AMD Ryzen Threadripper is far from being stuck quad-core processors, as Intel ridiculously puts it, they are the first, first, of many modular processors based on this development system.

The arrival of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors on the market poses a threat to Intel in the professional processor segment, which had the blue company exclusively because AMD had not entered that market. This situation has changed and the idea of ​​AMD is to attack Intel on all fronts, whatever it is and for now, in the market for desktop and gaming processors things are going well with the AMD Ryzen. So good is AMD's situation in the processor market that Intel has come out attacking the Threadripper directly.

From Intel it has been said that the Ryzen Threadripper processors are Glue-togethe or that they are processors stuck on the same PCB. To some extent, they are right, since as we know, Ryzen are processors made up of two CCX modules, each of these modules having four cores. We have seen that the Threadripper have eight CCX modules with four cores each and two would be disabled or not operational. Now, the future goes through what AMD has done with these processors, modularity.

We are facing a complicated moment in the industry, seeing how Intel has had problems developing 10nm and going down to 7nm does not seem like a simple mission, going down more and more in the size of the transistors, it begins to be a titanic task and that many times it gets stuck and ends up causing the need to get refried in architecture. AMD may have found an interesting solution, so as not to get bogged down and to continue offering good performance and is launching modular processors or what is the same, several processors in the same HIS, with communication between them.

Infinity Fabric is the system developed by AMD for these to communicate, although it is true that it is not the perfect solution, since it sometimes generates a bottleneck, it can be considered a step in the right direction. NVIDIA, for its part, is working together with MIT on a communication system between processors, based on the integration of several GPUs or silicon chips in the same package and that they communicate efficiently. The chip combination, therefore, is the solution of the future in the industry.

We can see, perhaps, another problem and it is the size of the HIS. The Threadripper and EPYC processors have a significant size, being twice the size of a Ryzen. Logically, if you implement several processors in the same package, it has to grow in dimensions, yes or yes. The dimensions of Threadripper and EPY are very large, which leads us to think, are the motherboard standards sufficient to support these processors? It is not so much the dimension of the processor, which also, but the fact that the DDR4 DIMM sockets, the PCIe port and the processor are so close together, that you have to measure with a square and bevel, which processor to install, that does not touch with the rest of the components and cool well and not only that, we must take into account the convection of heat generated by the processor to the graphics card or RAM, two factors to take into account.

Be that as it may, we are sure that AMD will work with motherboard manufacturers and with anyone who wants to join in all these problems and find a solution. The only thing that matters is that AMD has opted for modular processors, NVIDIA is working on the development of a similar system, and Intel makes a fool of itself by talking about AMD processors, as if they were 'stuck', as sooner rather than later , you will end up developing some modular processor system, if you are not already developing it in secret.
