If you were waiting for more 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper options to become available, then today would be a great day as AMD has just announced the market availability of their 16 core, Ryzen Threadripper 2950X processor which excels its predecessor in all ways possible.
Being the second Ryzen Threadripper 2nd Gen entrant to the market, the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X checks all things that are needed for it to become a successful high-end desktop CPU. It comes with enhanced Zen cores (12nm Zen+), faster clocks out of the box, far better-overclocking capabilities and a price point that you cannot ignore.
The Ryzen Threadripper 2950X will feature the same core config as its predecessor, the 1950X. We are looking at the same 16 cores and 32 threads on two die out of the four which are enabled on this chip.
