Following recently leaked details of Intel’s Core i9 enthusiast-targeted CPUs, spillage has occurred on the AMD front, revealing the alleged specs of the incoming high-end Ryzen 9 series processors.
Going toe-to-toe with Core i9, Ryzen 9 – also known as ‘Threadripper’ – will have a flagship model with 16-cores (32-threads, all ripe for the ripping). The Ryzen 9 1998X will run with a base clock speed of 3.5GHz and a boost speed of 3.9GHz, according to Wccftech.com. It’ll have a TDP of 155W.
Compare that to Intel’s top-of-the-range Core i9-7920X which will have 12-cores (24-threads) and a TDP of 140W, at least if the leaked details we saw yesterday are correct (sadly no clock speeds were revealed on this one).
The next step down in AMD’s line-up will be the Ryzen 9 1977X and Ryzen 9 1977, which are 14-core (28-thread) CPUs running at base and boost speeds of 3.5GHz/4.1GHz and 3.2GHz/3.7GHz respectively, with a TDP of 155W and 140W.
How does that compare to Intel’s second-fastest i9? The Core i9-7900X will run with 10-cores and a base clock speed of 3.3GHz with Turbo to 4.3GHz – and Turbo 3.0 to 4.5GHz, allowing a single core to be pushed further still.
