AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 and EPYC Rome support added to AIDA64

Preliminary information on the future Castle Peak high-end desktops and AMD-based Roman Peak 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper 'Castle Peak' server processors based on Zenn 2 is based on the latest version of AIDA64. The new processors are expected to debut in the second half of 2019, offering more cores and better performance than their predecessors.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 "Castle Peak" HEDT Processors and EPYC Rome Server Get Preliminary Information Added to AIDA64

The latest version of AIDA64 (V5.99.4983 Beta) is now available for download here. The latest version of AIDA 64 adds various updates and fixes, as well as preliminary information on future processors, such as the recently announced Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 series and, more importantly, the company's Castle Peak and Rome processors. AMD. Below you will find the full release notes of the latest version before going into detail for the Castle Peak and Rome processors.

Release notes:

• The Fahrenheit option now applies to the Computer / Sensor page
• Storage Support / SMART / Disk Status / Fahrenheit Temperature Unit Pane
• Computer / sensor / display primary and secondary SSD NVMe SSD on one line
• Improved chipset information for AMD K17.3 IMC, K17.7 IMC
• Intel processor number detection for Xeon Platinum 9221, 9222
• Physical CPU Information for AMD Castle Peak, Rome
• update of JEDEC memory module manufacturer database
• corrected: Physical processor information for AMD Matisse
• repaired: chipset information for AMD K17.5 IMC

Physical CPU information refers to the design structure of future AMD processors. It represents the layout of the matrices and the structure of the processors compared to the old ones. We know that AMD's Castle Peak processors or Ryzen Threadripper 3000 processors would be similar to the EPYC Rome range, with a consistent Chiplet design in the different SKUs. We saw the same thing with the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1st and 2nd generation that were physically similar to the EPYC parts of Naples.

Now, one thing would be interesting to see if the lower end parts are likely to have fewer Zen chiplets 2 on the interposer or the 8 complete Chiplet configurations but disabled on the lower core parts. Currently, AMD only showed 8 + 1 (8 Zen 2 Chiplets + 1 14nm I / O 14 NU) and it was the same for the parts of Naples that had four dice (both with CCX) for all configurations . It remains to be seen whether there will be more configurations between Ryzen Threadripper and the EPYC Rome processors this time or not.

AMD processor roadmap (2018-2020)

Threadripper 3000 Series Processors AMD Ryzen: That's what to expect in terms of price, specifications and performance.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 family will debut in the second half of 2019. This family will be known internally as "Castle Peak" and is expected to provide leadership leadership in the HEDT market. The family will prove to be a new watermark in terms of performance and overall efficiency, while new platform features will be introduced on the TR4 nesting motherboards to bring them to the next level. We will also discuss PCIe Gen 4.0 support on these motherboards, which is already confirmed for X570 chipset-based AM4 motherboards for Ryzen 3000 series processors.

Related AMD EPYC Rome 7 nm server processors could contain up to 162 PCIe Gen 4 channels, twice as much as Intel Xeon 9200 processors

Considering that AMD would like to remain in a dominant position with the Threadripper 3000 series, we will be looking at dramatic amounts of multithreaded performance that could only improve with the added clock speeds thanks to the 7-step process node. nm. Processors will also experience major difficulties, but AMD would like prices to remain close to current levels.

If we look at the trend with the AMD jump from Ryzen Threadripper 1000 to Ryzen Threadripper 2000, we found that new processors with a base parity of the previous generation were sold at a similar price, with a reduced price of 200 to $ 300 compared to their previous price. The 1950X has become 2950X and costs US $ 200 less. The highest number of base parts was entirely at a different market level, costing the North at US $ 1,200 but, at the same time, much cheaper than their Core-X competitors.

In terms of raw performance, the new chip configuration has not yet been tested, but since it is thinner than the previous two generations and is more interconnected, the performance of the cache and latency can give a boost to the total responsiveness of the system. More recently, a list from the EEC company revealed three new Gigabyte motherboards based on the X499 chipset, most of which are part of their AORUS range. These include the following (via Videocardz):

• X499 WATERFORCE XTREME AORUS
• X499 AORUS MASTER
• X499 DESIGNARE EX-10G

This confirms that motherboard vendors are already preparing for the new Threadripper platform, which not only supports the new features offered by processors, but also enables support for PCIe 4. Ryzen Threadripper is an offer very solid in the HEDT space, which would again offer extreme core values ​​at exceptionally advantageous prices.
