AMD's New Threadripper 2 CPUs Are No Joke - 4 New SKUS!

2018-08-06
if you're a PC enthusiast like me it doesn't matter what company is releasing new tech new tech is always really exciting stuff and this time the exciting news is coming from the AMD side of things that's right now AMD has been closing the gap with Intel for a long time and with these new CPUs they're really going to put Intel in the squeeze for who's gonna have the best performance at these price ranges now the 2990 this is a killer CPU it's a WX CPU run with the W stands for this is their new workstation category CPUs they're gonna have two of these CPUs that are W X and then 2 X series CPUs coming out we have the 2990 WX the 2970 WX the 2950 X and the 2920 X now these are the four new CPUs that are coming out all of them feature an amazing amount of PCI lanes you're never going to have to worry about running out of PCI lanes ever again with them in fact I don't think anyone's gonna be able put that many video card your stuff and any type of system ever on planet Earth and if you're looking for an extreme beast 32 core 64 thread CPU at $17.99 so 1800 bucks for this CPU now that's really crazy stuff now these aren't the Zen 2 architecture CPUs these are Zen plus I was really hope we're gonna see some you know Zen 2 stuff but that seems to be still a little bit of delay on that but this is n+ just like the latest CPUs that we just saw that came out from AMD earlier now all of these CPUs will also run on the current x3 99 motherboards that are out there but they'll feature better DDR memory support so you're gonna have lots of support from memory huge amounts of PCI lanes and what's really crazy is that in the multi threaded single socket CPU division of the Cinebench r15 they actually broke the world record with a score of seven thousand six hundred and eighteen which was much higher than the previous score which was fifty eight twenty eight so a huge difference there now this has taken from like the current test running there might maybe some other test data to show something different but for right now there the hailing king with the CPU in this particular score so if you're a person out there and you're a content creator you know or you're a person who develops games or you just want to change your CPU and move things so one thing really good I think about these being able to be supported by the X 399 motherboards is the fact that you can now use your existing gaming motherboard if you have it change the CPU out and all of a sudden you've got yourself a killer workstation computer you can even change the memory and do some stuff there if you wanted to but you could really change your computer a lot now the entry-level thread number 29 20 acts is $649 it features 12 cores 24 threads the next CPU we see above that that's going to be the 29 50 this one's $899 this is the particular one that I want to get myself on it has 16 cores 32 threads the thread River 29 70 WX is $1,299 it features 24 cores 48 threads like I said the 2990 WX is 17 hundred and $99 it has 32 cores 64 threads now today is August 6th now pre-sales begin right now on the 2990 WX so if you're looking to get this CPU you can start pre-ordering it today also the 2950 will be available by the end of this month says August 31st is the launch date and then for the others we see later on the year including a really late date of October so if you want to wait for the latest you know the really cheapest one you'll be waiting a little longer but if you're looking for like what I'm looking for the 2950 which looks great to me you know with 16 cores 32 threads that's the perfect CPU for what I want to do I want to build a really great workstation CPU based on AMD stuff and then get the matching the same type of price and same type of lease performance things from Intel and then really have a competition between which one's better at you know rendering stuff which means taking huge files rendering them doing editing inside of different programs the speed of Hallett how it does these things how it adds effects and even probably just for shits and giggles some games even though like I said before no game out there is going to be taking you no advantage of that I don't believe there's any game that takes advantage right now at 32 core CPU with 64 threads it's just not really existing so if you've got the cash and you're impatient and you want a top-of-the-line AMD workstation CPU and you want it now whooping aid you can pre-order the twenty nine ninety WX you can do that or you can wait like me till the end of the month and get the twenty nine fifty X I think that's perfectly right in the middle for me sixteen threads I mean 16 cores 32 threads that's a perfect CPU for me I don't really think I'm gonna be doing anything from that could fully take advantage of 32 cores and 64 threads and then I don't know if I was rendering big stuff for making movies though and doing stuff like that like if I was doing 3d graphics and doing huge renderings I'm sure that CPU would be a great value to me or anybody else out there but we mainly just you know edit video and an audio and do stuff like that it'll be very interesting to see how the CPU can handle itself especially you getting something from the Intel side of the fence at the same comparable price range so I'm Eric you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow like usual down bullet like button will have all the information for these CPUs so if you want to preorder one or just check out more information we'll have it down there for you to check out so if you guys aren't subscribed please subscribe and if you don't see the videos inside of your sub box it's because you don't have the notifications button on so hey make sure you have notifications on your sub the channel and you'll see me in your inbox peace
