Ryzen Threadripper 2990X for Canadian $ 2,400

It looks like the premiere of the new Ryzen Threadripper 2 is fast approaching. Their representative, the Threadripper 2990X model, has just hit the popular Canada Computers store.

Despite the price itself, the offer confirmed earlier information about the specification, which appeared even earlier in another store. So we are dealing with a 32-core and 64-thread processor with a base clock of 3.4 GHz. This could go all the way to 4.0 GHz on all cores and 4.2 GHz in single-threaded operations. The whole thing is completed by as much as 80 MB of L3 cache, a four-channel memory controller and a TDP of 250 W. So we cannot have doubts about the purpose of the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X system for the HEDT market. It is worth recalling that the whole thing will be possible to cool down with traditional air cooling, and backward compatibility with the X399 chipset will be maintained.

For all this, AMD will be asking between $ 1,499 and $ 1,799. We know this from the two aforementioned offers, which allow you to pre-order for $ 1835 and ~ $ 1770 respectively. As pre-orders are more expensive than regular offers, the above-mentioned ranges seem very likely. Honestly, it’s not that much for the Cinebench test score of 6,000. Unfortunately, we still do not know what it will be like with the other models from the Ryzen Threadripper 2 series … not to mention their premiere.
