([AMD] 25 July 09:58 AM EDT AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000)


Last month [1]AMD detailed the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series as the new Zen 5 Threadrippers. After the Threadripper PRO 9000WX Series debuted this week, AMD announced today that the Threadripper 9000 series will begin hitting retailers next week.

Threadripper 9000 series availability is set to start on next Thursday, 31 July.

AMD's [2]blog post today announcing the Threadripper 9000 series also confirmed the suggested launch price. The 24-core Threadripper 9960X is expected to go for $1499 USD, the 32-core Threadripper 9970X for $2499 USD, and the 64-core Threadripper 9980X for $4999 USD.

So far all of the AMD published benchmark numbers from the Threadripper 9000 series have been under Microsoft Windows 11. It will be very exciting to see how the Threadripper 9000 series performs under Linux, stay tuned. So far from the AMD Zen 5 line-up ranging from the [3]Ryzen 9000 series to [4]Strix Halo to [5]EPYC 4005 and [6]EPYC 9005 series has been terrific performance.

New Linux Companies Hope To Get Rich Quick (#2)

Don't throw out that old Red Hat Linux 3.0 CD. A group of entrepreneurs
are hording vintage Linux items in the hopes that they will become hot
collector's items in the coming decades. The venture, called "Money Grows
On Binary Trees", hopes to amass a warehouse full of old Linux
distributions, books, stuffed penguins, promotional material, and Linus
Torvalds autographs.

"Nobody thought pieces of cardstock featuring baseball players would be
worth anything..." the founder of Binary Trees said. "That 'Linux For
Dummies' book sitting in your trash could be the next Babe Ruth card."

The company organized a Linux Collectibles Convention last week in Silicon
Valley, drawing in a respectable crowd of 1,500 people and 20 exhibitors.
The big attraction was a "Windows For Dummies" book actually signed by
Linus Torvalds. "He signed it back at a small Linux conference in '95,"
the owner explained. "He didn't realize it was a Dummies book because I
had placed an O'Reilly cover on it... Somebody at the convention offered
me $10,000 for it, but that seemed awfully low. I hope to sell it on eBay
next month with a reserve price containing a significant number of zeros."
