AMD Announces Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000WX for Retail – They Will Offer 24 to 64 Zen 3 Cores
Debuting in March, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000WX processors have been offered exclusively on Lenovo’s ThinkStation P620 workstations for several months. Dell recently announced that these chips will be available this summer as part of its Dell Precision 7865 workstations. AMD today announced that the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000WX will be available to the public soon.
In July, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000W will start being offered as part of workstations from other OEMs, and the chips will be available at retail later this year. True, we are not talking about the entire series of these processors, but only about three models: the 24-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5965WX, the 32-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX and the 64-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX.
Recall that the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000WX series consists of five models of processors with a number of cores from 12 to 64, operating at frequencies from 2.7 to 4.5 GHz. They are built on the Zen 3 architecture, offer support for up to 2TB of eight-channel DDR4 memory, received from 64 to 128MB of L3 cache, support for 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes and have a declared TDP of 280W.
For all Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000WX, a 19% increase in IPC (instructions executed per clock per clock) is claimed relative to the Zen 2 architecture of the previous Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3000WX series.
Like the previous generation, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000WX chips are designed to work with the AMD sWRX80 processor socket and motherboards equipped with the WRX80 chipset. To support new products, you will need to update the BIOS of motherboards.
