Threadripper 3960X: This AMD processor can be seen with no less than 24 cores and 48 threads

At the end of September since AMD the delay of the Ryzen 9 3950X and the new generation Threadripper was announced. The first because it would not reach the frequencies announced by AMD and the second because of TSMC's demand. Now the Ryzen Threadripper 3960X processor has been filtered, which will have 24 cores and 48 processing threads.

These new AMD processors are based on the Zen2 @ 7nm architecture, as are the Ryzen and EPYC. Castle Peak (codename) will apparently have up to three different chipsets. Only those that have compatibility with the TRX40 chipset could be supported by the current X399 motherboards. Those destined for TRX80 and WRX80 will not have this backward compatibility, according to rumors.

Little do we know about the new generation Threadripper. AMD even forgot about them for a while, causing rumors that they would no longer be manufactured. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD came out to report that these processors were going to leave, when he played.

Here you have the ones that have leaked to date:

null
Threadripper 3960X: 24 cores and 48 threads / 250W TDP
Threadripper 3970X: 32 cores and 64 threads / 250W TDP
Threadripper 3980X: 48 cores and 96 threads / 280W TDP
Threadripper 3990X: 64 cores and 128 threads / 280W TDP
The base frequency and Boost, the amount of cache and the price have not yet been revealed. AMD has not confirmed the existence of three chipsets, something that is talked about a lot. We prefer to remain cautious and wait.

Who does not have much room for maneuver is Intel. The company announced the Core-X a few days ago with a significant price reduction. Specifically these new processors in 14nm will cost half that of the previous generation.
