Threadripper Thread

Disparities like this highlight how good a deal AMD’s Threadripper is, and how little the existence of that deal has changed the market over the past two years. A 16-core AMD Threadripper 2950X is selling for $859 ($53.68 per core), while the 32-core flavor is $1699 ($53 per core). Some of the reason for the lower position on the 2990WX may have to do with the scheduling issues that can hit that chip, but AMD’s 16-core Threadripper CPUs have per-core prices that should have left them eating Xeon’s lunch — if core pricing was what drove the market. The fact that Intel continues to ship Xeons with far higher pricing than Threadripper is evidence that AMD hasn’t had a lot of luck in prying high-end workstation buyers out of Intel’s ecosystem yet.
