Threadripper processors drop in price ahead of zen 2 launch
Table of contents:
The third generation of AMD Ryzen processors will launch on July 7, bringing up to 12 cores and 24 threads to the company's consumer-oriented AM4 platform. This effectively affects Threadripper processors.
Threadripper processors drop in price
This change will have a profound effect on the CPU market, bringing more cores to users of general-purpose desktops, while 'eliminating' some of the high-core business of the Intel X299 platform. This action also has an impact on AMD's own HEDT offerings, namely Threadripper.

With 12-core chips in AM4, the AMD X399 platform offerings are becoming somewhat irrelevant given the advantages that Zen 2 offers, both in terms of multichip connectivity and in terms of single-threaded performance. With this in mind, AMD Threadripper processors have started to drop in price in the UK, with only Threadripper 2990WX keeping their original price.
Specifications and prices in UK
AMD Ryzen Threadripper | Cores | Threads | Base Clock | Boost Clock | TDP | Original price | Actual Price |
2990WX | 32/64 | 64 | 3.0GHz | 4.2GHz | 250W | £ 1, 599 | £ 1, 599 |
2970WX | 24/48 | 48 | 3.0GHz | 4.2GHz | 250W | £ 1, 099 | £ 899 |
2950X | 16/32 | 32 | 3.5GHz | 4.4GHz | 180W | £ 809 | £ 719 |
2920X | 12/24 | 24 | 3.5GHz | 4.3GHz | 180W | £ 569 | £ 369 |
The biggest price cut, as indicated in the Scan UK store, is shown with AMD's 12-core Threadripper 2920X model , which has dropped from £ 569 to £ 369, leading to a £ 200 price reduction.. This is enough to cover most of the cost of a new AMD X399 motherboard.
Thanks to AMD's Zen 2 core design and the company's improved multidie CPU architecture, many of Threadripper's performance deficiencies have been addressed, leaving Threadripper in a strange position. However, we know that AMD has plans to launch a third generation, probably during 2020, which should double the bet in terms of the number of cores.
