Amd threadripper in details: 16 cores, 32 threads, 64 lanes pcie gen3 and quad channel
Table of contents:
AMD has officially announced its new line of high-end Threadripper processors for the X399 platform and that they are coming to fight with the new Intel Skylake X and Kaby Lake X. During their presentation their main characteristics have been confirmed.
AMD Threadripper officially unveiled
AMD Threadripper comes with a maximum of 16 cores and 32 threads to offer impressive multi-thread processing power, these new chips are supported by the advanced X399 chipset and a four-channel memory controller to achieve high bandwidth and by Both excellent performance in memory sensitive applications. We continue with 64 Lanes PCIe Gen3 that will allow us to connect a large number of graphics cards and NVMe storage units. All Threadrippers include the 64 Lanes PCIe Gen3 so, unlike Intel, the Sunnyvale ones do not cut their less expensive processors in this regard. This means 20 lanes more than the Skylake X, 40 lanes more than the Core i7 6 and 8 cores and almost 48 lanes more than the Kaby Lake X.
CHEAP PC Gaming Configuration: G4560 + RX 460 / GTX 1050 Ti
AMD has shown a demo of a 16-core, 32-thread Threadripper processor running the same Blender test used months ago with the Ryzen 7, the company's new monster has shown formidable performance by being able to complete the test in a few seconds. At the event, we saw another demo of a team with Threadripper and two Vega cards running the Prey game at 4K.
AMD Threadripper will be available throughout the summer.

What is dual channel and quad channel? differences and which is better
DDR4 memories feature dual channel, Quad channel, 288 pin technology and multiple speeds and latencies. We show you the best ones.
Amd ryzen 9: 16 cores, 4.1 ghz and 44 lanes pci
Features are leaked from AMD Ryzen 9, AMD's new top-of-the-range processors based on the Zen architecture.
What are the cores of a processor? and the logical threads or cores?
We explain that they are the cores of a processor. The difference between one physical and another logical and if it really is worth it.
