AMD is likely going to release the the world's first 16 core, 32 thread desktop (not HEDT) CPU with the Ryzen 9 3950x if the current leaked slide deck is real. I really wonder what the Threadripper platform CPUs are going to be like if they are already releasing a 16 core product on the mainstream desktop platform. Pricing hasn't been announced. No confirmed pricing yet, but rumor is it will be $700 USD so compared to Intel's offering.
