Several upcoming AMD products have been leaked, including a 12 core Ryzen Threadripper 1920 CPU & Vega 16GB & 8GB graphics cards. So let's dive straight into the details!
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920 CPU Confirmed - 16 Core Engineering Sample Spotted
If you remember a while back, a list allegedly detailing AMD's lineup of Ryzen Threadripper CPUs which included specific product names and specs had made its way to the web. The list included 16, 14, 12 and 10 core Threadripper parts and all followed the same 19## naming scheme. Our friends over at VCZ have spotted the first confirmed Threadripper product and it follows the same 19## naming scheme that we've seen in that list a few weeks back.
The Ryzen Threadripper 1920 is a 12 core, 24 thread CPU with a base clock speed of 3.2GHz and an unknown turbo clock speed. The part was spotted inside an Alienware system, again. The first time we spotted a 12 core Ryzen was also in an Alieneware system and it was an engineering sample with the ID ZD1438A9UC9F4. It had the same 3.2GHz base clock and its turbo clock speed was 3.6GHz. This is a good indication that the 1920 will feature a similar or higher turbo clock speed.
CPU | Cores/Threads | Base Frequency | Turbo Frequency |
---|---|---|---|
AMD ZD1840A8UGAF4 | 16/32 | 3400 | 3700 |
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920 | 12/24 | 3200 | TBA |
Another chip was also spotted, but this one isn't a production ready unit yet. It's a 16 core, 32 thread engineering sample with the ID ZD1840A8UGAF4. It has a 3.4GHz base clock speed and a 3.7GHz turbo. Its predecessor had a 3.1GHz base clock and 3.6GHz turbo. The new engineering unit is noticeably faster, especially when looking at the base clocks.
The fact that we're now seeing actual production Ryzen Threadripper parts instead of just engineering samples indicates that we're getting much closer to the "summer launch" that AMD announced last week.
