Details of AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X with 32 cores coming online

Screenshots have surfaced online detailing the Threadripper 2990X. The processor has 32 cores, can work on 64 threads and can be overclocked to a speed of just over 4GHz on all cores.

Presumably, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X is the top model of the new generation of Threadripper processors, which AMD made a pre-announcement earlier this month. At that presentation, AMD announced that there will be Threadripper processors with 24 and 32 cores, without giving further details.

The details about the Threadripper 2990X processors are online at the Chinese website Hkepc. It is a screenshot of CPU-Z and a photo of a list of results in Cinebench. The processor has a TDP of 250 watts, and is equipped with L1, L2 and L3 caches of 3, 16 and 64MB.

The Cinebench results show that the processor scores more than twice as high as the 1950X, the top model of the first generation of Threadripper processors. The higher score is due to the doubling of the number of cores, but the clock speed is also slightly higher.

AMD has indicated that the second-generation Threadripper processors will be released in the third quarter of this year. They fit in the same TR4 socket as the current versions, but manufacturers are coming up with new motherboards with modified power supply, presumably to mainly facilitate overclocking of the 24 and 32 core models. A full presentation of the new Threadripper processors will probably follow in August.

Update: The respective Cinebench scores were achieved with an overclock of the processor at a voltage of 1.38V and the use of a Corsair H150i Pro water cooler. It is not yet clear what the maximum clock speed of all cores without overclocking is.
