AMD's Ryzen Threadripper enters its second generation. With the flagship model of the second generation, the Threadripper 2990WX, the Texans introduce a 32-core processor in the race for the crown in the high-end desktop segment (HEDT). Up to 64 PCIe 3.0 lanes are provided by the Threadripper CPUs of the 2000 series, supporting gaming systems and especially workstations with two fully connected high-end graphics cards as well as multiple NVMe PCIe SSDs. Additionally, at least 1 TB of DDR4 RAM is supported in the particularly fast quad-channel mode with native clock speeds of up to 2,933 MHz, creating the necessary memory capacity for professional applications and server functions. Depending on the motherboard, memory with significantly higher clock speeds can even be used through overclocking to extract even more performance from the Ryzen Threadripper CPU.

Key specifications

Processor family

Number of processor cores

A multi-core processor (or chip-level multiprocessor, CMP) combines two or more independent cores (normally a CPU) into a single package composed of a single integrated circuit (IC), called a die, or more dies packaged together. A dual-core processor contains two cores, and a quad-core processor contains four cores.

Max. TDP

The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, refers to the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate. For example, a laptop's CPU cooling system may be designed for a 20 watt TDP, which means that it can dissipate up to 20 watts of heat without exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the computer chip. It can do this using an active cooling method such as a fan or any of the three passive cooling methods, convection, thermal radiation or conduction. Typically, a combination of methods is used. The TDP is typically not the most power the chip could ever draw, such as by a power virus, but rather the maximum power that it would draw when running "real applications". This ensures the computer will be able to handle essentially all applications without exceeding its thermal envelope, or requiring a cooling system for the maximum theoretical power (which would cost more but in favor of extra headroom for processing power).
