[TPU] AMD's Entry-Level 16-core, 32-thread Threadripper to Reportedly Cost $849

[mac007]

AMD has recently announced that at least nine models are in preparation for their new HEDT line-up, which will, for now, feature processors with up to 16 cores and 32 threads. The entry-level 16-core chip, the Threadripper 1998, will come in at 3.20 GHz with 3.60 GHz boost, 155 W TDP, and is absent of XFR.

If recent reports hold true, this entry-level Threadripper 1998 will come in at $849. Now, let's be honest - this seems like an immensely optimistic value, undercutting even Intel's 10-core 7900X, which has been announced at $999 (in tray quantities.) That's over 6 more cores and 12 more threads for $150 less. And let's just say that AMD's IPC isn't that much lower than Intel's to justify such an aggressive undercutting, a high-volume approach to the market.

not bad... how much power it wll consume .. normally amd is more power hungry .

Amd's ryzen series are a bit more power efficient as compared to intel. Ryzen 7 1700 is a 65w processor for reference.
