Following up on the success of the Ryzen line of processors, AMD has announced that they are preparing the release of a 16-core (32-thread) processor aptly named Threadripper.
The new CPUs are being targeted for high-end and enthusiast-grade desktop PCs, with summer being hinted as the period for release.
While servers and enterprise machines have long enjoyed the benefit of having high-core-count processors, it’s only recently that home desktops will have this much computing power.
For the time being, price and specifications remain a mystery. It would be safe to say that the 16-core Threadripper will be expensive. However, going by AMD’s history, it should still be somewhat cheaper than its Intel counterpart.
Tech Radar reports that AMD’s current top-of-the-line Ryzen 7 1800X processor costs $399 (rooughly P20,00) yet prices are already beginning to drop.
