New generation Threadripper will arrive in the second half of 2018

AMD celebrates the first anniversary of the Ryzen launch. The new line, of course, restored enthusiasm to the desktop CPU market. And allowed AMD to compete against Intel on an equal footing. But AMD has also done so in the server market with its Threadripper processors.

AMD wants to keep reaping success with its Ryzen processors

During the next 12 months after launch, AMD has capitalized on its initial success. And has maintained momentum. That has been achieved thanks to the monthly launch of a Ryzen product so far. These are some of the highlights of the last year:

March: Launch of Ryzen desktop processors on the market with Ryzen 7.
April: Launch of the Ryzen 5 desktop processors.
June: The Ryzen PRO desktop processor line is announced, designed to meet the demands of today’s computer-intensive workplaces and commercial-grade features.
July: The line of Ryzen desktop processors is completed with the launch of Ryzen 3 aimed at the conventional desktop market.
August: Surprised everyone with the announcement of the highest performance desktop processor of all time, Ryzen Threadripper.
October: Introduction of Ryzen Mobile processors with Radeon Vega Graphics, which includes the world’s fastest processor for ultra-thin notebooks.
February 2018: Launch of Ryzen APU, which combines high-performance Radeon Vega architecture with Zen CPU cores on a single chip.

Second generation Threadripper

AMD is not resting on its laurels but is advancing even further than 2018. Ryzen’s highly anticipated 2nd generation is about to leave, as planned for a launch in April. This new processor will be based on a Zen + architecture of 12nm. The best part is that this CPU is compatible with the existing AM4 motherboards. That means that, unlike Intel users who had to upgrade to a motherboard with Z370 chipset for Coffee Lake CPUs, Ryzen users can just continue using their AM4 motherboards.

Ryzen Threadripper is expected to arrive after the second generation of Ryzen 7/5/3 processors, during the second half of 2018. However, there is still no confirmation if it will continue to use the same TR4 socket.
