AMD Unveils Threadripper 7000 Series High-End Desktop Processors

Just a couple of days after Intel unveiled its latest14th-Gen Raptor Lake Refresh desktop processors, AMD unveiled the latest Threadripper 7000 series desktop processors today. AMD is now looking to redefine the high-end processor market with this lineup, empowering people to accelerate computing performance greatly in every task – whether it’s architecture, design, or content creation. So, let’s check out the new features of AMD’s new Threadripper 7000 Series CPUs for desktop platforms!

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series Desktop Processors: Details

As the name suggests, AMD Threadripper 7000 is the company’s latest high-end desktop processor lineup. The total core and thread count and overall computing performance are much higher on Threadripper as compared to your standard consumer-oriented chips such as the Ryzen 9. So yes, this is thetrue beastwhen it comes to CPU power, competing with the likes of the Xeon series by Intel.

AMD says their Threadripper processors are used majorly in the entertainment industry for the purposes of film production. According to the company, their existingThreadripper 5995WXchip is already a class-leading chip, delivering 37% better Autodesk Maya performance as compared to the Xeon W-3495.

The new Threadripper 7000 series looks forward to innovate further and unlock a new ceiling when it comes to CPU performance. David McAfee, a Corporate VP at AMD says the company never stops pushing the limits, and so their new Threadripper 7000 high-end desktop processors are launching today.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 WX: Up to 96 Cores & 192 Threads

The Threadripper Pro 7000 WX series offers up to 96 cores & 192 threads. This is on the top-endRyzen Threadriper 7995WXmodel, which has a boost clock of 5.1 GHz and a staggering 480MB of total cache. The TDP of this chip is 350W.

Talking about the processor’s architecture, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 WX CPUs are built on the leadingZen 4architectureby AMD. The manufacturing process used here is5nm, and these processors support DDR5 memory of up to 8 channels. These processors also offer up to 48 PCIe 5.0 lanes.

AMD has confirmed that upcoming PCs from companies like Dell (Precision Workstations), Hewlett Packard (HP Z Series Workstations), and Lenovo will include the new Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 WX series processors. The processor variants under theThreadripper Pro7000 series have been detailed below:CPU VariantTotal Core & Thread CountClock Speed (Base/Boost)Total CacheTDP (Thermal Design Power)Ryzen ThreadripperPro 7995WX96 Cores, 192 Threads5.10 GHz (Boost) / 2.50 GHz (Base)480MB350WRyzen Threadripper Pro 7985WX64 Cores, 128 Threads5.10 GHz (Boost) / 3.20 GHz (Base)320MB350WRyzen Threadripper Pro 7975WX32 Cores, 64 Threads5.30 GHz (Boost) /4.0 GHz (Base)160MB350WRyzen Threadripper Pro 7965WX24 Cores, 48 Threads5.30 GHz (Boost) / 4.20 GHz (Base)152MB350WRyzen Threadripper Pro 7955WX16 Cores, 32 Threads5.30 GHz (Boost) / 4.50 GHz (Base)80MB350WRyzen Threadripper Pro 7945WX12 Cores, 24 Threads5.30 GHz (Boost) / 4.70 GHz (Base)76MB350WAMD Ryzen 7000 Pro WX Series Lineup

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series: Up to 64 Cores & 128 Threads

The non-Pro lineup of Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors is also pretty impressive. The top-end model offers up to 64 Cores & 128 Threads, being the RyzenThreadripper 7980X, has a boost clock of up to 5.10 GHz. By the way, this processorcosts an eye-watering $4,999in the US, so it’s definitely one of those computer parts that are so high-end that an entire PC could be built well under the price of this single CPU product.

AMD says the Threadripper 7000 series will offer the ultimate overclockable high-end desktop experience. The performance and efficiency potential have been maximized thanks to the 5nm-based Zen 4 architecture. This lineup supports up to 48 PCIe 5.0 lanes, the same as the Pro series. Below are the CPU variants under AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series, and their respective prices.CPU VariantTotal Core & Thread CountClock Speed (Base/Boost)Total CacheTDP (Thermal Design Power)Price (USD)Ryzen Threadripper 7980X64 Cores, 128 Threads5.10 GHz (Boost / 3.20 GHz (Base)320MB350W$4,999Ryzen Threadripper 7970X32 Cores, 64 Threads5.30 GHz (Boost / 4.00 GHz (Base)160MB350W$2,499Ryzen Threadripper 7960X24 Cores, 48 Threads5.30 GHz (Boost / 4.20 GHz (Base)152MB350W$1,499

Well, as you can tell, the latest Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series desktop processors are no joke.
