Amd threadripper 3990x will be a beast and will arrive in 2020
Table of contents:
The AMD 3990X Threadripper is going to be the 64-core weapon that AMD will fire in 2020. We tell you about this preview of the 3rd generation Ryzen.
There is an increasing desire to know what the third generation of Ryzen processors will be like, specifically its Threadripper range for enthusiastic computers. We had information about the second generation EPYC "Rome" which had many nuclei. However, it seemed logical that AMD would launch a 64-core Threadripper at some point, and that time is 2020.
3990X, a 64-core, 128-thread monster
The specifications of this processor will leave everyone speechless because we are facing a 64-core, 128-thread chip , a total cache of 288 MB and a TDP of 280W. This has been filtered today by means of an image that reveals the main features of this great processor.
We don't know how often each core will work, but its price isn't going to be a bargain. At the beginning of the month we knew the prices of the Threadripper 3960X and 3970X, which will reach $ 2, 000. The 3990X will double the 3970X in cores and threads , so the 3990X could touch $ 3, 000.
Although the Threadrippers are focused on servers with a lot of workload, there is no reason to think that these processors will end up promoting workstations or computers for enthusiasts. The demands of the users are increasing, so soon it will be a standard to have a PC at home with more than 8 cores.
How will Intel respond?
A priori, Intel's response has to be brief and forceful. At the moment, it seems that the only counter offer they handle are the Cascade Lake-SP processors with 28 cores and that will be sold under the name of Xeon W-3175X on a different platform than the X299.
AMD is currently fiercely attacking the server sector that has always dominated Intel. The future is much more complicated with AMD EPYC and AMD Ryzen Threadripper, processors for servers and professionals.

In short, we will have to wait until next year to see the 3rd generation of Threadripper. How many of you have a Threadripper? Do you consider that the 3990X will dominate the high-end sector?
