THREADRIPPER is not EPYC - or is it? (en)

Special thanks to my Patreon supporters. Videos like this would not be possible without you guys :)

Your hair did not move once through out this video! Solid work

[isakh]

That conclusion makes perfect sense, they've left the option there to release both a 24 and 32 core Threadripper.

[StavrosAvramidis]

My assumption is than AMD mirrored the Epyc PCB to prevent compatibility between the 2

[Hardwareunboxed]

I 100% agree and I called it last year. AMD will release a 32-core TR CPU. Awesome work as usual with this video. The dummy core theory made no sense and still makes no sense ;)

[kyozon]

As you said, i also believe there might be a 32C ThreadRipper for the foreseeable future. As a 1950X owner i can only be excited for what's coming to improve this Workstation. KeyShot and V-Ray would 100% surely love all those Cores. Very interesting video as always der8auer! Great findings!

Hated by Intel, hated by AMD.... What's next? :D that's going to be really interesting hahaha luv your vids

[DerMacko]

I think those x-rays also show which dies are actually active in TR. In the TR single die pics named OL and UR are fewer vias underneath the dies than in pics UL and OR. My guess is those are the 'missing' memory channels and pcie lines from the 2 inactive chips. In EPYC every die has all the vias in place.

how does he not have more subscribers??! seriously my favorite channel. so much information and no unnecessary filler. Thank you so much for your hard work and videos, the effort and craftsmanship definitely shows

[TheBestestKitty]

I'd assume that the S32200 and D32188 are model numbers for the dyes. If the letter is different for various processors then it could indicate the processor model while the number indicates the model line, hence why I'm taking it into consideration along with the number code.

For some reasson those dots are set in a mirror way. 10:36 did you notice it..?

[TheRealBrewMaster]

Awesome work Dude, thanks a lot, I was talking about this for many months on hardware forums, really happy to see that you make a video about this

[hootis]

Did you not notice that 2 dies on the threadripper are missing like 30-50% of the pins from the CPU to the sub strait, basically exactly what was stated.

[S]

Every single point mentioned in the video is exactly what I expected from the beginning. From a production line setup/operation, development and manufacturing cost point this is the most logical and cost effective way.

AMD has been very smart with the release of it's ryzen CPUs, interesting to see where things will go.

My pipe dream would be a TR-4 based APU with vega and HBM on board, maybe two zeppelin dies, a vega die, and HBM2/3 connected with infinity fabric.

Haven't put more than a few seconds into the viability or reason why this should exist beyond being very small, but I love the thought

[RentableSocks]

IIRC, AMD originally said that the dummy dies have no "working" transistors, not necessarily no transistors period. they could be dead dies.

[adityac]

love your work and dedication . Hope to see more of your great work in 2018.
also loved your Lian Li PC-011 case. great design with a balance of FORM and FUNCTION.

4:37, thought he was going to say "2+2 is 4, - 1 thats 3" lol

[tonyhong]

So looking at the xray shots, it looks like that on the threadripper dies, the dummy dies have fewer electrical connections than the functional dies while the EPYC dies all have the same distribution of connections through out all four dies.
