AMD revealed that it's bringing Threadripper CPUs back to high-end desktops, and Intel still doesn't have a way to compete.
AMD is putting its foot down. In what Donny Woligroski, senior processor technical marketing manager at AMD, called the “worst-kept secret” in the world of desktop processors, Team Red announced it’s bringing its wildly popular Threadripper chips back to high-end desktops. And they’re destined to be some of the best processors money can buy.
Recommended Videos The new Threadripper 7000 series is split into Pro and non-Pro parts, with the consumer parts reaching up to 64 cores and 128 threads. AMD has dominated the server market with its Epyc CPUs for years now, but in consumer desktops, AMD and Intel have been on mostly equal footing. That’s changing, as Intel doesn’t have any high-end desktop CPUs to effectively compete with AMD’s new Threadripper CPUs.
Alongside the high-end desktop chips, AMD announced six new Threadripper Pro CPUs, reaching up to 96 cores and 192 threads. These are firmly targeted at businesses, and there are some important differences between the Pro and non-Pro chips. That’s not true in the opposite direction, though. AMD says you’ll be able to take a Pro processor and slot it into a TRX50 motherboard. That means you could, with enough cash, pack a 96-core CPU into a high-end desktop. AMD says boxed versions of its Threadripper 7000 Pro CPUs will be available alongside the non-Pro models. Previously, AMD restricted its Pro chips to system builders only.
