The website of the Greek computer store Skroutz, has already listed the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1998X and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1998, the high-end processors from AMD that will compete against the Intel Basins Falls.

We are all looking forward to the presentation at Computex 2017 by AMD of the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors and AMD RX Vega graphics cards, which should be released by the end of next month, according to rumors. That will be in the near future, but meanwhile, the online store of the Greek Skroutz, has let us see the first AMD Threadripper processors, specifically the Ryzen Threadripper 1998 and Ryzen Threadripper 1998X, which make up the top of the range of processors for the public enthusiastic and professional.

These high-performance processors are characterized by having the new SP3r2 socket, a socket designed for these processors, larger than the current AM4 socket processors. The SP3r2 is an evolution of the socket for the AMD EPYC and is designed to support the 4094 pins of the new AMD processors. These come to compete with the Intel Basins Falls, which have the X299 chipset, while AMD, in a display of ingenuity and originality, has christened its chipset X399 (with two co ...).

FIRST FILTERED BENCHMARKS OF INTEL I9 7920X AND INTEL I9 7900X PROCESSORS

As we already knew, both processors will arrive with sixteen cores and thirty-two processing threads, an absurd nonsense of processors and threads, which will only go well for those users who are dedicated to photo or video editing or programming. We know that the Ryzen Threadripper 1998X will have a reference frequency of 3.5GHz, although we do not know its Boost mode and it will maintain the XFR, this technology developed by AMD, which for a change, works badly. We have on the other hand the 1998 Ryzen Threadripper, which works at a frequency of 3.2GHz.

[RUMOR] INTEL SKYLAKE-X AND KABY LAKE-X PROCESSOR SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES

We must say that on the other hand, Intel will launch the i9 7920X, processors with 12 cores and 24 threads, which will have to compete with AMD solutions (yes, there are twelve, not a maximum of ten for a processor invented by some experts. in lying). The important thing about all this is that we will see a nice battle in a few weeks and we will see who is the best.
