More Affordable Than Ever

Now that the 2nd generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors are out, AMD is lowering the first-generation Threadripper processor prices even further. Keep in mind that AMD already introduced massive price cuts to their 1st generation HEDT CPUs two months ago.

Now the price is more affordable than ever before to get into AMD’s high-end platform. Especially considering the X399 chipset motherboards are backwards and forwards compatible with Threadipper CPUs. This provides a significant value should users decide to upgrade CPUs later on.
