AMD 3990X Threadripper CPU

AMD’s 3990X Threadripper ‘Monster’ Processor is coming and Intel has not an answer

AMD’s 64-core Threadripper 3990X arrives in 2020 and costs $3,990

When AMD said that the 64-core Threadripper 3990X processor would be available in 2020, the company did not intend to let enthusiasts wait.

The processor which costs $3,990 will go on sale from February 7th. It is intended for computers and jobs where more cores means saving time and money.

The company says that 3990X is the fastest processor in the world and uses the results of the Cinebench R20 as evidence. It’s several times faster than the Core i9-9900KS according to AMD testing.

But the truth is more complicated than that. While there is no dizzying frequency limited to just 2.9Ghz base and 4.3Ghz turbo, the Threadripper will be a champion due to the high number of cores.

And if an app can’t use all those cores, most likely the 3990X will lag behind. However, this suggests that Intel is suffering from AMD’s pace in very important segments such as workstation performance. That’s because Intel fails to properly produce denser 14-nanometer processors, and Threadripper is a more affordable option compared to Xeon for some professionals.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is the world’s first 64-core HEDT processor

AMD‘s third-generation Ryzen Threadripper processor line is already making significant performance improvements in the HEDT market, but AMD has not yet finished bringing improvements in this area, reports Overclock3D.

The company offers the even larger Ryzen Threadripper processor, which implements 64 cores, 128 threades and 288MB of combined L2 and L3 cache memory. AMD thus created the HEDT processor, which has twice as many cores as the Ryzen Threadripper 3970X and significantly outperforms Intel’s HEDT solutions.

So far, the company has only confirmed the combined cache size, 280W TDP and number of CPU cores. The processor is supposed to be based on AMD’s motherboard platform, the TRX40, enabling content creators to have more core than any single-socket HEDT processor to date.

AMD pointed that more information can be expected in 2020, with the Threadripper 3990X likely to be revealed during the CES 2019 fair.
