Monster 32 core AMD’s Threadripper 2990X to have 4.0 GHz On New Wraith Coolers, report says

Wccftech is reporting that: AMD recently held a Threadripper 2 event in Maranello and while we weren’t considered good enough to be invited by the company – we do have some great news coming-in from the event that we aren’t bound by an NDA to not-share (good luck unravelling this sentence): AMD is introducing new Wraith Ripper coolers that will allow its flagship processor, the Threadripper 2990X/WX to hit 4.0 GHz on all cores on air. This is an absolutely incredible feat and is a subtle pun at the recent Intel debacle regarding the 28-core and the aquarium chiller.

As the report goes, the main reason AMD could make this happen is the new XFR2 technology that the company is having in its Threadripper 2 parts. XFR or Extended Frequency Range is AMD’s dynamic OC technology that intelligently clocks the part based on a couple of variables. This is similar to the Intels Turbo Boost tech in its CPUs. XFR2 is the successor to XFR and will allow TR2 to boost much higher than before. Since this is the all-core boost, it naturally implies that single and fewer core boosts will be much higher. The other variables are 12nm process of the chip and the brand new Wraith coolers AMD has. It is clear that they are designed to handle thermal loads upwards of 250W with relative ease.
