Just 4 8 core chips :
Lol! If this keeps up AMD should just release a motherboard with CPU built in! :-)
Btw I love such idea.
32GB soldered DDR4, 16 core CPU in BGA format, and soldered 1080TI 11GB card. All covered by single heatsink and two 12cm fans.
Well if AMD released it it wouldn't be a 1080 card. Why should Apple have all the soldering fun?
About 32 cores
I think Threadripper can have 4 chip design to save costs as you can have up to 4 failed cores.
Amd you crazy.
I didnt see those papers before. Its pretty clear is more scalar than intel. Those bandwiths are a good sign of things to come. I wonder what should be the limit per actual processor in soket. There are 4 nodes of 8 cores. At 38GB/s should a 32 core per node be its limit of bandwith for soket to soket interconnect?
die interconnect seems more flexible than Soket one. Its on die so its faster..but seems to me there clearly shows soket to soket is worked by pairs accessing memory and IO by pair. i assume sharing resourses as pair also.
I like threadripper and its server siblings.
Coming soon CPUs
Threadripper motherboards look amazing for quad GPU editing systems. And a very good price. I hope AMD don't decide in future to "pursue higher value products".
So actually ALL CPU will have 32 cores, but 16 cores will be disabled (same as on all 4 core CPUs) Some even tell that it'll be two completely two dies.
Capitalism in action. Yes, you can have faulty cores, but in such way it must be many configurations.
Preorders
CPUs available, useful benchmarks below
Its there. Price performance looking good. Ill buy it next year and take the shit out of my overcloked i7, let him die on heat while rendering high 8k footage with no cooling.
