Full AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper Lineup and Availability Detailed

Over the weekend AMD officially announced more details on its Ryzen Threadripper HEDT line of CPUs. Ryzen is AMD’s true new stand-alone architecture for AMD, which is the result of more than four years of development. Right now Ryzen is powering desktops with their Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, and Ryzen 7 desktop processors. On the professional side you have server-side deployments through its EPYC line-up and Ryzen PRO will start shipping in Q3 of 2017. AMD will also be releasing mobile APUs around Q4, paired with the new Vega graphics microarchitecture.

Right now though, AMD is concentrating on Ryzen ThreadRipper, which they are pitching to developers, researchers, prosumers, creators, and even multi-tasking gamers. ThreadRipper will offer increased Compute capabilities of up to 16 cores and 32 threads, a larger memory footprint, increased I/O and storage, and support for many more PCIe lanes. To start AMD will offer three ThreadRipper models. We already knew about the $999 TR 1950X and t he $799 TR 1920X, but we have a new $549 TR 1900X, which has 8 cores, 16 threads with a 3.8 GHz base and 4.0 GHz boost.
