AMD Just Killed Ryzen THREADRIPPER For Enthusiasts!

Let's get started with AMD. Back in 2017, the company really shook the industry with their Ryzen processors. they brought CPUs with performance that rivaled intel’s Mainstream offerings while keeping the price relatively low at the time.

I mean back when the first Ryzen chips came up, Intel capped their mainstream CPU’s to 4 cores. If you wanted anything more, you had to jump to the HEDT platform which costs a heck of a lot more. The 6900K which was Intel’s 8 core at the time costs a whopping 1100$.

Now, of course, intel did counter pretty quickly and was able to stay competitive for a long time. Except when it came to their HEDT platform. The same year, AMD pulled up with the Threadripper lineup. The first generation was really impressive with up to 16 cores and 32 threads. All of that for 1000 dollars. Second generation Threadripper then popped up in 2018, and Boom, double that core count with up to 32 cores and intel’s HEDT lineup was essentially dead. The chip was pretty expensive at 1800$ but that felt like a steal.

Then 3rd gen Threadripper came up and once again, double the cores at up to 64 for the 3990WX. Now with that third generation, AMD also introduced the Pro Lineup of Threadripper CPUs. A CPU only available through OEMs.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Pro Lineup Killed the regular Threadripper. In a blog post by amd last week, the company said that they would unify both line-ups to just Threadripper pro. And the pricing was just released for these models. It's rough. With the third generation, 24 cores were 1400$. That’s the 3960X Now with the pro models, It's 2400$. Want a 32-core? Last gen it was 2000$, now it's 3300. How about the massive 64 core? It used to be 3990$, Now 6500 dollars. Basically, you’re paying just below the price of an EPYC CPU. I mean, technically some EPYC cpu’s that have 64 cores are even cheaper than their Epyc counterpart.
