The Cyberport store in Germany has put in pre-purchase the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X with a quite reduced price for a 32-core and 64-thread processor also manufactured in 12nm lithography.
The price of this new AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X is 1.509 euros. A fairly low price for the features of this high-end processor which in Cinebench scores 6.399 points, which is a beast for a ridiculous price. We could say that this processor is the best in the market since Intel the best it has is the Intel Xeon 8180 that has a price of around 10.100 euros and reaches a score of 4.355 points that is not bad, but for that price we could wish plus.
Dissipation
This processor according to what they said in Computex should be accompanied by the Wraith Ripper, the heatsink that AMD created together with Cooler Master. The monstrosity that combined seven high quality copper heatpipes in a 'U' format and a system of large heat dissipation fins. We must remember that this processor will consume 250W which will need a powerful heatsink which is made up of many aluminum sheets and optimized not to touch the RAM modules.
Specifications
The 2990X works at a base frequency of 3,40 GHz and in turbo mode at 4,00 GHz and as I said before with a TDP of 250W which is too much. For the same reason at Computex they presented the wraith-ripper since without that, this beast could only be cooled with a very good Liquid cooling, remember that AMD uses a somewhat basic method that is to stick chips and that generates too much heat for an All in One cooling or air ventilation can expel so much hot air. Let us also remember that by not having technical specifications of the wraith-ripper you do not know the size which seems very large.
It is a bit expensive but it is still cheaper than an i9 7980XE and if it performs more in multicore which is obvious… It is worth it for those who need so much core. When Intel releases its 9th generation i8s they will surely lower the price for the competition.

I already want to see benchmarks of this GREAT CPU (Literal, it is quite big) !!
I am very excited…..

The 8180-core Intel Xeon Platinum 28 costs over € 10.000 and is 45% less powerful than the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X.
6399 points in Cinebench on AMD
4355 points in Cinebench on Intel.
The truth is that I do not see anything expensive for the option of AMD, I see that they have gloated Intel with that new cpu beast.
We all expected the price of its predecessor. Very expensive and with too high a power consumption.
With these characteristics it seems rather suitable for video and image processing. Most programs are not capable of using so many threads
If it has a price of $ 1000 like its predecessor, I would gladly buy it
