Det er en monster CPU som AMD kommer med 29. oktober. Det er 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper og du kommer til at kunne bygge en maskine med op til 24 cores og 48 threads i én CPU. Læs mere her:

The Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX, with 24 cores and 48 threads, meets the demands of creators and innovators for the most intense workloads, while the Ryzen Threadripper 2920X delivers astounding processing power for enthusiasts and gamers with 12 cores and 24 threads.

2nd Generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper lineup:

MODEL CORES / THREADS BOOST / BASE FREQUENCY (GHZ) L3$ (MB) TDP (WATTS) PCIe® Gen 3.0 LANES SEP (USD)
AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2990WX 32/64 4.2/3.0 64 250W 64 $1,799
AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2970WX 24/48 4.2/3.0 64 250W 64 $1,299
AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2950X 16/32 4.4/3.5 32 180W 64 $899
AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2920X 12/24 4.3/3.5 32 180W 64 $649

Additionally, several software updates have been released that improve the experience and performance of the Threadripper WX processors including:

  • Game performance has been dramatically improved using Nvidia Graphics products on Ryzen Threadripper platforms. See page 13 of the 399.24 driver release notes here.
  • The Far Cry 5 Update 9, released on August 9, addressed an application bug affecting many logical processor (high thread count) products, including Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, to improve the game experience. More details can be found here.
  • The October Windows 10 update (version 1809), just released on October 2. In addition to a number of feature innovations, the update brings improved stability with products leveraging 64 or more logical processors (high thread count processors), including Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX.

Finally, the biggest update coming in October will be AMD’s introduction of the new AMD Dynamic Local Mode software for the Ryzen Threadripper WX Series processors, optimizing application performance by ensuring the most demanding threads always get preferential time on cores with local memory.

The Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX and 2990WX achieve breathtaking performance with 24 or 32 cores spread across four processor dies: two with direct access to local memory, and two with access to memory via the Infinity Fabric. There are instances where the entire application or specific workloads can achieve the best performance when they’re executed on the two CPU dies with local/direct memory access. This is where the new Dynamic Local Mode will come in with Threadripper 2970WX and 2990WX CPUs to automatically migrate the system’s most demanding application threads onto the cores with local memory access. In other words: the apps that prefer local DRAM access will automatically receive it, and apps that scale to many cores will be free to do so. We will be providing updates as launch approaches, however you can dive deeper into how Dynamic Local Mode works now in a blog post by AMD’s Robert Hallock.
