AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX Emerges: 96 Cores, DDR5 Memory, and Over 5.0 GHz Boost Frequency
AMD appears set to enhance the core count for its renowned Threadripper series. After a prolonged wait, the high-end desktop (HEDT) platform boasting a significant CPU count returns with the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX, which features an impressive 96 cores and 192 threads. This marks the series' first core count upgrade since the Threadripper 3000 series. The 7995WX CPU was spotted in the HP Z6 G5 Workstation system, potentially one of the inaugural prebuilt systems from AMD's OEM partners. The Threadripper PRO series seems poised to dominate AMD's HEDT offerings, with no indications of non-PRO consumer models emerging for now.
The latest Geekbench listing unveiled the 7995WX CPU's 96-core configuration. Although the base frequency appears misrepresented, benchmark data hints at the 96-core CPU potentially reaching a boost clock of 5.14 GHz, a detail further confirmed by Geekbench's output. Another notable enhancement in the Threadripper series is introducing the DDR5 memory standard. While the benchmarking tool doesn't explicitly mention this, it does highlight a memory configuration of 503.27 GB (512 GB) in use. The CPU managed to score 2095 points for single-core score and 81408 points for multi-core score on Geekbench v5.5 for Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS), making it one of the fastest CPUs in the database.

Those who need it and can afford it will know its value in daily work.Not necessarily. Sapphire Rapids has both HEDT (W2400) and workstation (W3400) segments. AMD is so far leaking only workstation, higher tier products, with 8 channels. If they do not release 4 channel HEDT SKUs, they will not have a competitor here.
HEDT is fine to have around for workstation use. I see no reason to stop making this category since it’s obviously making money. Remember just because you don’t want something doesn’t mean the other 7,999,999,999 people in the world also don’t need.

And you don’t have to buy every generation. Anyone hardy does. You can buy Zen 4 Threadripper next month and then wait 4+ years and buy Zen 6 Threadripper.
Products are always updated and replacing previous products which by your logic means you can never buy anything ever. Oh and by the way, ALL CPU markets are artificially segmented. That’s by design. There is no natural, fundamental separation determined by physical laws of the universe.
It's nonsense to say that TR PRO 7000 will be "obsolete" next year in Q3 when desktop and/or server Zen 5 releases, because TR 8000 based on Zen 5 will release another year later and follow its own cadence.Plus, Zen 5 EPYC Turin dense should release around Computex next year.
Some Zen5 mobility products might land earlier than CES 2025. We will see.
These are gonna be distributed only through OEMs in prebuilt workstations, perhaps with an exceptionally limited DIY channel release with stratospheric prices, just like the 5995WX.
