AMD has officially confirmed their entire Ryzen Threadripper lineup, including the Threadripper 1900X. The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X will be the fastest eight core model in the HEDT family and will feature the same number of PCIe lanes as the flagship models.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X Confirmed For $549 US - 8 Cores With Base Clock of 3.8 GHz and 64 PCIe Lanes
We can now officially confirm the specifications of three AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors. The series includes the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, 1920X and 1900X. The 1950X features 16 cores and will be the flagship model, the 1920X features 12 cores and 1900X features 8 cores. AMD is taking the fight to Intel in terms of pricing, offering higher cores and better I/O for much cheaper prices.
AMD will be pitting their Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, a $999 US processor against Intel's $999 US chip, the Core i9-7900X. The Ryzen Threadripper 1920X is also compared to the Core i9-7920X as the AMD chip offers better value. Finally, the latest addition to the family, the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X will be pitted against the Core i7-7820X. Have a look at the specifications below before we get into more details regarding performance.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16 Core $999 US Processor
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X is the flagship chip of the Threadripper X399 family. The chip features 16 cores, 32 threads. Clocks are maintained at 3.4 GHz base, 4.0 GHz boost and the XFR technology should help it gain more performance. The chip will carry 32 MB of L3 cache and 8 MB of L2 cache which totals 40 MB. There will be a total of 64 PCIe lanes available on the processor of which 60 can be used by discrete graphics cards and PCIe NVMe storage devices. The chip will cost $999 US when launched.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12 Core $799 US Processor
The second chip in the lineup is the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X which features 12 cores and 24 threads for a price of just $799 US. Intel’s 12 core chip in comparison costs $1200 US. The chip features clock speeds of 3.5 GHz base and 4.0 GHz boost. Keeping things in line and if the chip comes with the same die configuration as the 1950X, we will be looking at 32 MB of L3 cache and 6 MB of L2 cache which totals 38 MB total cache size. The chip will feature the same amount of PCIe lanes as the 1950X.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 8 Core For $549 US - Fastest AMD 8 Core Chip
The latest chip in the lineup is the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X which features 8 cores and 16 threads for a price of just $549 US. This is $50 US cheaper than Intel's Core i7-7820X which is also their octa core model. The chip features clock speeds of 3.8 GHz base and 4.0 GHz boost. Not only are speeds of this chip higher than the Ryzen 7 1800X but it also grants access to more features such as higher PCIe lanes, quad channel DDR4 memory lanes and more I/O support.
Each Ryzen Threadripper processor will come in a large and sexy container with curved edges. It seems to be made of a strong alloy material and has either a plastic or glass cover on the front which is engraved with the Ryzen Threadripper label and logo. The chip can be seen through the mirror and just like the mainstream processors, each Ryzen TR CPU will have the naming printed in clear black on the IHS which looks amazing.
The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X will feature 64 PCIe lanes and the TDP will probably remain set at 180W. The total cache will be 20 MB (16 L3 + 4 L2) which is 5% higher than the comparable 7820X processor. It's easily seen that Ryzen Threadripper crushes Intel's lineup in raw specifications and even performance data we are seeing is just mind blowing. AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1920X processors go on sale on 10th of August and will be available for pre-order starting today. The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X octa core chip will hit market shelves on 31st August.
