AMD Details Ryzen Threadripper X399 Platform – 16 Cores, 32 Threads, 64 PCIe Gen3 Lanes & Quad Channel DDR4 Memory
AMD today officially announced its enthusiast high-end desktop X399 platform for its upcoming 16 core, 32 thread Threadripper processors. The company’s head of computing and graphics Jim Anderson took the stage to talk about and show Ryzen Threadripper in action.
Threadripper & X399, A Colossal CPU And A Behemoth Chipset
First things first though, the speeds and feeds. AMD did not announce clock speeds or prices just yet. However, the company confirmed that there will be multiple Ryzen Threadripper processor SKUs ,the highest end of which will have 16 cores and 32 threads.
A new enthusiast X399 chipset specifically designed to tackle the high-end has also been officially introduced. This chipset will support Threadripper processors and bring a whopping 64 PCIe Gen3 lanes to the table as well as quad channel DDR4 memory support with 8 DIMMs.
AMD isn’t bifurcating its high-end platform when it comes to I/O and memory like Intel has done by limiting some of its Skylake-X processors in terms of PCIe connectivity and as well as offer Kaby Lake X parts limited to dual channel support on its X299 platform.
All Threadripper CPU SKUs on the other hand will have quad channel DDR4 support as well as the full 64 PCIe Gen3 lanes. That is 20 more lanes than Intel’s highest end Skylake-X Core i9 processors, 40 more than its 8 and 6 core Core i7 parts and an almost comical 48 more lanes compared to Kaby Lake X.
Threadripper In Action & Availability
To top the announcement off AMD showed a 16 core 32 thread Ryzen Threadripper processor in action running the same Blender sample test we first saw a few months back with Ryzen 7. Suffice to say with double the number of cores, threads and memory bandwidth this 16 core monster made quick work of the workload, finishing it in mere seconds.
Another demo that AMD showed was actually of a Threadripper processor paired with two Radeon RX Vega gaming graphics cards running Prey at 4K.

Y lo que todos estábamos esperando, datos de VEGAAMD Radeon RX Vega Launches in Late July – Dual Radeon RX Vega in Gaming and Quad Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Demoed on 16 Core Threadripper Platform
AMD has shown off two high-performance demos of their Radeon RX Vega and Frontier Edition graphics cards at Computex 2017. The demos were featured on a high-end X399 HEDT platform that was powered by a 16 core Ryzen Threadripper processor.
AMD Shows off Radeon RX Vega and Radeon RX Vega Frontier Edition Demos – RX Vega Launches at Siggraph in Late July, Frontier Edition on 27th June
While AMD isn’t sharing more details on their gaming focused Radeon RX Vega graphics card, they did test it in a live gaming demo which we will talk about in a bit. In terms of launch timeframe, the AMD Radeon RX Vega has been officially confirmed to launch on Siggraph 2017 which begins on 30 th July. So that’s a whole month after the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition which launches next month on 27th June.
The second demo was performed on dual AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics cards with 4096 SPs on each card (arranged in 64 CU). This card was shown running Prey at 4K in Ultra settings. AMD’s RX Vega demonstration was also performed on a Threadripper platform, running a 16 core, 32 thread processor. The frame rate was uncapped and no V-Sync was used since there was visible tearing during the demo. AMD has announced that Radeon RX Vega graphics cards will be arriving in late July or Siggraph 2017 which means we have to wait two more months for Vega.
AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Specifications – The 4096 Core GPU Utilizing 16 GB HBM2 and HBCC
The Radeon Vega Frontier edition is the only card which provides details on the specs for the upcoming Vega GPUs.
In terms of specifications, the card comes with 4096 stream processors and clocked beyond 1550 MHz to deliver 13 TFLOPs of FP32 and 25 TFLOPs of FP16 compute performance. There’s also 16 GB of HBM2 VRAM which comes in two stacks (8 GB per stack). The graphics card has a total rated bandwidth of 480 GB/s which is lower than 512 GB/s on Fiji. It also features pixel fill rate of 90 GPixels/s.

AMD Radeon Vega Frontier edition will be available in June in two variants. One would be an air cooled model which comes in a nice blue industrial texture with a glowing yellow “R” emblem placed in the corner. The graphics card come with a “Radeon” label and logo on the sides and front. The back is covered by a nice blue texture backplate. The whole card is powered by a dual 8-pin connector configuration which confirms a TDP around 300W. The card is cooled by a single blower style fan that throws air out of the I/O side exhaust vents.
The second card has also been shown and comes in a brushed golden texture on the shroud. It features the same logos but those come with blue LED lighting. The card is exactly the same aside from the fact that it will feature liquid cooling as shown by the tubing extended out of the front. Some features aside from the looks of the card include:
AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Graphics Card Features:Machine learning. Together with AMD’s ROCm open software platform, Radeon Vega Frontier Edition enables developers to tap into the power of Vega for machine learning algorithm development. Frontier Edition delivers more than 50 percent more performance than today’s most powerful machine learning GPUs.
Advanced visualization. Radeon Vega Frontier Edition provides the performance required to drive increasingly large and complex models for real-time visualization, physically-based rendering and virtual reality through the design phase as well as rendering phase of product development.
VR workloads. Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is ideal for VR content creation supporting AMD’s LiquidVR technology to deliver gripping content, advanced visual comfort and compatibility needed for next-generation VR experiences.
Revolutionized game design workflows. Radeon Vega Frontier Edition simplifies and accelerates game creation by providing a single GPU optimized for every stage of a game developer’s workflow, from asset production to playtesting and performance optimization.
It was nice to see the Radeon RX Vega graphics card running a gaming demo once again but I personally think the launch is set too far away. The Radeon Vega Frontier edition launches one month earlier but it has been mentioned that the card isn’t entirely purposed for gaming. The users waiting for Radeon RX Vega will have to wait two more months to get their hands on the Radeon RX Vega series of graphics cards.
