AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 "Shimada Peak" 64-Core & 32-Core SKUs Leak Out

[T0@st]

Unannounced AMD Threadripper 9000 "Shimada Peak" processor SKUs have once again appeared on leaked shipping manifests—a 96-core variant was uncovered under similar circumstances last summer. The latest discovery—courtesy of reliable investigator Everest/Olrak_29 combing through info published on NBD—reveals a Zen 5-based product stack that lists 16, 32, 64 and 96-core models. Until now, industry watchdogs have not spotted evidence of 32-core and 64-core SKUs—alongside prior leaks that only mentioned 16-core and 96-core parts.

Team Red has not officially announced that it is working on a follow-up to its current generation Zen 4-equipped Threadripper 7000 "Storm Peak" CPU series, but tipsters believe that fundamental similarities—based on leaked core counts and specifications—position "Shimada Peak" as the logical/inevitable successor. Speculation points to all the leaked Threadripper 9000 HEDT processors having a TDP rating of 350 W. Industry insiders propose that the highest-end variant—sporting 96 cores and 192 threads—will contain 12 CCDs (eight cores per CCD), 32 MB L3 cache (per CCD), and a lone I/O die. Wccftech theorizes that the 32-core model will be specced with four CCDs, while "the 64-core variant will come with eight CCDs." Insiders have whispered about a possible "later in 2025" launch window for "Shimada Peak."

32 MB L3 cache

Feels like too little for the 96-core variant??

I think it's 32MB per CCD, meaning 384MB total L3. The Ryzen 9 9950X has 64MB of L3 with two CCDs so assuming it's the same Zen 5 chiplet used, that should make sense.

 

[windwhirl]

Yeah, that would make a lot more sense

 

[mtosev]

Nice. Looking forward to the new Threadripper series.

I can't wait. I'm planning to build my next rig based on a 9000 series Threadripper CPU.

 

[Octavean]

I probably should have gone with Threadripper but 16 core / 32 thread RyZen seemed good enough (save for PCIe lanes). Also it seemed average users were being forced (priced) out of the Threadripper ecosystem.

 

[kapone32]

I wish some modern Threadripper chips were affordable. The MBs are not bad priced especially when you compare them to Godlike or Apex boards on AM5.

This gets the new IO die right? The one from Genoa which does DDR-5 6000 across 12 channels populated? It'll be so much fun to tweak it but the $..

Frustrating that AMD can make an insanely good IO die but throws the old one in there for desktops.

im looking forward to it
hope they make a x3d variant swiss army knife cpu

Now if AMD would just merge the TR and Epyc Socket into 1 universal, that would lower their development costs and increase their revenue

 

[TechLurker]

If they make an X3D of at least the 16c part, that would make for an amazing platform to work with.

No, it wouldn't make a difference as there are alone two (three if you count AM5) current EPYC sockets for different SKUs and market segments as having tons of memory channels/PCIe etc. don't make that much sense in all applications.

 

[TumbleGeorge]

No. ZEN 4&5 use same IO chiplet.

Threadripper with ZEN 6 architecture will get new 4nm IO chiplet, probably not only shrink but and with advanced features.

Why not the rest? Specifically the 32 core. This will make this Threadripper target broader audience. I may end up getting the 32 core threadripper. It will be good if it also can game (better than the 7000 series that is).

Why does it look like the I/O dies can clock even better than AM5 on Threadripper?

 

[igormp]

Why does it look like the I/O dies can clock even better than AM5 on Threadripper?

Because they indeed do. Both TR and Epyc DDR5 have way more robust IMCs in their IODs when compared to AM5 Ryzen.

Ideally, it should be up and down the whole stack, but I picked 16c just because it'd be a better-ish 9950X3D with more I/O and possibly X3D on both core complexes.

it does i can do 7000 1:1

I am eagerly looking forward to the release of the next edition of the Threadripper processor. I envision this powerful component as the cornerstone of my new system design, which I plan to start around this time next year. One feature I find particularly intriguing is the potential for smaller-format motherboards that can accommodate this high-performing processor, such as ITX and M-ATX board designs. It would be fantastic to see manufacturers create mandatory offerings that would allow for such versatility in building compact yet powerful systems.

Numerous manufacturers provide compact designs for their Xeon boards, ensuring high performance and versatility. However, that same level of support simply isn't available for Threadripper.

Imagine an M-ATX motherboard that supports dual GPUs and is powered by the incredible Threadripper Pro. This powerhouse would redefine performance and unleash unstoppable computing potential!

But dual GPUs will make the system larger which will defeat its original purpose!

They should lower the entry by starting the lineup at 12 cores.
Those 12/16 core models would make a lot of more sense on a platform with lots of memory bandwidth, PCIe lanes and more thermal headroom for sustained performance.

If they make an X3D of at least the 16c part, that would make for an amazing platform to work with.

Hopefully not, it's a gimmick and another waste to drive up the price for an already overpriced platform.
Much better to have higher clocks.

Yep the 2920x inspired me to only go with 12 cores. What would be even better would be a chip like the 1900X. That chip was like $30 more than a 1700X with more than double the PCIE lanes. Today's $500+ MBs are just porn. I still have my X399 and will be using it as a Virtual hub for some Racing rigs.

If X3D was a gimmick there would be lots of stock.

Lots of stock have when producing a lot. I think that AMD use few % of all engagement capacity of TSMC for consumer products and just part of this part is for CPUs with x3d.
