AMD held an hour and a half long presentation at Siggraph in LA to officially launch their new Ryzen Threadripper CPUs and Vega GPUs. While most keynote speeches at these types of events are padded with a lot of promotional content, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su instead packed it top to bottom with plenty of actual new product announcements. She was joined by other AMD notables such as Raja Koduri, Roy Taylor and more. Some of the announcements include:
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper has been the subject of many rumours going as far back as last year. The massive CPU is the first time AMD is able to compete against Intel in the HEDT space and it is healthier than previous AMD flagship offerings. Available in a 16-core/32-thread 1950X and 12-core/24-thread 1920X, the Threadripper platform also boasts 64-lanes of PCIe 3.0. This is great news especially in comparison to Intel’s truncated platform. Best of all, even the flagship AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X will only retail for $999. This makes it much more affordable than Intel’s HEDT equivalent.
During Siggraph, AMD also announced a new 8-core, 16-threaded Ryzen Threadripper 1900X at an even more affordable $549 USD. The 1950X has a baseclock of 3.4GHz and a boost clock of 4.0GHz. This is the same boost clock as the 1920X, although that one starts a bit higher at 3.5GHz base clock. The 1900X on the other hand starts much higher at 3.8GHz and also boosts up to 4.0GHz. The 1900X will be available on August 31, while the 1950X and the 1920X will be available as early as August 10.
