Only a day after Intel<\/a> wowed the crowd at Computex<\/a> Taipei, with\u00a0a 28-core processor, AMD<\/a> has stolen the thunder. The company has gone one better announcing its own\u00a032-core, 64-thread 2nd-gen Threadripper processor, which easily tops\u00a0what Intel promised. While Intel’s\u00a0processor is promised to be available in the Q4 of 2018, AMD’s one could hit the market earlier.\u00a0It\u2019s slated for a Q3 2018 launch.

AMD 32-core processor<\/h3>\n

The 2nd-gen AMD Threadripper\u00a0is a high-end processor\u00a0modeled on the 2nd-gen Ryzen processor,\u00a0based on the company\u2019s 12nm Zen+ architecture. It\u2019ll be available in multiple versions, with up to 32 CPU cores and 64 threads. That’s twice the core count of the top-end 1st-gen Threadripper, the 1950X,\u00a0which has 16 cores and 32 threads. The\u00a02nd-gen Threadripper will also reportedly be available in 24 CPU cores.
\nThe\u00a0Threadripper-2 will also\u00a0feature some architecture enhancements, and more importantly, will be compatible with the existing TR4 socket. This gives customers with 1st-gen\u00a0Threadripper compatible motherboards, an easy way to shift to the newer processor.\u00a0However, with presumably a higher power consumption rate, it’s likely that we’ll see new motherboards for the new CPUs, with some added features.

\n 
\nIntel’s\u00a0yet unnamed\u00a0CPU<\/a>, meanwhile, is a\u00a0single-socket processor with 28 cores and 56 cores, and running\u00a0at a massive 5GHz across all cores. That’s a\u00a010-core, 20-thread jump from its current most powerful processor, the Core i9-7980XE,\u00a0which has 18 cores and 36 threads. The new Intel processor was destined to be the most powerful CPU ever, until AMD came along a day later.<\/span>
\nIntel have now lost the core war, at least for the time being, with AMD all set to have a four-core advantage. However, the company does have a big advantage in frequency, with its 28-core processor reaching 5GHz across all cores.\u00a0This might help the Intel make up for the four-core deficit. On the other hand, if AMD’s 1st-gen Threadripper CPUs are anything to go by, the new 32-core chip\u00a0could well end up being cheaper than Intel’s 28-core CPU.
\nWith both the chips slated for a close launch, it’ll be fascinating to see them\u00a0go head-to-head. Who do you think will emerge out as the winner? Tell us in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
