The chip which will be based on the 12nm FinFET process will be part of the 2nd generation Ryzen Threadripper lineup that launches in Q3 2018. > According to HKEPC who got an exclusive look at the 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper chip, the flagship part will be known as the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X. The chip would rock 32 cores and 64 threads which eclipses Intel’s Halo product which will sport only 28 cores and 56 threads. The chip tested was a B2 stepping with a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a maximum boost clock of 4.0 GHz while the precision boost overdrive clocks are rated at +200 MHz so expect up to 4.20 GHz in single core optimized workloads. This shows that AMD can still achieve very high clock speeds even when the jumped to twice as many cores as their previous flagship, the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X.
