So far, there is not much information yet on the Threadripper 2 processor line up. Other than the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X being the new flagship at 1509 EUR. This of course has 32-cores and 64-threads, improving upon the 1950X’ 16-core and 32-thread count. The rest of the Threadripper 2 line up will most likely include the 2950X and 2920X processors, displaying the first generation models in their original price points.
