Circulates the date of August 13 for the presentation of the second generation processors AMD Ryzen Threadripper . After the announcement at Computex in June, the stage where the company announced the doubling of hearts and threads compared to the first generation, the beginning now seems to be a matter of weeks
If the date from August 13 was confirmed, we would be about a year ago from Ryzen Threadripper 1950X showing that AMD follows the roadmap by wire and by sign. The transition to the FinFET 12 nanometer manufacturing process and the optimization of the architecture, identified by the name Zen +, will enable AMD to guarantee better performance and control consumption, even though the only way to achieve it is to use it. An increase in the number of hearts will have an impact on both these aspects.
The TDP will rise to 250 watts compared to the current 180 watts, while the hearts will go from a peak of 16 to 32. AMD has confirmed the existence of & dquo; A 32-core and 64-thread processor, but also a model with 24 cores and 48 threads . According to evidence and rumors of recent weeks, the first should be called Ryzen Threadripper 2990X, while the second could be called Ryzen Threadripper 2950X
The 2990X is expected to have a base rate of 3.4 GHz and a boost frequency of 4 GHz, with the precision supercharging boost function that could push the clock up to 4.2 GHz with single-core charges. Inside the processor, we should also find 16 MB of L3 cache and 64 MB of L3 cache, for a total of 80 MB of cache. Regarding the price, we are talking about 1500 euros, and although it is a realistic list, it is still too early to give it for sure.
As for the other model, there is no information on the specification price list of about 1000 dollars. The new Threadripper processors retain the MCM (Multi-Chip Module) design that connects more than one die via Infinity Fabric, but instead of two active Zeppelin arrays as on the first generation Threadripper we have a total of four active dice to reach 32 hearts. .

The new Threadripper processors should maintain compatibility with the first generation of motherboards X399 (TR4 socket), but will also be compatible with new solutions, for now identifiable as "X399 Refresh", designed specifically for new CPUs
So we can hypothesize (we repeat this is a hypothesis), but we will see at the beginning, that the combination of Threadripper 2000 with some old X399 motherboards can lead to margins lower OC or slightly different frequencies with the most probable charges.
