![]() ![]() Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series users expected an upgrade path, and they did not get it. Hopefully Threadripper and Threadripper Pro will largely be merged into a single product line, ensuring that AMD's Threadripper non-Pro customers do not get abandoned again by AMD. Thankfully, AMD's Ryzen 7000 series of Threadripper Processors have an opportunity to address the mess that is AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Product line. AMD's standard Threadripper platform has largely been unsupported since it launched, and Threadripper Pro has became AMD's HEDT focus. The company's Threadripper Pro series has only recently been updated with new Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series models, but their older Ryzen Threadripper series remains on Zen 2 with Ryzen 3000 series silicon. Additionally, AMD has also confirmed that Ryzen 7000 series processors with 3D V-Cache are also planned.Ĭurrently, AMD's Ryzen Threadripper series CPU lineup is a mess. Zen 3 processors are expected to launch next year.AMD plans to release Ryzen 7000 series Threadripper processors with Zen 4 coresĭuring the company's latest Financial Analyst Day, AMD has confirmed that they plan to release Zen 4 based Ryzen Threadripper processors in the future as part of their Ryzen 7000 series. ![]() What is confirmed though is that Zen 3 already seems to be running at a higher clock frequency compared to the second generation of Zen. We also know from AMD’s own processor roadmaps that Zen 3 is currently coming along very nicely, as the design has been finished and engineering sample processors are being created.īut according to Chiphell, the processors are now capable of running Windows without crashes or issues, but the processors’ performance isn’t known over Zen 2 (to be clear here, I mean IPC gains from one generation to the next). It’s probable (and this is a pure guess based on what we can see in the benchmark) that Sharktooth (the ThreadRipper 3000 benchmark) is for the more mainstream / prosumer Threadripper SKUs.ĬastlePeak seems to be the name of the ThreadRipper 3000 platform generically, but SharkTooth possibly refers to the more prosumer focused variant, with a different unknown codename for the Workstation/professional line that is due to launch next year. Recently there was also a benchmark leaked for a 32-core engineering sample ThreadRipper 3000 series SKU too. What isn’t clear yet is how the core count differs between the professional and mainstream line of ThreadRipper. The first product line will see a launch this year, but the ‘professional’ line (for workstations) will launch next year. Leaker ‘ Zoo’ on the infamous ChipHell has leaked that there will be two ThreadRipper product lines. For example, the 4 channel TRX40 would be up to 32 cores, while the TRX80 chipset would go up to 64 cores. I guessed that this would be segmented further by a potentially different socket (possibly physically different), but also it would potentially have different core counts too. I make a prediction in a video that there will be two lines of ThreadRipper then, one which would be 4 memory channels and another which would be 8. The TRX 40 and TRX80 are the interesting ones because it would appear that would be ThreadRipper, and the WRX80 would likely indicate Eypc (which we know has 8 memory channels). ![]() Well, recently on the USB.org website there was an interesting update – in the AMD 2019 Premium Chipset entry there were a few interesting changes compared to when I last looked (which at the time was about a week and a half ago, but now closer to two weeks). The challenge became the ThreadRipper platform and how AMD draw the marketing (and product) line between it and AM4. Marketing the AM4 platform, therefore, became about as difficult as marketing the benefits of a bottle of water to someone lost in the desert. Adobe Premiere, image editing, most development… while certainly more cores are better, for the ‘average’ usage case, 16 cores with decent IPC and clock speed should be sufficient. For a lot of usage scenarios, 16 cores is more than sufficient. The crux of the problem was that 16-cores cores for the mainstream are… well… a lot. ![]()
