AMD blew the lid off two of its Ryzen Threadripper CPUs this morning. The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X will offer 16 cores and 32 threads clocked at 3.4 GHz base and 4 GHz boost speeds at $999, while the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X will offer 12 cores and 24 threads with a 3.5 GHz base clock and 4.0 GHz boost speeds for $799. We already know both chips will offer 64 PCIe lanes and four channels of DDR4 memory.

AMD demonstrated Threadripper performance using the 1920X compared to Intel's Core i9-7900X and its 10 cores. In Cinebench multi-threaded testing, the 1920X delivered a score of 2431, compared to the i9-7900X at 2167. In a dollar-for-dollar comparison, the $999 Threadripper 1950X turned in a Cinebench score of 3062.
