The World’s Most Powerful Desktop Processor¹

Render, design, mix, edit, compose, model, and play. Empowering digital creators with the world’s most powerful desktop processor.

WORLD’S FIRST 32-CORE DESKTOP PROCESSOR²

Featuring up to 32 cores, 64 threads and 83MB of cache, the 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX processor offers power beyond the pale.

Whether you’re animating the next hit film or indulging in immersive virtual experiences, groundbreaking technology from AMD is the engine powering your dreams.

 

QUAD CHANNEL DDR4 ECC MEMORY

More memory than a band retrospective. Four memory channels of DDR4 memory and workstation standard ECC (Error Correcting Code) keeps you tight, tuned and perfectly mixed. With help behind the boards, you can lose yourself crafting mesmerizing pieces.

 

12NM PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE

Zen+ architecture, Infinity Fabric interlink, improved energy efficiency, higher clock speeds and a smarter boost algorithm enable discerning workstation connoisseurs to harness the technology capable of realizing their creative visions. Exhibit your skills with no limitations.

 

MACHINE INTELLIGENCE AT THE SILICON LEVEL

AMD SenseMI³ technology, a suite of self-aware features, analyze your system’s environment and workload to deliver the best results in every situation, so every performance is an improvement on the last. Upgraded Precision Boost 2 and XFR 2 (Extended Frequency Range) support higher multi-threaded frequencies, and new AMD StoreMI storage technology accelerates OS and application loading, so you spend less time waiting and more time creating.

 

THE ULTIMATE DESKTOP PLATFORM

AMD’s Socket sTR4 was designed with future compatibility in mind, so 2nd Gen Threadripper processors will work on existing socket sTR4 motherboards with a simple BIOS update. The forward-thinking, scalable AMD X399 platform offers unmatched I/O and expansion for serious multi-GPU and NVMe arrays. In addition, quad channel DDR4, 64 PCIe lanes, ECC support, and unlocked overclocking make the X399 a crowd-pleaser for today’s, and tomorrow’s, digital creators.

1. Testing by AMD Performance labs as of 6/26/2018 on the following system. PC manufacturers may vary configurations yielding different results. Results may vary based on driver versions used. Test configuration: AMD ‘Whitehaven’ X399 Socket sTR4 Motherboard + AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 2990WX + Gigabyte X299 AORUS Gasming9 + Core i9-7980XE. Both systems feature GeForce GTX 1080 (driver 24.21.13.9793), 4x8GB DDR4-3200, Windows 10 x64 Pro (RS3), Samsung 850 Pro SSD. "Power” defined as computational processing power as represented by the cinebench R15 processor benchmark. The Core i9-7980XE achieved an average of 3335. 2 points in the benchmark, while the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX achieved an average of 5099.3, or (5099.3/3335.2=153%) 53% faster than the Intel Core i9-7980XE. RP2-01
2. Prior to the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, the desktop processor with the most cores was the Intel Core i9-7980XE, with 18 cores. With the release of the 32-core Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, the most cores you can get on a desktop processor is now 32 cores. RP2-02
3. AMD SenseMI technology is built into all Ryzen processors, but specific features and their enablement may vary by product and platform.
