AMD has reveal Threadripper, a 16-core, 32-string CPU that will go up against Intel in one of its key markets: high-end work area CPUs. The chip has been reputed for some time now, yet AMD at long last uncovered it at its examiner day, saying it would land by summer of 2017. The organization may have needed to stretch out beyond Intel, which will apparently divulge a since quite a while ago supposed 12 Core i9 chip and new X99 HEDT stage in the not so distant future.
AMD didn't uncover some other specialized points of interest (other than by a spilled introduction), so it's difficult to state which organization's new chips will perform best. Likewise with AMD's new Ryzen models versus Intel's high-end Core i7-6900 chips, AMD's model might be better at multi-strung friendly errands like video altering or movement graphics, yet shy of Intel's models for gaming. Knowing AMD's history, it will probably have better estimating, as well - Intel's present lead work area chip, the 10-core i7-6950X Extreme Edition, costs over $1,700, so that won't be difficult to beat.
AMD said that the chip, which utilizes the present 14-nanometer Zen engineering, is likewise accompanying an all-new HEDT stage with extended memory and transmission capacity. "Ryzen Threadripper is focused at indisputably the ultra high-end of execution in work area," said AMD Senior VP Jim Anderson. The organization will lay out more points of interest and specs for the chip one week from now.
The possibility of high-end AMD chip and graphics is extraordinary news for PC fans. With Intel's unrivaled opponent at last setting up some beneficial rivalry, it'll give customers more alternatives as well as likely drive down chip costs in general. That depends on how the chips toll against Intel, yet we ought to take in those points of interest soon.
