AMD Threadripper Pro 7000 Presentation Slides Leaked
A trio of allegedly official presentation slides appeared on X yesterday, posted by Underfox3—the leaker stopped short of revealing the origin of this material. They simply commented: "AMD Threadripper Pro is coming...🔥." The next generation HEDT processor family is expected to arrive in the fall, and the opening slide pretty much confirms this launch window (starting September 22—autumnal equinox). There has been a noticeable uptick in Zen 4 "Storm Peak" 7000-series pre-release units appearing online lately—so the timing seems plausible. Text segments do not mention the 7000-series in specifics, but an IHS render visible on the second slide looks somewhat similar—in shape—to a grey market-listed Threadripper Pro 7985WX. VideoCardz has compiled various leaked SKUs into a chart (see below).
A very general claim is made on the second slide—boasting a 20% performance increase over their Threadripper Pro 5000 series—but detailed information (prowess in single or multi-core tests) or in-depth benchmark results are not included. VideoCardz surmises from an interpretation of the third slide—noting: "support for 96 cores, marking a 50% boost over the TR PRO 5000 series. This suggests that the 20% improvement likely pertains to the single-core Zen 4 boost." The final slide also shows said 96-core Threadripper Pro processor tipped against Intel's Xeon W9-3495X CPU (a 56-core Sapphire Rapids candidate)—the former is said to produce 75% more renders per day. Per frame completion time is 657 second versus 1125 seconds (respectively).

Anyway, I just hope that the thing appears on the open motherboard and CPU market, and that the stupid vendor locking doesn't dominate.
Epyc Genoa has 12 channel for DDR5. But new Threadripper 7000 has only...8 channels? Yes that is in rumors and maybe leaks? But is this real 8 channels on in count we have native 4 channels , which are multiplied by the internal channel division in the memory modules themselves, from the previous 1 channel with a 64-bit bus(DDR 4), to 2*32b, which is the organization of DDR5. And now "fake" 8 channel? 4*2(32b)=8*32b? But still DDR5, it's faster anyway and covers the magician's trick on stage.
You can find 32-bits-wide channels mentioned in some whitepapers published by Micron, Rambus etc but that's about all.
