AMD also showed off Ryzen mobile design wins from ASUS, Dell, HP Inc. ![]() Threadripper 2, though, is about bragging rights, and AMD has a lot to brag about, this includes drop-in upgradability from the original Threadripper via the x399 chipset.ĪMD’s Jim Anderson reviews 2nd Gen Threadripper AMD WebcastĪMD also showcased the company’s latest 2 nd generation Ryzen mobile and desktop design wins including the Acer Predator Helios 5 notebook which features both an AMD Ryzen CPU and Vega 56 GPU. What AMD must do to really drive some volume is get into the tier 1 workstation market with Apple, Dell, HP Inc., or Lenovo, else I expect volumes to be quite low. We haven’t tested the chip yet, but undoubtedly, it will perform well on very heavily threaded workloads like video encoding and transcoding and physical rendering. This chip once puts more pressure on Intel at the high-end like the original Threadripper that released last year.ĪMD is helping to bring back excitement to a segment of the PC market that had previously been owned entirely by Intel and could arguably have been considered “flat.” I remembered a year ago, ten cores seemed like a lot for a performance chip.

The Threadripper 2 (shorthand for 2 nd Generation Threadripper) at its highest spec will have a monstrous 32 cores and 64 threads. Probably the most interesting announcement came from the high-end of the company’s desktop product portfolio with the second generation of the Threadripper high-end prosumer and workstation chip.
