The powerful Threadripper CPUs are the pinnacle of AMD's Ryzen processor series. They are aimed at professional content creators and enthusiasts and run on motherboards with AMD's X399 chipset. The high-end CPUs not only achieve remarkable results in benchmark programs, but are even more economical under full load than comparable Intel models. Everything about Threadripper is twice as big as the previous Ryzen CPUs: The processor has twice as many cores and twice as many memory channels. It also offers the full PCI Express equipment with 64 lanes. Four of them connect the chipset, the remaining 60 can connect up to seven PCI Express devices - for example, up to four graphics cards and three NVMe SSDs simultaneously. The other Ryzen CPUs support DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode, while Threadripper supports quad-channel DDR4 with ECC. Thanks to AMD SenseMI Technology, the processor shines with adaptable performance. AMD SenseMI automatically switches the processor to top speed when the PC needs more power for demanding tasks. So the service is available to you when you need it. At the same time, power consumption is kept low during normal operation. To get maximum performance from the Ryzen CPUs, the processors with the X suffix are equipped with the new XFR feature. XFR means that these CPUs allow fully automatic overclocking beyond the regular boost clock. The maximum cycle rate adapts to the cooling solution used, be it air, water or liquid nitrogen. With the AMD Ryzen Master Tool, which you can download for free from the AMD site, you can overclock the CPU without any problems thanks to its unlocked multiplier. In the AMD Ryzen Master you are also able to easily keep track of the temperature and much more.
