Gamescom Cologne

. AMD is rumored to be preparing to launch a new 16-core variant of its Zen4-based Threadripper processor, part of the new AMD High-End Desktop (HEDT) platform, which is expected to include at least four variants with 16, 64, and 96 cores and potentially additional models with 48, 32, and 24 cores.

The new platform will utilize the Zen4 architecture and introduce a new socket, potentially variations of SP6 or SP5.
The leaked system appears to feature a 16-core configuration with a base clock of 4.5 GHz, capable of boosting up to 5169 MHz.

AMD is rumored to be preparing for the launch of a new 16-core variant of its Zen4-based Threadripper processor. A recent benchmark test has revealed Lenovo’s upcoming workstation, which is powered by an engineering sample from AMD. This product is expected to be part of the new AMD High-End Desktop (HEDT) platform, known as Ryzen Threadripper.

While AMD has not officially confirmed the return of Threadripper, multiple leaks suggest that a launch is imminent. The new platform will utilize the Zen4 architecture and introduce a new socket, potentially variations of SP6 or SP5. This means that the CPU series, codenamed “Storm Peak,” will require support for DDR5 memory, an upgrade from the previous-gen “Chagall” series that supported DDR4.

The leaked system appears to feature a 16-core configuration with a base clock of 4.5 GHz, capable of boosting up to 5169 MHz. Although the official name of the CPU has not been disclosed, hardware leaker Haong Anh Phu suggests that it corresponds to the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7955WX SKU, a previously undisclosed model. The CPU is expected to offer significantly higher single-core performance compared to the Threadripper PRO 5955WX.

It’s important to note that the benchmark scores in the Geekbench database vary, showing anywhere from a 25% to 0% advantage in multicore performance for the newer SKU. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for proper benchmarks to determine the exact performance numbers.

This development raises questions about the complete lineup of Threadripper processors. It is now expected to include at least four variants with 16, 64, and 96 cores. There may also be additional models with 48, 32, and 24 cores.

AMD is anticipated to unveil its new Threadripper PRO series by the end of this quarter. However, no official announcements have been made, and there are no scheduled events suitable for the launch of this new HEDT platform. It’s worth noting that Threadripper PRO is not intended for gaming, so any expectations of updates at the upcoming Gamescom show should be tempered accordingly.
