AMD has just unveiled and opened preorders on its latest Ryzen Threadripper 2nd Generation processors, and they offer some seriously impressive value for money.

At the very top of the food chain is the much-rumored and leaked 32-core and 64-thread Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. AMD’s flagship high-end desktop processor starts at a 3.5GHz clock speed that can turbo up to 4.4GHz. The most astounding thing about this CPU is it only costs $1799 (about £1,380, AU$2,430) –comparatively the Intel’s 18-core Core i9-7980XE costs $1,999 (about £1540, AU$2,700).
