Preparing the announcement of its multi-core processors for the desktop segment, Intel and AMD are so diligently "saving sensations" that create inconvenience not only to each other, but also to end customers. For example, Intel has already announced prices for all processors of the Skylake-X family, but only models with a maximum of ten cores were introduced to the market. The next step is to announce the model with 12 cores.
AMD "secretly integrates" without naming an assortment of Ryzen Threadripper processors, nor a price level, speaking only about the presence of 16 cores in the older model, and promising to present them before the end of the summer. The last month of the summer is August, and AMD does not have much room for maneuver, given Intel's readiness to introduce the 12-core Core i9-7920X. Recall that the processor Skylake-X with 18 cores Intel in general will be presented only in October, so the last word the company intends to retain. If not for the price, then at least in terms of speed.
It is known that ready-made Alienware gaming PCs based on AMD Threadripper processors can be ordered from July 27, but this date is not the announcement day of these processors, as we managed to find out. Apparently, Alienware customers will have to wait another couple of weeks, because the Ryzen Threadripper processors should debut in mid-August, about a week before the announcement of the twelve-core Core i9-7920X. Such a cunning "leapfrog schedule". Processors Ryzen Threadripper will have to go on sale immediately after the announcement. The price level is not specified yet, although there are some rumors about this, but this is the simplest characteristic that can be changed in a matter of hours before the announcement, so it's pointless to talk about prices at this stage.
