Same TDP spec as the existing non-pro threadrippers - 280W.
> The real advantage of the PRO processors is that they support 8-channel memory and have more PCIe lanes.
Those are advantages yes but the other DIMM types means you can also actually exceed 256GB of RAM, which with 64-cores is definitely also a bottleneck on the existing Threadripper lineup
- PragmaticPulp 6y ago> Same TDP spec as the existing non-pro threadrippers - 280W. The current 280W TDP Threadrippers are 24, 32, or 64 core. These new Threadripper PRO parts have 280W TDP even down to 16 and 12 core parts.
