious if Apple would consider working with AMD.

I mean, 64 cores and maybe more than 2TB of RAM with 72 PCIe lanes would really put the Mac Pro to shame and I don't see Intel binning a 50+  core giant monolithic chip anytime soon.

I would not be surprised is Apple start moving to RISC in the not too distant future. With many packages beginning to arrive on RISC it certainly seems a possibility.

its not monolithic. its a 2 Numa node dualdie dual 28 core Chip.

with Apple having a lot of products on ARM. and having the most powerful Arm designs. that seems kinda unlikely as they allready know how to work ARM really well.

Why not have ARM laptops? MS, Adobe and many more vendors are re-writing or have already written their software for ARM. In laptops the reduced heat and power is very welcome. So if MacOS was re-written to take advantage of this why not?

my comment was about the unlikelyhood of using RISC as ARM is a way more likely candidate. so i dont see why this was the response.

ARM is a RISC based chip. I think we were getting a bit confused with the terminology. If you understand ARM stood for Acorn RISC Machine before it was renamed to Advanced RISC Machine.

They probably mistook it for RISC-V chips which are the opensource version?

Probably. To me RISC is the architecture not a brand.

Probably like this
4990X 128 cores

4980X  96  cores

4970X  48  cores

4950X  32  cores

4900X  24  cores

4800X  16  cores
