Amd ryzen threadripper 1950x: 16 cores and 32 threads at 3.4 ghz

Recently the first results on the performance of a new processor of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper range, which has 16 cores and 32 threads, have been leaked. This gives us a better idea of ​​what will come this summer in the HEDT segment.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X performance and specifications

The processor that was tested is an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, which features 16 cores, 32 threads, and a base frequency of 3.4 GHz. Based on its rumored specs, the chip could hit 3.6 GHz with the Turbo Boost feature, and roughly 3.7 or 3.8 GHz using the XFR Boost.

In addition, the processor will have 32 MB of L3 cache and 8 MB of L2 cache, for a total of 40 MB.

During testing, the processor was mounted on the ASRock X399 Professional Gaming motherboard that was recently exposed at Computex 2017.

In terms of performance, the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X reached 4167 points in the single-core test, while in the multi-core test it achieved 24539 points, which points to quite high figures by the Ryzen Threadripper series.

The same processor was also compared to an Intel Xeon E5-2697A V4, which in turn incorporates 16 cores, 32 threads, and a 2.6 Ghz base frequency with Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz. In the test, a single core of the Intel Xeon E5 reached 3651 points, while in the multi-core it obtained 30450 points, making clear the fact that each of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper cores provides higher performance, although in the multi-core it lags slightly behind.
