AMD Reportedly Launching Threadripper Pro 7000 Series on October 19
AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 "Storm Peak" CPU series has not received any form of official announcement—we have relied solely on leaks to find out nitty-gritty details about Team Red's Zen 4-based follow-up to the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 lineup. Pre-release samples have been landing online at an increased rate—courtesy of benchmark suite database leaks—with various news sites theorizing that AMD is preparing for an autumn launch window. This prediction is seemingly coming into focus, according to the latest information from insiders at AMD and connected supply chains.
Wccftech reckons that an October 19 launch day has been pencilled in: "Our sources have told us that AMD is all set to unveil its Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 CPU family on the 19th of October. This marks more than 1.5 years since the introduction of the Zen 3-based Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 CPUs. The new processors will once again be primarily positioned in the premium workstation segment with limited DIY availability. OEMs will be offering their pre-built designs along with DIY TRX50 motherboards from various manufacturers."
Their report continued: "As per leaked information, we can expect a total of five AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX CPU SKUs including the 7995WX with 96 Cores, 7985WX with 64 Cores, 7975WX with 32 cores, 7955WX with 16 cores and 7945WX with 12 cores. These are the preliminary specs and all chips will be rated at a maximum TDP of 350 W. The CPUs will be supported on the new TRX50/WRX50 platforms with up to 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes support & up to 8-channel DDR5 memory support. Leaked benchmarks have also shown some serious gains with the flagship being up to 70% faster than the PRO 5995WX which was limited to just 64 cores."
Wccftech anticipates several improvements arriving with AMD's next generation HEDT family:

IF the Ryzan 7850X processors supported fully registered ECC RAM and at least 2 full X 16 PCI slots. Then I personally would not have a need for something like a Threaripper. Do need 7 plus fill PCI lanes - nope. BUT I do like the option to have at least 2 full PCI lanes, for any future upgrades. It comes with a cost for sure.! But I like to build my systems based on just having a little room.
I want to take advantage of the full power of the Threadripper, but at the same time, with 2 or 4 DIMM, 128Gb to 512GB of RAM is plenty for any and everything. The lower-grade CPU does not support that kind of RAM or PCI I/O. I have to jump to AMD Epyc or Intel Xeon.
I personally want to see AMD do better when they are rolling out these products. I believe they can offer a better motherboard for the Threaripper in the smaller format. I believe the Ryzan smaller chips could offer the 2 full PCI lanes and ECC Registered support. I believe there is a huge hole that forces people to get a Threaripper chip and never fully take advantage of the processor.
Right now, if I upgraded chips, I would step into the 7XXX, but let's first see the motherboard to come. Right now, I get a sense that I will do as someone else has mentioned. Wait on a 5XXX to hit the used market and jump on it from here.
*Need to go to an EPYC socket to support DDR5 memory @ 8 channels.
*Moving to 96 cores on 8 channels would drop mem bandwidth down to 5000 series throughput per core.
*At least 12 mem controllers required to prevent a bottleneck on EPYC DDR5 standards which would require a new socket.
Can AMD deliver a new socket and and 4 more memory controllers per core? Sure. Would they? Their still using Tick/Tock and the additional mem controllers would require an architecture change along with a new socket.
I would venture a guess they'll stick with 64 cores, max, for this cycle.
I would try to find, New Old Stock if at all possible.
The streets are watching!
_ EPYC, Xeon is something for server
_ ryzen, i9 13900ks is something lack power, yes it is.
_ hyperMill, PowerMill will eat all cores and threads that system has.
so, we need 100 core - 200 thread in single system to calculate tool path, threadripper is da best for now.fashion case doesn't matter when in heavy work, even extreme-plus-E-ATX is fine.
