AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs Get Prices Slashed Ahead of 2nd Gen Threadripper

Amazon recently slashed prices on the AMD Threadripper series processors and you can now pickup the flagship AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X for $699.99 shipped (review). That is the lowest price it has ever been and there are no rebates to deal with. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X is a beastly 16-core, 32-thread processor. If You don’t want to spend that much on desktop processor then you might be more interested in the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 8-core, 16-thread CPU that is now available for $299.99! That is nearly $100 lower than it has ever been on Amazon!

Threadripper 1900X has a base clock speed of 3.8GHz, a boost clock of 4.0GHz and an XFR limit of 4.2GHz. All AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs use the same X399 platform. AMD has aimed Threadripper CPUs at content creators, gamers and overclockers who want the best performance possible.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-Core/32-Thread – $699.99 shipped ($999.00 launch price)
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 8-Core/16-Thread – $299.99 shipped ($549.99 launch price)

Threadripper pricing is dropping due to the fact that AMD is getting ready to release 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper processors coming out this quarter. AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper will have a number of chips with the largest being a monster 32-core, 64-thread part rumored as being the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X. AMD will be launching their new Ryzen Threadripper 2 processors series on August 13 according to WCCFTech, which is less than a month away! We expect that processor to be well over $1000 though, so it won’t be for everyone. The Threadripper 2950X is rumored as being a 24-core, 48-thread processor and if that is around $999 things will get really interesting. The Intel Core i9-7980XE 18-core, 36-thread processor costs $2009, so AMD is delivering way more cores for less cash.
