AMD recently launched its highly anticipated Threadripper 7000 series, set to launch on November 21st, boasting an impressive base clock of 3.2 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz, DDR5 memory support, and a TDP of 350W, with the 64-core variant priced at $4,999.
- 18.5% improvement in the base clock and a 13.3% higher boost clock
- L2 cache has doubled in size on the Zen4 architecture
- DDR5 memory support
AMD recently launched its highly anticipated Threadripper 7000 series, set to launch in about a month. However, some websites managed to get their hands on the new CPUs and wasted no time in sharing their testing results. While most of the initial coverage focused on the flagship 96-core TR 7995WX model, there is now more information available on the 64-core variant, specifically the TR 7985WX processor.
The TR 7985WX boasts an impressive base clock of 3.2 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz. Compared to its predecessor, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX, this represents an 18.5% improvement in the base clock and a 13.3% higher boost clock. Additionally, the L2 cache has doubled in size on the Zen4 architecture, and the TDP has increased to 350W.
One significant change with the Threadripper 7000 series is the addition of DDR5 memory support. This alone can have a substantial impact on benchmark results. Official Geekbench rankings comparing the new Zen4-based CPUs to their Zen3 and Zen2 counterparts show impressive performance gains. The TR 7985WX is reported to be 30% to 36% faster in single-core tests and 63% to 64% faster in multicore tests compared to the Zen3 5995WX. These improvements are indeed quite substantial.
For those eagerly awaiting the release of the Threadripper 7000 series, mark your calendars for November 21st. While there will be non-PRO variants available for enthusiasts, it’s worth noting that the 64-core version, known as the 7980X, comes with a hefty price tag of $4,999. However, it’s still more affordable than the PRO variant priced at $7,394.
