At the same time, AMD will also be offering its 12C/24T Ryzen Threadripper 1920X with 3.5GHz base clock and 4.0GHz boost speed at USD 799 (about RM 3,430).
In terms of release date, AMD has scheduled them to be out in the market in early August. Of course, users should be to expect a variety of X399-based motherboards to be available at around the same time as well.
