AMD Threadripper 3990X costs $ 3, 990 and will be available in February
Lisa Su was onstage to share with the world AMD's new and most powerful processor for the desktop market, the 64-core, 128-wire Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, which will retail for $ 3, 990. The processor is the most expensive in AMD's offering, but vastly cheaper than two combined 56-core, 112-core Xeon Platinum 8280s, which currently cost about $ 20, 000.
In fact, AMD targeted this processor in its performance comparison on V-Ray, where the 3990X is 30% faster than the two Xeons. In CineBench R20, the processor achieves a spectacular score of 25399.
There has never been a desktop processor with so many cores, which is a price challenge for AMD. In this sense, the $ 3, 990 that the processor costs seems logical, considering that AMD's 32-core Threadripper 3970X costs half as much.
Specifications and release date
The processor has about 64 cores and 128 threads with a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and a boost of 4.3 GHz, we do not know the frequency that it will have in all the cores. The cache is 256MB L3, 32MB L2 and 4MB L1, combined we have about 288MB cache.
