Today AMD announced the adoption of it's Ryzen Pro Processors by OEMs and it's second generation Threadripper CPUs for the HEDT platform. Starting with the news on Threadripper, the lineup will receive a update with a new line of processors using the 12nm fabrication process which will hopefully allow better power efficiency while still increasing overall core frequency as seen on the Ryzen 2700X.

Ryzen Threadripper 2000 Series To Be Released Later This Year

Those looking to pick one up soon may be waiting for a while since while it IS being sampled to partners now it isn't ready for prime time and we should expect a Q3 launch just in time for its 1 year anniversary continuing the year to year refresh cycle. Clock speeds or any other information was not announced which is probably due to the SKUs not being finalized. In other news AMD also talked about its Ryzen Pro 2000 announcement in a press release earlier today.
