Third-gen AMD Threadripper significantly outperforms Threadripper 2990WX and Xeon W-3175X

AMD's new monster has the codename 'Sharkstooth'. This processor, based on the Zen 2 architecture, features 32 cores with multithreading support and 128 MB of L3 cache. For comparison, the top-tier 'Ripper' from the previous generation had 'only' 64 MB.

While the previous generation ran at 3000 MHz stock and up to 4200 MHz boost, the third-gen Threadripper engineering sample currently features a 2200 MHz base clock and a 4170 MHz maximum boost clock.

Keep in mind that this is just an engineering sample. Before launch, the clock speeds could improve significantly, potentially nearing the maximum frequencies of standard Ryzen CPUs.

Despite these relatively low clock speeds, the newcomer absolutely crushes the previous-gen Threadripper 2990WX and its competitor, Intel's Xeon W-3175X:

While multi-threaded performance gains were expected, the confident win in single-threaded workloads is particularly impressive and instills confidence in AMD's new HEDT processors.

AMD CEO Lisa Su also confirmed in a tweet that significantly more information about the next-gen Ryzen Threadripper processors will arrive by the end of the year:

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series is expected to launch in the second half of 2019.
