At the conference SIGGRAPH 2017 AMD, in addition to
video cards Radeon RX Vega, introduced processors Ryzen Threadripper. It is
worth noting that previously only two models of the HEDT class were reported:
the Threadripper 1950X and the Threadripper 1920X. However, during the event it
became clear that the assortment will be replenished with another available
model - the 1900X. The release of three new processors should be expected in
the next month, and in the meantime, developers told that they can offer new
chips.
All three AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors have
been supported by XFR technology (Extended Frequency Range), thanks to which it
is possible to automatically increase the frequency (beyond the Precision Boost
limit) by an additional 200 MHz. The novelties also received a PCI Express 3.0
interface controller on 64 lines. The nominal value of TDP is equal to 180 W.
At the disposal of model Ryzen Threadripper 1950X
there are 16 cores, calculated on 32 streams of commands. The novelty works
with a frequency of 3.4 GHz. Meanwhile, the working frequency of the 12-core
Ryzen Threadripper 1920X is 3.5 GHz. The model is capable of executing 24
command streams. The most affordable solution from the trinity was the eight-core
AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor with a clock speed of 3.8 GHz, capable of
performing 16 command streams. The increased frequency of all three new
products is 4.0 GHz, while the frequency of XFR is 4.2 GHz.
It is expected that as of August 10, there will be
about 20 different versions of liquid cooling systems and five air cooling
systems on sale from a wide range of manufacturers. The first to be on sale
debut a 16-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 12-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper
1920X. You can buy them on August 10 at a price of US$ 999 and US$ 799,
respectively. Meanwhile, the eight-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X will be
available later - August 31 at a price of US$ 550.
