AMD’s announcement was a big one. They’re telling us more details of the upcoming processors – 2nd generation Threadripper with the playful name “Heavy Metal” and also the 2nd generation EPYC codenamed “Rome”.
2nd Gen Threadripper
With the name “heavy metal”, AMD showed us a bizarre video that actually felt like a parody of heavy metal music to incoprorate the essence of what the 2nd generation Threadripper will be about. AMD disclosed that this new chip will be using 12nm process and will be available in Q3.
It has a total of 32 cores and 64 threads – on par with the Epyc series of chips for servers. The PCB has 4x 8-core Ryzen dies strapped together with AMD’s Infinity Fabric. It is also worth noting that the 2nd generation Threadripper can fit into the existing X399 motherboards.
With a total of 250W TDP, a much larger cooler will be needed to cool it off. Cooler Master actually showed off one of its new cooler for TR4 processors called the AMD Ryzen Wraith Ripper. It is designed in collaboration with AMD.
