AMD continues to delight fans of their products all the new announcements. The new processor of the company called Threadripper and contains 16 cores that can process 32 data flow. This product will have to compete with Intel in the market segment of high-performance desktop computers. Rumors of a 16-core AMD processor was in the air for quite some time, but only now it became known officially.
While AMD has not published the specifications of your new processor. But we can assume that Threadripper, according to all those rumors, come together in the ring with the future 12-core processor Intel Core i9. New multi-threaded CPU will probably suit those users who do the editing and processing videos and creating three-dimensional graphics. Considering that pricing of AMD lately intended to make users with the most advantageous offer, it can be assumed that the cost Threadripper will be more attractive than that of the Core i9 and possibly even lower than the 10-core i7-6950X (worth more than $ 1,700).
