The 2950X also slices $100 off the 1950X's price tag. At $899, this second-generation Ryzen part promises i9-7900X-beating multithreaded performance in at least some workloads—a value proposition that catapulted the original 1950X to a TR Editor's Choice award on the strength of its performance and the value of the X399 platform. We will, of course, reserve judgment until we've been able to subject all of these chips to our own test suite, but the rosy competitive picture the 1950X first painted doesn't seem likely to change much. The Threadripper 2950X will arrive at e-tail August 31.

AMD is also teasing two chips that will launch later in the year: the 24-core, 48-thread Threadripper 2970WX and the 12-core, 24-thread Threadripper 2920WX. It might seem strange for AMD not to launch a full-stack Threadripper lineup today, but the company says the Threadripper 1950X was its best-selling Threadripper in the year that chip family has been on the market. Assuming that data is correct, it makes sense for AMD to launch its most powerful (and most expensive) Threadripper yet today and follow up with the in-between parts later. The 2970WX and the 2920X will arrive sometime in October.
