Activity on the next-gen Ryzen Threadripper front has ramped up over the past week—we previously witnessed a fairly comprehensive spec leak of Pro 7995WX and 7975WX processors last week, thanks to Dell Precision Tower workstations getting tested out in SiSoftware's Sandra suite. Pre-release "Zen 4" HEDT hardware seems to be out in the wild—YuuKi_AnS has posted a photo of an allegedly SP6 socket-ready AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7985WX CPU.

This sample is apparently for up for sale on an unspecified online marketplace, advertised as having a TDP rating of 350 W. An AMD OPN core code reads: "100-00000454," although the photographed unit lacks any external "Threadripper" branding. The seller describes the for-sale processor as possessing "minor signs of use" as evidenced by scuffs and marks, but it is said to be fully functional and no repairs are required to get it in operational mode. The screen grab does not include any details about pricing or location.
