AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X: a 32-core monster Is AMD changing their naming scheme to add more SKUs? It does seem so as Threadripper 2990X makes the first appearance at HKEPC. The flagship 2990X model would sport 32-core and 64-thread configuration. This is the highest core count ever available for the consumer. The CPU-Z screenshot posted by HKEPC indicates 250W TDP, which was somewhat indicated by TR4 cooling solution manufacturers at Computex.
