Hopefully AMD will release details on the next ThreadRipper iteration before the 3950X release in September.
If the top end ThreadRipper is just two of these glued together then there's not really any other choice for a workstation build.
But if the next ThreadRipper goes further and has 4 core complexes on a single MMU then it have insane performance.
- undersuit 7y agoI think it all depends on if ThreadRipper gets a new socket. Matisse is 2 channel DDR, Threadripper is currently 4 channel, and Rome, the new server platform, is supposed to be 8 channel. Using the Rome platform unmodified means 8 channel matching DDR4 kits for consumers. Re-using Matisse silicon glued together makes next-gen ThreadRipper into a NUMA device. Maybe AMD has an I/O die just for the low volume ThreadRipper in production. Hopefully, AMD will just harvest Rome I/O dies for ThreadRipper and tease us with 32, 48, and 64 core models that work on the existing TR4 socket.
- tracker1 7y agoI'd suspect that TR.next will be somewhere in between. The MMU for TR based closer to Epyc, while having more chiplets than Ryzen, but at close to the same clocks (higher than Epyc, less than top Ryzen, and less but faster cores than Epyc). Probably top binned from Ryzen and Epyc for chiplets, but low binned from Epyc for MMU.
