okay so at this point I get it I really do you guys are sitting there pretty much just thinking for at least the benchmarks already I mean we've known about rise and thread Ripper for some time now but anybody seems hell-bent on spoon-feed against information once every few weeks or so it really started at Computex we were wowed with a few menacing-looking x3 99 motherboards and of course AMD announced that the cpus would pack an insane 64 PCIe lanes unheard of for a desktop processor even an extreme high-end desktop processor at the time we also knew that there would be an 18 core 32 thread monster and that quad channel ddr4 memory would be on offer then more recently AMD released further details regarding the models now known as thread rip at 1950 x and 1920 x today AMD's letting a few more details out of the bag and this is why you're watching yet another thread Ripper video that talks about thread Ripper without actually having anything in hand so again sorry about that there are however a few juicy details to discuss and I can thankfully tell you guys that my review will be coming on the 10th of August so that's next Thursday all the benchmarks all the stuff you've been waiting for we'll be out then so not too long the wait now before then I will be unboxing a thread Ripper I'm extremely excited about that that'll be on the next episode of unboxing boxes later this week so stay tuned for that yeah at least now you know that the review is on the way soon the 10th of August not too long to wait now ok so let's go over some information AMD released over the weekend and is now allowing us to share with you today AMD started by saying Rison is seeing the return of innovation for high-performance pcs and while that is indeed true the success of Verizon has also allowed the company to increase their research and development budget which will see innovation continue and hopefully at an even faster rate they also say that Rison has injected excitement back into pcs and I have to fully agree with that it's really nice being out a review CPUs again than just recommend whatever it is that the blue team's offering next up we have a look at the rising road map and here we can see that once aim to execute their thread Ripper launch next week all attention will turn to the mobile AP use in the fourth quarter of this year so that's exciting indeed and it will see Tim become quite busy and also keen to check out the desktop ap use but presumably they won't be arriving till next year I thought they were going with shed super high-end desktop but so far I've only seen AMD refer to their extreme desktop platformers hey GDG which stands for high-end desktop okay so we know thread Ripper is a high-end desktop platform offering greater memory support and bandwidth along with a vastly superior connectivity and expansion thanks to all those extra PCIe lanes we also know that when compared to Intel's Core x-range thread Ripper will be very competitive in terms of pricing we even know it will come in a fancy package so that should make the unboxing experience all the more exciting moving on nothing really new was said about the 1950 X in 1920 X but aim D did release a few slides that show the kind of performance gains consumers can expect to see over the competing Intel parts in applications such as Premiere Pro and handbrake for example based on the numbers seen here the 1950 X will have the core oh nine 7900 X well and truly beaten so will be interesting to see how they compare in our review on the 10th meanwhile it looks like the 1920 X will deliver similar performance to the 17900 X at a twenty percent price saving now the new CPU to get announced here is the thread Ripper 1900 X a CPU many of us were anticipating but it's now officially been announced this is basically arising seven CPU for the X 399 platform but with a few key upgrades like the 1920 X in 1950 X the 1900 X gets quad-channel memory support and crucially 64 PCIe lanes like the Rison 7 CPUs it will boast eight cores and sixteen threads and operate at a base clock frequency of 3.8 yoghurts with a full gigahertz boost speed it will be coming in at 550 dollars u.s. which is obviously quite a hefty price premium over the base model horizon 7 1700 but again you do get it on AMD's flagship platform when compared on paper with the core i7 78 20x the 1900 X offers the same amount of cores and threads 5% more cache the same quad channel memory support but more than twice as many PCIe lanes it's also likely to cost around 10% less given the suggested retail prices AMD then moved on to show their superior performance per watt based on the blender application results and based on their testing the 1950 X was 24% faster than the quarry 970 900 X while drawing 2 percent less power from the wall and presumably they did use the same power supply for both systems there is said to be a full ecosystem of X 399 motherboards at launch and I should have models from asrock gigabyte and msi for my day 1 coverage there will also be a range of 180 watt liquid and air-cooled cooling solutions to choose from and it looks like existing coolers can be adapted to the massive thread Ripper CPUs using an AM for 2 tier 4 adapter which has been manufactured by a stack and will be supplied with a thread rep receiver use presumably though for the best results you will want a large base plate on the cooler finally at the event over the weekend AMD did have a life thread Ripper overclocking demo where they hit 5.2 gigahertz using Allen - and broke the Cinebench r15 world record with a score of 4122 points not bad eh of course on air or liquid I expect a similar Headroom to what we've already seen with horizon 7 speaking of size some interesting information surfaced this week the thread Ripper CPUs actually feature for physical dyes though two of them are disabled but I had assumed this was the case anyway given the evidence at hand but it's now been confirmed as I said in my previous thread Ripper video these CPUs pack 2 Zeppelin dies the ethic server grain chips for example use 4 of these days but like epic the Red River uses the same TR for socket and that means the CPUs have the same incredible 4000 94 pins so basically thread Ripper is an epic CPU with two of the Zeppelin dies disabled and that makes it kind of like what risin 5 1400 is - maybe like risin 7 1700 for example anyway that's going to do it for this thread Ripper update ahem glad this will be the last time I touch on the subject without actually having a CPU in hand that so I felt was worth making this video to inform you guys that there will be a five hundred and fifty dollar u.s. eight core option in the nineteen hundred X and that model will go on sale later this month so that's going to do it for this one I am going to get out of here and get back to the rise and three benchmarking overheat to do still and I'm hoping to put up a video probably after that unboxing and boxes episode that I'm so excited about but yet big rise and three benchmark video coming this week I'm your host Steve see you next time guys
