AMD's new Threadripper chips clobber anything Intel is doing right now
More threads to shred.
AMD is doubling down on its Threadripper range with new offerings featuring its Zen 5 architecture. Although Threadripper never went away, its future for high-end desktops (HEDT) was uncertain for a couple of generations, as AMD refocused the brand on professional workstations with the Threadripper Pro range. Now, however, HEDT has its footing. In addition to Threadripper Pro chips reaching up to 96 cores, AMD announced a new range of Threadripper processors targeting HEDT, which can reach up to 64 cores, at Computex.
