Kitguru uploaded a video that contains some previously unseen slides from AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 2000 series press briefing. TechPowerUp wrote an overview over here.
Tech Day slides leaked to the web by Kitguru provide a confirmation of how AMD is wiring out the additional two dies on the 24-core and 32-core Ryzen Threadripper 2000-series MCMs on the socket TR4 platform. We had speculated that because the quad-channel DDR4 memory and PCIe interfaces are wired to two diagonally-opposite dies on AMD X399 chipset motherboards; in the interest of backwards compatibility, AMD could wire out memory and PCIe from just two out of four dies on the multi-chip module, and have the two additional dies seek memory and PCIe over the InfinityFabric interfaces.
The video also contains a slide that reveals the pricing of the Wraith Ripper cooler. This one is sold by Cooler Master, it's rated at up to 250W and features some special RGB LED effects. The suggested retail price of the Wraith Ripper is $100.
