AMD started selling CPU Ryzen Threadripper 1900X

The peak CPU frequency, thanks to technology, the XFR reaches 4.2 GHz.

AMD, as planned, on the last day of the summer gave the nod to start Junior sales processor family Ryzen Threadripper — eight Threadripper 1900X. Beginner available at relatively reasonable prices of $549 and €559 (in the United States and Western Europe, respectively) and has a maximum frequency in the collection — from 3.8 to 4.0 GHz. The peak CPU frequency, thanks to technology, the XFR reaches 4.2 GHz.

Unlike Ryzen 7 1800X with the same number of cores, Ryzen Threadripper 1900X contains a four-channel memory controller DDR4-2666 dual-channel instead of 64 and PCI Express instead of 24. Thus, 1900X better suited for compute-intensive tasks that require a large amount of memory (up to 2 TB with or without ECC), and the availability of the system many device — graphics card (s), video capture card, multiple drives with interface PCI Express, etc.

In turn, the “normal” Ryzen less latency that affects gaming performance. In addition, the processor AM4 lower the power consumption, price (10 %), and motherboards are on average more affordable.

This model is generally inferior in performance and 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 12-core Ryzen Threadripper 1920X. A delightful exception is games, where an important role plays the CPU frequency. Recall that the 1900X less than half the cache of the third level than other processors TR4, therefore, the application actively operating with the cache, the beginner is unlikely to have to taste.

Simultaneously with the release of OCTA core Threadripper the company from Sunnyvale has announced the beginning of deliveries of processors partners Ryzen PRO AM4 linings, which we mentioned at the end of June. Purchase 7 PRO 1700X Ryzen, Ryzen 7 PRO 1700, and four – and six-core CPU business class will be composed of branded systems in the collection. To those, in particular, include Dell Optiplex 5055, HP EliteDesk 705 and Lenovo ThinkCentre M715.

Compared Ryzen, Ryzen PRO models have less high frequencies. 95-watt CPU in a series of only one. The main advantages of the new family Ryzen above are the consistent components of the platform within one and a half years (so, until the spring of 2019) and the availability of CPU to order for two years. Ryzen PRO mobile APUS, AMD has promised to release in the first half of next year.
