Many news sites have mentioned it already, everybody probably already knows that AMD has dropped the new Threadripper 3000 based on Zen2 from its 2019 roadmap.
Now, that seems strange. TR users are high paying fans of AMD. If they’d release the new TR 3000 Q1-2 in 2020 with Zen2+ right around the corner, it would be old news already. Not a good way to entice people to pay lots of money for a premium product, if it’s outdated six months later.
So, as someone with a 1920x bought recently/cheaply, eyes firmly fixed on Zen2 this summer, I’m quite disappointed.
Has anyone seen any articles or knows of any journalists with good contacts at AMD to get more information?
I’d say, wait for whatever AMD says at May, 27. That’s only 18 days away.
Unless you’re a shareholder this information matters little at any rate. Either AMD delivers and everyone is happy, or AMD doesn’t deliver and you may want to rethink your PC components this autumn. Always have a plan B available!
Everything else is idle speculation at this rate, and could very well be unfounded rumors from those looking to damage AMD - though more likely they are probably true (personally would say around 80% probability of truth). Always take all rumors with a good pinch of salt.
The 2950x is so good I’m not sure they need a 3950x right away. If the difference is just 4.5 to 5ghz on 16 cores that’s not huge. If instead it’s to give aib partners time to build pcie4 mothetboards … Or even 8ch mobos… that’s fine. Worth waiting for.
Strange to see this coming from an “Intel shill” I mean it was tick-tock then became tick-tock-tock then tick-tock-tock-tock in just two years. Or should we talk about the promised holy land of 10nm ?
Sorry this joke of yours looks like a bait. Please stop.
Referring to AMD recovering from Bulldozer and then flopping with VEGA?
If whataboutism doesn’t work for Intel, Nvidia, Microsoft, or Google, then it doesn’t work for AMD, either. Sorry, yet another flop from forever 2nd place.
