At the same time the company has also launched the Ryzen Pro processors for OEMs. The Threadripper 1900X has 8 cores and 64 PCIe lanes with support for up to 7 devices simultaneously over PCIe. The processor has the same core count as the Ryzen 1800X processor but the higher lane count and its role as an upgrade path makes it a good buy for people planning to eventually get any of its bigger siblings.
