Amd lowers prices for the entire first generation threadripper

Well this was something that was going to happen hopelessly after the launch of the Ryzen Threadripper 2000 series. AMD has slashed the prices of the first generation Ryzen, with the intention of making them more attractive and correspond to what they really offer in terms of performance and efficiency.

The first generation Ryzen Threadripper lowers its prices

With the arrival of the second generation of Ryzen Threadrippe r processors, AMD reduced the prices of the first generation parts, this includes all those compatible with the TR4 socket (How could it be otherwise). In this regard, it is surprising to see the 'mythical' Threadripper 1920X for $ 399, offering 12 cores and 24 threads.

As for multithreading, the 1920X is competing with the Core i9-7900X, and considering that stores are still listing the 6-core, 12-core Core i7-7800X for about $ 390, and the 8-core i7-7820X and 16 threads for $ 469, could be a better alternative, with more PCIe tracks. AMD is taking a small hit in this segment, which is likely to force Intel to downgrade them.

1920X is available for $ 399

The 8-core, 16-wire Threadripper 1900X has dropped to $ 299. The 1900X chip still offers 64 PCIe tracks and four-channel memory support.

This seems to be the right moment to get hold of the high-end chips of the first generation Ryzen Threadripper, especially for those users who do not use the computer to get the best performance in games, but in other demanding tasks, such as editing, rendering, design, etc.
