The Monster 32 Core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X CPU: 32C/64T, rumored $1750 USD

Recently it has been reported that There’s a European retailer that has listed it (Threadripper 2990X) early for 1509 EUR, which is around $1750 USD.

Just recently it has been reported that There’s a European retailer that has listed Threadripper 2990X early for around $1750 USD. This is most likely a placeholder price, and I expect it to be more expensive than that – closer to, or over $2000.

AMD could charge $3000 for the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X and it would still be an amazing price. AMD would absolutely be challenging Intel with a $1750 price on its new 32C/64T processor. Intel doesn’t have anything close to it apart from the Xeon Platinum 8180 Processor which is a 28C/56T part that costs over $10,000. Also, forget throwing that into your older-gen motherboard and it working, which the Threadripper 2990X will do just that – they will work in current-gen X299 motherboards after a new BIOS flash.

Pricing information apart, the other point of the concern in Cyberport’s listing is the TDP rating at 180W. Now, this could be true if AMD is following Intel’s way of reporting TDP based on the base clock but we will soon get to know about this as we near launch date sometime in Q3 2018.

The Gen 2 Threadrippers — the 24C/48T 2970X and the 32C/64T 2990X are based on the Zen+ architecture similar to their desktop Ryzen brethren and thus bring with them all the goodness of the new Optimization architecture including XFR2, Precision Boost 2, and AMD SenseMI technologies. We will have to play the waiting game till AMD officially announces pricing and availability information.
