just the other day I was sitting at my PC minding my own business and having you think about what videos I might do next at that moment that an email from AMD came through revealing some rather unexpected detail about their upcoming thread Ripper CPUs there's also some info about the soon-to-be-released rising 3 CPUs as well but I was less interested in that it's not hard to imagine how that launch is going to turn out I'll discuss that a little bit later on anyway getting back to thread Ripper the exciting one so the highlights there included the clock speeds and the pricing I was very surprised that AMD revealed pricing information so soon I like to build hype now well in advance of a product release traditionally we sort of get the pricing a day before the review goes live so we have a couple of days to get the review ready we're trying to write the conclusion and we don't know the prices so it makes it very difficult but we have the pricing so thank you AMD the orions thread repair 1950 X and yeah it's a bit of a mouthful is set to come in at just $1000 us the same price as the core I 9 7 100x you might ask why is that a big deal well while Intel's offering a 10 core 20 thread CP at that price AMD is serving up a 16 called 32 monster at 60% more cause for the same price and they also announced some details for a thread repass 1920 X model and that's a slightly more affordable 12 core 24 thread CP for $800 us now both of these CPUs are said to operate a maximum boost frequency of four gear Hertz and have to say that's amazing news the 1950 ex sports a base frequency of 3.4 gigahertz which is still very respectable while the 1920 X should run no slower than 3.5 gigahertz I should note though that we don't know what the all core turbo frequencies are just yet and we don't know how many cores will boost to the maximum 4 gigahertz those clock speed specifications complemented what we already knew about the upcoming thread Ripper CPUs but to quickly recap each thread Ripper CPU tax to Zeppelin dies and they're the same dies you'll find in the F server grade chips they use for of course to allow for 32 cores and 64 threads each Zeppelin dye provides 32 gen 3 PCIe lanes for a total of 64 lanes so you can pretty much connect up as many graphics cards and high-speed MDMA storage devices as you wish without running into any old bandwidth of limitations without a Zeppelin die there are two CCX modules so technically thread Ripper is just to rising CPU stitch together or glued together as Intel would so eloquently put it actually glued until it's a bit strange they are using fabric II so I would believe stitching is the preferred method anyway in total there are four CCX units each offering four calls and eight threads and essentially this means you can double pretty much everything risin seven has which enables a massive 32 megabyte level 3 cache and support for quad channel memory as you might imagine sticking to rising cpus together is going to make for one massive cpu that's exactly what thread river is an absolutely massive cpu as such AMD had to design a new platform to accommodate the behemoth and that will be supported by the cunningly named x3 99 chip set the new TR 4 socket uses land grid array surface mount packaging commonly referred to as LGA and this means unlike arisin 5 and Rison 7 there are no pins on the actual CPUs rather pins have been moved over to the motherboard and this is the same method entails been using for quite a few years now however whereas Intel's latest high-end desktop CPUs utilized 2066 pins thread repair demand and incredible 4090 for pins such an extreme desktop platform demands a new name so superseding Intel's high-end desktop or h EDT we now have shed or s HC d which is short for super high-end desktop aim DS also said that the threatened 4 CPUs will become available in early August which is great news but there was no mention of a technical apart at least at this stage so this means you better buy one of Andy's super high-end desktop processors very soon for a very reasonable price but the question is should you obviously we can't really answer that question till we for Lee tester gripper but as it stands right now potential buyers do have the option to just pull the trigger on the Coraline 70 100 X and call today rather than wait for three refer and as always with a new product incoming I highly recommend you don't do that helping you hold off AMD did run a quick Cinebench r15 demo featuring both Red River models and compared the results through the Quran I know 7900 the 7 100x scored 2167 points which is consistent with my own findings I reported a score of 2,200 one points in my review and I'd say that's within the mouth margin of error it's like 2% or something the 12 core 19:20 expert had an impressive score of 2431 points and to match that the 70 100x would need to be overclocked to 4.7 gigahertz where it consumes an awful amount of power pretty much enough to embarrass your wall heater then the big guy the 1950 ax that turned in an absolutely incredible score of 3060 2 points and while breathtaking wasn't entirely surprising giving that the 1800 x manages around 1600 points still this means for workloads that do utilize or can utilize the 1950 X's many cause should be around 40% faster than the core I 970 900 X that quite frankly is a massive performance difference for a CP of the same price so should you wait a few weeks for thread Ripper before making your ultimate choice hell yeah as I see it a me really has Intel in a serious spot of bother with these high core count CPUs when it comes to gaming there's still no question of the quad core Core i7 77 ok still rules them all for now anyway this however goes beyond gaming anyone seeking a CPU with 8 cores or more probably isn't gaining or at least they're not just gaming and when we talk about 10 core CPU such as the 1700 X gaming really isn't a consideration and this is of course true for the 12 core and 16 core thread Ripper CPUs as well so if you're not gaming I know it's hard to imagine and you do require a high coil count CPU for things such as encouraging and rendering for example then you really do want as many cause as you can afford as we just saw with Cinebench Ami's Hyeok or cap 1950 X takes the 7900 X to the cleaners and again for the same price of course we are yet to catch Ripper for ourselves but given what we know about risin 70 Intel's Clorox lineup I just don't see how Intel can compete in the current high-end desktop market given their current pricing strategy as a side note I would like to know if the 12 core model features the same 32 megabyte level 3 cache as the 16 core model that wasn't made clear I assume it does but we won't know for sure until AMD confirms it they also haven't confirmed the CCX configuration for the 12 core model again I'd assume we're looking at three cores per cc X but again Amy hasn't confirmed this we also don't know what the official ddr4 memory support is yet again I'd assume gr for 2666 based of what we've seen from Verizon so far and it has been suggested that the CPUs will support an insane 1 terabytes of memory so yeah that's pretty crazy for a desktop CPU finally I'm not sure if the CPUs come bundled with a cooler or not or if existing pools can be adapted to the new sockets I'll have to wait to find out that as well finally Andy also announced the horizon 3 thirteen hundred and twelve hundred the 1300 will operate at a base frequency of 3.5 gigahertz widow to about 3.7 units while the 1200 will run at 3.1 Gigot the two above 3.4 gigahertz no pricing info was given but on D says these CPUs will be available next week on the 27th and I'll throw up a graph with a few more specs about the CPUs but basically you're looking at what I believe is a rising fire 1400 with SMT disabled anyway before rising is officially released I will be doing a simulated rise in three benchmark video to check out how these chips perform and I'll be using the rising 5 1400 with SMT disabled so there should be really no surprises there as it turns out I'd actually gathered the results about a week ago I was planning on doing the video pretty much early this week they've made the announcement so yeah didn't really go to plan and I didn't realize they'd be released the week after the announcement but whatever I'll still release my simulated benchmarks because are very telling and I believe them to be very accurate anyway that's going to do it for this one if you
