Today AMD is formally going to start out providing its Ryzen Threadripper Pro processors at retail, successfully ending the exclusivity cope with Lenovo on the product line. To date, Lenovo is the one firm to have provided Threadripper Pro within the Thinkstation P620 platform. In the previous few months, starting with the CES commerce present, we’ve got seen three motherboard producers showcase fashions of suitable motherboards for the retail market, and at the moment is meant to be the day that programs with these motherboards may be bought.
At the launch of the Threadripper Pro platform, AMD marketed 4 completely different fashions from 12 cores as much as 64 cores, constructed upon its Zen 2 structure and mirroring the Threadripper 3000 household of {hardware}. The Pro aspect is an improve, giving the processor eight reminiscence channels quite than 4, assist for 128 PCIe 4.Zero lanes, assist for as much as 2 TB of ECC reminiscence per CPU, and Pro-level admin instruments. In essence, typically it’s simpler to think about Threadripper Pro extra as ‘Workstation EPYC’, as these new processors are aimed on the conventional workstation crowd.

Out of the 4 processors, solely three are being made at retail – that closing 12-core processor goes to stay for particular OEM tasks solely. Pricing for these items can also be being introduced at the moment, with the 64-core mannequin sitting at $5490, the 32-core mannequin at $2750, and the 16-core mannequin at $1150.
These costs are bigger than the equal Threadripper processors by as much as 40%, regardless of our benchmarks displaying the distinction between the 64-core elements really round 3% on common. This is due to all the additional options that Threadripper Pro brings to the desk.
Motherboards from three producers will probably be made accessible: the Supermicro M12SWA-TF, the GIGABYTE WRX80-SU8-IPMI, and the ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WiFi. Prices for these motherboards are presently unknown, nevertheless we did have a brief fingers on with the ASUS motherboard which yow will discover within the hyperlink beneath.
We have already reviewed each the Threadripper Pro 3995WX and the Lenovo ThinkStation P620, which yow will discover right here:
Exactly the place and when these CPUs will begin on the standard retail locations is unclear – we do know that system integrators have been growing configurations with the {hardware} for a number of weeks now, so we would see these elements first hit the pre-built space earlier than going absolutely retail.
We are hoping to get overview items for the opposite CPUs in later this month, together with a number of of those motherboards.
Update 1: Scan within the UK is presently promoting the 64-core (£5000) and 32-core (£2500), with the 16-core (£1050) on preorder. They even have the ASUS motherboard on the market for £890.
