AMD recently updated its Ryzen Master overclocking software to version 2.14.0.3205. One crucial update stands out in the changelog: The software no longer supports Ryzen 1000, Ryzen 2000, Ryzen Threadripper 1000, and Ryzen Threadripper 2000 series.
Threadripper made its debut in August 2017, positioning AMD in the desktop enthusiast space and immediately giving Intel's Core X-series a run for its money, ultimately leading to the latter's disappearance from the market a few years later.
The flagship model of the first-generation Threadripper was the 1950X. Featuring Zen architecture, it boasted 16 cores and 32 threads, a maximum frequency of 4.0GHz, a thermal design power (TDP) of 180W, and was priced at 8,499 yuan (approximately $999).
The second-generation flagship, the 2990X, upgraded to Zen+ architecture, doubled the core count to 32 cores and 64 threads, had a maximum frequency of 4.2GHz, increased the TDP to 250W, and was priced at 13,999 yuan (approximately $1,799).
The current Threadripper flagship is the PRO 7995WX, based on Zen4 architecture. It features a whopping 96 cores and 192 threads, with a maximum frequency of 5.1GHz, and a TDP of 350W.
Remember the classic packaging of the first generation?
