hey guys Eber here with hurricane axe and welcome back to another video I just got back from LA yesterday covering risin though AMD's rising tech day event it was a lot of fun there were a lot of product launches and as most of you are aware the RX Vega line of GPUs were finally announced so if you're interested to learn more about those GPUs I'll leave a link to that video in the description down below today we're talking through Red River and I'm actually really excited for this platform because this is Amy's response to Intel in the high-end desktop market personally this is more exciting to me than Vegas so here's what you need to know but before that a quick message from our sponsor investment source that makes a difference choose toshiba Rd 400 and DME SSDs that are incredibly fast and reliable backed by advanced warranty programs so you can focus on what matters Rd 400 check it out from the description below ok so aim D's targeting rising thread repair to customers who are primarily software developers researchers content creators and multitasking gamers if your work requires a numerous amount of course for processing a large number of data sets rendering 4k or even 8k videos streaming while also gaming thread Ripper has you covered what 204 isn't targeting are people who are only looking to game on their systems I think that's why the Rison 7 5 and 3 processors are meant for there are three processors that complete the risin thread refer family so let's start with the flagship CPU the 1950 X that's set to retail for around $1,000 this monster is sporting 16 cores with 32 threads and it features a base clock of 3.4 gears with a boost of up to 4.0 the XO far range on all three skills are about 200 megahertz higher so technically single core speeds should hit 4.2 gigahertz provided adequate cooling performance wise AMD does claim that it's up to 30% faster than the I 970 900 X and Cinebench multi-core and here's another chart showcasing different comparisons take this with the grain of salt guys because we still have to validate those results in our full performance review so stay tuned for that moving down we have the 1920 X that's priced at $800 it features 12 physical cores with 24 threads and it's cost slightly higher than the 1950 so 3.5 gigahertz versus 3.4 on the 16 core variant loose remains the same at 4.0 once again you get XF our frequency range of 200 megahertz and support for 65 PCI lanes along with quad channel memory support I should also mention that the 1950 X and 1920 X have pdps of 180 watts and are both being launched next week lastly we have the 1900 X priced at $550 which will be available on August the 31st this is an 8 core CPU supporting 16 threads and it comes with the same base and boost clock speeds as the 1800 X so 3.8 gigahertz versus 4.0 now a lot of you guys may be wondering why would someone up for this over the 1,800 X because spec wise they're almost identical at least for the most part here's why if you're looking to configure a system with multiple GPUs and nvme drives this CPU can handle that without a problem because unlike the 1800 X that sports 20 PCIe lanes and support for dual channel memory the 1900 exports up to 64 pci lanes and quad channel ddr4 so that means you won't run into any bandwidth limitations until I'm sorry did you hear that Intel here's a brief comparison as to where the 1950 X 1920 X and the 1900 stand with respective Intel skylake X CPUs this looks very promising guys and we can't wait to give you our final verdict on these new thread Ripper processors ok so most of you should be aware of the new socket tr4 mounts on these new XP 99 motherboards if you're looking for a little glimpse on the chipset I'll leave our Computex coverage where we got a chance to get our hands on experience with a few motherboards from as rock and gigabyte so I'll leave links to those in the description to sum it up expect a lot of features and we'll make sure to cover that in our thread repair performance review and the last thing that I wanted to touch base on is cooling for these new thread Ripper CPUs I mean looking at the tr4 socket alone brings a lot of questions regarding CPU die coverage and existing coolers being incompatible good news is that AMD will be including a mounting bracket for all ACE attack liquid colors including offerings from NZXT corsair thermaltake EBG etc if you're planning to use your existing air coolers you might run into compatibility issues not to us coming up with a few options that support bigger heat pipes and larger heat spreaders for efficient cooling on these monstrous chips air coolers won't be here for at least a few weeks but I might get my hands on a few of them so maybe I'll do a temperature test comparing a Iowa's vs. air coolers on these new processors if you're interested let us know so there you have it a low limps to what could potentially turn into an awesome platform for content creators developer streamers and passionate enthusiasts the red ripper completes the entire rising ecosystem and there is a cpu for pretty much everyone out there for starters rising 3 is an excellent option for gamers on a budget rise in five steps things up to the mainstream users lies in 7/4 enthusiasts and rising thread ripper for h EDT customers I mean what with hurricane X thank you so much for watching make sure to hit that subscribe button because we will have our full performance review for these new processors coming to you very shortly so yeah I guess I'll catch you all in the next one
