Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “AMD’s Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO Delivers Peak Power And Performance”.
They used to say you should dress for the job you want tomorrow. For workstation users, you should buy the workstation for the client you want to have tomorrow. I’M Chris Hall, I’m the director of software performance engineering for the client business at AMD. The last five years at AMD have been very interesting since the introduction of our Zen class scores. We’Ve really led the industry in power of performance efficiency and delivered a technology that scales from notebooks all the way up to workstation class processors, all with the same core design, a very balanced design both for power efficiency and to deliver the maximum performance possible. Traditionally, people have thought about workstations in two ways: there are workstation applications that are single threaded and are known to be single threaded, and there are a few applications, such as rendering where you might need a lot of calls. The thing that’s changed in recent years.
With advances in software, technology is mechanical engineers, for example, are doing a lot more simulation on their parts. Before you build a prototype before you go to the expense of building their prototype, you do a simulation on your workstation and when you’re running those simulations you need the cores. So what you need is a workstation processor that delivers you both great single threaded performance and a lot of cores to handle that complex simulation task and that’s what you get with the threadripper pro. You know. I’Ve been in this business for a long time and I’ve seen a lot of change, but still the thing that’s most exciting is when you see the reaction, a user has to the performance level we’re delivering whether it’s a software engineer who used to have to wait For an hour for their product to build, and now they only have to wait five or ten minutes or whether it’s a visual effects artist who has that time to do two or three more tweaks to that model? You know those things don’t happen by accident. They happen because we’re giving the workstation power to the creative users, one of the best things about being at AMD – is we’re giving creatives tools to let them to do work that they could never do before.
