Heavy Metal by AMD! AMD has released its new generation of Threadripper APUs following the successful launch of its second- generation Ryzen desktop APUs. The new Threadripper series not only makes incremental improvements over the last generation but also introduces Ryzen APUs with up to 32 cores and 64 threads. These new APUs are AMD’s shot at capturing the high-performance processor crown, something that will no doubt put pressure on Intel. We will be focusing on the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X in this review and establish whether this 16-core APU is worth the investment.

Last year’s Threadripper Zen architecture APUs brought a decent performance bump on previous AMD chips. These first-generation chips were built on the 14 nm FinFET fabrication process and included
the 1950X, which was the first 16-core consumer-grade AMD APU. AMD followed this in April 2018 with nine Ryzen processors built on the new Zen+ architecture, including the Ryzen 7 2700X and the Ryzen 5 2600X. Zen+ is built with 12 nm processes, which should bring significantly better performance with the same power consumption as last year’s Ryzen APUs. The new Threadripper APUs also benefit from improved cache latencies and turbo boost functionality. These second- generation chips implement Extended Frequency Range 2 (XFR2) and Precision Boost 2 (PBO), the combination of which should allow the APUs to graduate their clock frequencies as more cores are used. This should mean that these new APUs can maintain turbo clock speeds for longer than last year’s chips.
The second-generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper APUs will be available from the August 11, 2018. AMD will be releasing four Ryzen Threadripper models that are divided into two categories, the X series and the WX series. The X series is aimed at gamers while the WX series is designed with content creators and innovators in mind, with the former rated at up to 180 W thermal design power (TDP) and the latter up to 250 W TDP.
Prices start at $649, with the most expensive 32-core and 64-thread APU costing $1,799 at launch. The entry-level Threadripper APU is the Ryzen 2920X, which has 12 cores and 24 threads. This means that AMD has eliminated octa-core APUs from its Threadripper range, but the Ryzen 7 2700X fills this gap. Unfortunately, AMD has not released any budget options based on the X399 platform; last year’s Threadripper APUs should drop in price though.
The new Threadripper APUs come in stylish and elaborately designed packaging, which is impressive at first glance.
All APUs arrive without a heatsink. AMD and Cooler Master have collaborated to create the Wraith Ripper, a heatsink that is designed to cool up to 250W TDP APUs. The Wraith Ripper costs about 100 Euros (~$114).
