AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX 64-core Processor Surfaces on PugetBench Database

[btarunr]

AMD's upcoming Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX "Storm Peak" workstation processor surfaced on Puget Systems PugetBench online database. The 7985WX is a 64-core/128-thread processor based on the "Zen 4" microarchitecture, that's configured with an 8-channel DDR5 memory interface (16 sub-channels), and a 128-lane PCI-Express Gen 5 root-complex. The processor was spotted running on an AMD internal development board codenamed "Boulder Gulch" (AMD uses weird internal codenames to back-trace leaks). The machine had a cool 256 GB of 8-channel DDR5-5600 memory, and an NVIDIA RTX A5000 GPU. AMD is planning to release the Ryzen 7000WX workstation processor series some time in October 2023.

Yes, but make sure you have both your and your banker's platinum cards at the ready, or maybe a suitcase full of antique gold coins

But that's just a softly disguised compatibility check, they already know it will work with their own cards

7985WX - I would assume there could be a 7995WX (upper tier)????

They would have really been punking us if it had been an Arc GPU.

Is that using registered or unbuffered RAM?

Will it use the SP5 socket or the rumored SP6 socket? Only 64 cores and 8 channel for such a high end SKU sounds like the smaller SP6 socket. Or maybe the 7995WX will have the full 96 core 12 channel instead, but still in the past, all threadripper SKUs share the same number of memory channels.

Yes the socket is going up from its current socket. I did read about which one, but do not recall in this moment.

Yes and at prices barely lower than the equivalent Epyc cpu.

Will 96 Cores / 192 Threads, such as the Epyc 9654, be in the workstation format?
