Threadripper es la evidencia de que una persona que labora en lo que mas le gusta y apasiona, hasta cuando esta dormido esta trabajando en como hacer mejor las cosas e ir mas alla de lo esperado.
En la revista forbes aparece una entrevista con el equipo de ingenieros encargados de este procesador RyZEN, el cual resulta ser el trabajo de varios ingenieros apasionados que se unieron en sus ratos libres y que tras exponer sus ideas lograron se les asignara como un proyecto formal de la compañia.
Asi es como nace el procesador "Theadripper", que es el nombre clave en que tales ingenieros convinieron de referirse a este su proyecto personal, el cual cubriria su deseo de tener un procesador para uso Profesional pero siendo diferente del proycto ya oficial de EPYC, en elc ual podrian poner sus talentos para mejorar lo mejorable o cambiar a algo mas eficiente seguiendo sus propias ideas y habilidades.
Otro dato curioso es que en si este grupo pensaba se lanzara hasta el 2018, pero dados los buenos resultados es que los ejecutivos de AMD deciden salga el mismo año que RyZEN; nada tontos, desde luego; aprovechando las buenas criticas que RyZEN a tenido, ¡como no aprovechar la oportunidad de rematar!

Although computer enthusiasts waited a decade for serious competition to Intel in the desktop processor market, 2017 saw not only AMD's successful mainstream Ryzen processors arrive in March, but also the company's first high-end desktop processor in the form of Threadripper too, which launched in August
In many ways, it's even more successful than Ryzen mainstream processors. For $1000, you get more cores and better performance in many tests with Ryzen Threadripper 1950X than Intel's equivalent and highest performing desktop CPU - Core i9-7900X. Where AMD is still a little slower, for example in some older or lightly threaded games, is less of an issue as many people will use Ryzen Threadripper purely for its multithreaded performance. It has to be said that there aren't many reasons to choose Intel in the high end desktop market at this price point.
The battle goes on, of course, with Intel due to release processors with even more cores over the coming weeks, but just where did this somewhat unexpected processor come from? It might surprise you to learn that Ryzen Threadripper wasn’t originally part of AMD’s plans, which back in 2015 only included Ryzen and the EPYC server CPU.
To delve deeper into Threadripper's origins, I spoke to some of AMD’s big guns as far as Threadripper was concerned; AMD Senior Vice President and General Manager Jim Anderson along with Corporate Vice President of Worldwide Marketing John Taylor ,who have both been heavily involved in the Threadripper project; also Sarah Youngbauer of AMD’s communications team, plus James Prior, who’s AMD Senior Product Manager and closely involved in the Threadripper inception.

What can you tell us about Threadripper origins and how it came to be?[Sarah Youngbauer]
There’s a unique story surrounding Threadripper, but one that gives testament to the spirit that’s emerging in the company as we go through this transition since 2014 when we announced our Zen architecture. It’s not really a story of roadmaps and long-term planning or huge R&D budgets - it’s a lot more personal than that and stemmed from a skunkworks project and a small group of AMD employees who had a vision of a processor they’d really want in terms of a high-performance PC.
They worked on it in their spare time and it was really a passion project for about a year before they sought the green light from management, which is quite unusual – it was something they really cared about. The result, several years later was Ryzen Threadripper, which is the world’s most powerful desktop processor. Without this group of people Threadripper may not have happened.
