AMD on Monday added two new second generation Threadripper processors to its product stack, and in the process it lowered the cost of entry for enthusiasts who want to splurge on a high-end desktop (HEDT) chip based on the latest Ryzen silicon.

Previously the least expensive second-gen Threadripper part was the Threadripper 2950X, priced at $899. Now that distinction belongs to the new Threadripper 2920X, a 12-core/24-thread CPU clocked at 3.5GHz to 4.3GHz with 38MB of total cache and a 180W TDP. It's $150 cheaper at $649 and will be available today.
