AMD Uncovers 64-Core Threadripper 3990X

AMD takes to CES 2020 to further detail the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, the gigantic 64-core, 128-thread desktop processor first leaked back in November 2019 before the company officially announced it a month later.

Described as nothing less than "one CPU to rule them all in 2020," the Threadripper 3990X is essentially a consumer version of the Epyc 7702P server processor. As the first 64-core high-end desktop processor, it offers 128 threads of processing power and clock speeds reaching 2.9GHz with a boost of up to 4.3GHz. As such, it is aimed less at regular customers and more at professionals working on video editing and 3D rendering.

AMD Takes on Mini PCs

AMD looks to butt heads with the Intel NUCs as it announces plans to create an "open ecosystem" for OEMs wanting to create high-performance mini PCs powered by Ryzen Embedded V1000 and R1000 processors.

Initially aimed at the industrial, media, communications and enterprise markets, the machines promise an open and customisable platform complete with high-performance CPU/GPU processor with "expansive" peripheral support, in-depth security features and a processor availability clocking at 10 years. In addition, AMD already counts ASRock Industrial, EEPD, OnLogic and Simply NUc as OEM partners.

Server Chip Startup Nuvia Emerges

Nuvia, a startup looking to challenge the likes of Intel and AMD in datacentre processors, emerges from stealth following the announcement of a successful first investment round worth around $53 million.

Founded in 2019, Nuvia is the brainchild of John Bruno, Gerard Williams III and Manu Gulati, three industry veterans with experience at AMD, Apple, Arm, Broadcom and Google. Together, the three count 100 patents in the development of 20 chips at their respective companies. As such the startup can count on a rich experience in silicon design, and the founders claim they will bring "industry-leading performance and energy efficiency for the datacentre." And just as well, since Williams was chief architect on all Apple CPU designs, including the recent Lightning core in the A13.

Better-Than-Expected Q3 Results for Nvidia

Nvidia reports fiscal Q3 2020 (ending 27 October 2019) revenues reaching $3.014 billion-- a -5% Y-o-Y decline, but a slight increase compared to the $2.58bn of the previous quarter, making it better than the more pessimistic expectations of Wall Street.

"Our gaming business and demand from hyperscale customers powered Q3's results," the company says. "The realism of computer graphics is taking a giant leap forward with Nvidia RTX. This quarter, we have laid the foundation for where AI will ultimately make the greatest impact. We extended our reach beyond the cloud, to the edge, where GPU-accelerated 5G, AI and IoT will revolutionise the world’s largest industries. We see strong data center growth ahead, driven by the rise of conversational AI and inference.”
