Have they said anything about new Threadrippers?

• rbanffy 5y ago
  The Threadripper Pro is usually an EPYC with different warranty and a higher clock. Last time I think they were announced one day after their server counterparts. Now, with Zen 4 and Zen 4c they'll have two different single-thread performance versions to play with.

    No, the Zen 3 Threadripper was never announced. We’re now seeing announcements for the next Epyc generation with no TR Pro for the previous one.

    The silicon is the same, sure. However the socket, motherboard, and related are sadly unique. Doubly confusing is there are single socket specific Epyc chips as well. Chips like the 7313p (zen3/milan for a single socket) fit the future TR product segment perfectly, but it's shipping today and fits Epyc boards instead of the rare/expensive TR pro motherboards. Seems silly, does AMD really need two different/incompatible sockets for a 16-64 core CPU with 8 channels of DDR4-3200? It just divides the market, decreases volume per product, and makes everything more expensive. The TR (and TR pro) motherboards and CPUs are low volume speciality items, priced a a premium, and seem to have no advantages over the epyc flavor.

  Moore's Law is Dead (a very accurate leaker) said zen 3 threadripper was cancelled except maybe a limited launch of TR Pro, IIRC. Which makes sense since there are severe EPYC shortages and those are more important and profitable products. Intel doesn't have any workstation competition at the moment anyway.

  i suspect supply chain issues are at the heart of no threadripper news.
