AMD Officially Unveils Sexy Packaging For Ryzen Threadripper HEDT X399 CPUs

It's no doubt that Intel have been caught with their hands behind their backs by AMD. As mentioned in a previous article, they have disrupted the mainstream desktop market and are soon going to do the same with the High-end desktop segment. While Intel is offering their own Core-X family on the X299 HEDT platform, AMD will be offering theirs on the X399 HEDT platform. Intel may have chips with up to 18 cores arriving in a few months but AMD is delivering very competitively priced products which are suggested to be as efficient as the mainstream parts.

At their twitter feed, AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, unveiled the official packaging of the Ryzen Threadripper CPU family. It's gorgeous and looks unlike anything we have seen before. The chip comes in a large box shaped container with curved edges. It seems to be made of a strong alloy material and has either a plastic or glass cover on the front which is engraved with the Ryzen Threadripper label and logo. The chip can be seen through the mirror and just like the mainstream processors, each Ryzen TR CPU will have the naming printed in clear black on the IHS which looks amazing.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper will be a more affordable and a very fast alternative compared to Intel's Core-X HEDT family and we can't wait to learn more about it during Siggraph 2017. AMD will also be launching Ryzen Threadripper CPUs in retail on 10th of August so be sure to set that date on your calendars if you're looking forward to purchase one. There are reports from the far East that AMD will have limited quantities of Ryzen Threadripper chips at launch so you will have to be fast to book one for purchase on launch day.
