Amd threadripper 2990x will reach 4.0 ghz with the new wraith heatsinks
Table of contents:
AMD is introducing new Wraith Ripper heatsinks that will allow its flagship processor, the Threadripper 2990X to reach 4.0 GHz on all its cores without any hassle. This is an absolutely incredible feat for a processor that has no less than 32 physical cores.
Threadripper 2990X 32-core reaches 4.0 GHz on all its cores
AMD has been on a streak recently and it looks like its x86 return has not yet peaked as the company is releasing new Wraith heatsinks called Rippers that are built by Coolermaster and will allow the TR2 flagship to hit 4, 0 GHz through all cores.
4.0 GHz in such a gigantic, air-cooled processor seems to be a feat by AMD. To put this in perspective, Intel needed a phase shift heatsink (which is a step above traditional AIOs) to overclock its 28 cores at 5.0 GHz. Although 5.0 GHz requires exponentially more cooling power than 4.0 GHz, It is still impressive that AMD is doing this with stock heatsinks.
The reason AMD can do this is thanks to XFR2 technology, which is similar to the Turbo Boost implemented by Intel, but improved. The other reason is thanks to the new 12nm manufacturing process. Clearly the new heatsink is designed to handle thermal loads of over 250W with relative ease.
AMD's Threadripper 2 is officially out on August 13.
