AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX Emerges: 96 Cores, DDR5 Memory, and Over 5.0 GHz Boost Frequency

[AleksandarK]

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.

Very nice

Sapphire RAPID to the landfill.

 

[HalfAHertz]

Would be amazing if the base frequency of 8Ghz was correct

Would be amazing if the base frequency of 8Ghz was correct

But ~2.8GHz is very possible for base.

By the time this actually launches, it will be obsolete as well as costing more than the GDP of a small nation. HEDT needs to die.

 

[ixi]

Ou baby. Thats alot of multitasking capable cpu.

 

[Tek-Check]

This is going to be a true powerhouse for those who can afford it.

 

[80251]

Good night Intel.

This is a workstation CPU and not lower tier HEDT.
Those who need it and can afford it will know its value in daily work.

Sapphire RAPID to the landfill.

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.

 

[80251]

Has AMD ever released 4-channel HEDT parts?

There will be no successor for 2-2.5 years so it will not be obsolete any time soon. Intel has no plans for anything above 64 cores in the same time frame.

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.

Yes. 1000 to 3000-series non-PRO Threadrippers.

 

[csendesmark]

Imagine all of those PCIe lanes and all those CPU cores!

 

[Dimitriman]

Price: One BILLION DOLLARS...

For the stuff that can actually utilize it properly it will not be obsolete for a long time. Niche use cases, but these things very much has a place.

It will be obsoleted by Zen 5.

Nobody wants to pay through the nose for artificial market segmentation.

 

[HBSound]

A round of applause.

 

[zlobby]

Nice! Imma grab one or two! Let me first check what mobos will be on the market in due time.

Hey! Some of us have use for these.

Staggered releases…

Zen 4 Ryzen Sep 2022

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.

 

[Frick]

Only if they release a 96C version right away, which they won't.

 

[Tek-Check]

It will be obsoleted by Zen 5.

Threadripper has its own cadence regardless when next Zen in released for desktop and server.
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.

 

[Chomiq]

We're going to need a bigger motherboard...

Sapphire RAPID to the landfill.

Don't think these are gonna replace Sapphire Rapids chips anywhere, really... it's not in the same market segment, TR Pros aren't server chips. They fill this ultra-HEDT niche that persists despite the death of consumer-grade HEDT (since Intel hasn't released an HEDT chip since the i9-10980XE, which was already a third generation protracting the aging X299 chipset's service life and AMD abandoned Threadripper + aborted the TRX40 platform in the middle of its service life without a generational upgrade).

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.

What? Quite LITERALLY current Zen3 (an architecture released November 2020) Threadripper Pro, is still faster than the brand new Sapphire Rapids HEDT/Workstation CPUs, so I would have to imagine that a Zen4 Threadripper will be performance leader for quite some time
