AMD’s unrelenting attack on the desktop CPU
market continues today, with the official launch of the company's beastly Ryzen Threadripper
processors. If, by some cruel joke, you are unfamiliar with
Threadripper, it is AMD’s premium, high-end, many-core desktop
processor, that leverages the same Zen microarchitecture that debuted with the Ryzen 7 series a few months back.
The flagship chip in the initial AMD Ryzen Threadripper line-up packs
16 physical processor cores and supports 32 threads through the use of
SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading). To date, the largest number of cores
supported on standard desktop platforms, without resorting to
enterprise-class processors or dual-socket setups was 10. With Threadripper,
AMD hopes to change the desktop computing paradigm and better address
the needs of hardcore enthusiasts, content creators, and other creative
professionals with a processor equally adept at gaming as it is churning
through highly-parallel, compute intensive workloads, like 3D
rendering.
