AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X vs AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X: Comparison
Ryzen Threadripper 1920X vs Ryzen Threadripper 1950X l2 cache compared
On l2 cache the spread is 25%, Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 6 MB against Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 8 MB, so Ryzen Threadripper 1950X takes it. There is a split on core count as well, 12 cores on the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X versus 16 cores on the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X. There is a split on thread count as well, 24 threads on the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X versus 32 threads on the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X. Base clock is not the same on both, 3.5 GHz on the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X versus 3.4 GHz on the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X. There is a split on memory support as well, DDR4-2666 on the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X versus DDR4-2666, ECC supported on the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X.
Which should you buy, Ryzen Threadripper 1920X or Ryzen Threadripper 1950X?
Take the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X for buyers wanting a mid-tier balance of core count and HEDT platform features within first-generation Threadripper. It is the wrong buy for buyers prioritizing per-core performance, later Threadripper generations offer meaningfully better single-threaded results. Take the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X for buyers specifically wanting AMD's original first-generation Threadripper flagship at genuine 16-core HEDT capability. Avoid it for buyers prioritizing per-core performance, later Threadripper generations offer meaningfully better single-threaded results.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Boost clock, tdp, l3 cache, memory channels and cpu socket read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 14 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Product Family the same on the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X and Ryzen Threadripper 1950X?
It is. Both are listed at Zen, Ryzen Threadripper 1000 Series, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
