AMD 16 Core Threadripper Might Be Priced at $849, Competitively Priced Against Intel Core-X CPUs

Last week, AMD has announced its latest 16 Core Threadripper chip. Now it is time to unveil the price of the innovative technology. AMD is expected to price their upcoming Ryzen Threadripper very competitively against Intel's Core-X CPUs.

The latest rumors are coming from the Bitsnchips who are infamous for predicting the accurate price of the previous reports on AMD and Intel products. The team recently predicted the price of AMD 16 core Threadripper. They judged that the company might price the latest chip up to $849 which is very much competitive with Intel's Core X CPUs.

 It is obvious that AMD might price the upcoming 16 Core Threadripper close to Intel's products. The latest rumors have offered an ideal figure about AMD's chip. Although AMD didn't reveal any specification about the price, it is clear that the company will give a head-to-head competition to Intel's Core-X CPUs which are double than the expected price.

AMD has given a strong challenge to Intel's Core-X series by announcing their 16 Core Threadripper and X399 motherboard platform. The new high-end desktop platform is going to feature up to 18 cores. While Intel has released the price of its X series CPUs at Computex, AMD is still silent for the price of its 16 core chips.

AMD 16 Core Threadripper is going to feature 16 cores and 32 threads. There is also 40 MB of cache on board these chips. According to Wccftech, this will allow a mammoth amount of PCle lanes which will be up to 64. There is48 PCle lanes entirely dedicated to the graphics cards whereas Intel's X299 features a total of 44 PCle lanes and less than that would be dedicated to the graphic cards.

The BitnChips main Twitter feed suggest that the most entry level AMD 16 Core Threadripper would cost at $849. The pricing is almost half than what Intel has priced their own 16 core part which will be available at $1699. By entry level, it is expected that AND will have multiple 16 core parts with the different configuration.
