AMD will launch the world’s first 64-core CPU for desktop computers in 2020.

AMD Threadripper 3990X

AMD has confirmed that it will deliver a 64-core part for its Threadripper platform next year. The CPU will feature 128-threads and 288 MB of total cache (L2+L3). The CPU is likely to cost much more than 3970X (which will be available starting from today for 1999 USD).
