AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7975X spotted with 32 Zen4 cores

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7975WX to feature 32 cores

Another Threadripper SKU gets a name.

The forthcoming next-generation Threadripper platform is undeniably on the horizon. Multiple leaks have surfaced, showcasing AMD’s latest High-End Desktop (HEDT) platform, which is based on the Zen4 architecture. These leaks collectively confirm that the upcoming series will represent a substantial upgrade compared to the Zen3-based Threadripper 5000 series.

This transformation isn’t limited to architectural improvements alone; the entire platform is poised for a significant shift towards modern standards, including DDR5 and PCIe Gen5 support. Additionally, these new CPUs will require a new socket, set to debut with the TRX50 motherboard series.

We’ve already observed at least two workstation systems employing these CPUs: the HP Z6 G5 Workstation and the Dell Precision 7875. The latter, in particular, has made an appearance on the SiSoftware benchmark website, showcasing two SKU configurations. One boasts the 96-core Threadripper PRO 7995WX, the flagship model with an impressive 5.1 GHz boost clock, while the other is the Threadripper PRO 7975WX, now confirmed to sport 32 cores.

There appears to be a discrepancy in the software’s reading of the 7975WX boost clock. Nonetheless, it suggests that the CPU may come with a 4.0 GHz base clock out of the box, slightly lower than the 7955WX, which offers 16 cores at 4.5 GHz. In terms of cache, the CPU is rumored to feature 32MB of L2 cache and 4x32MB of L3 cache.

The reported TDP reading is likely inaccurate as well, as the new Zen4 HEDT platform is expected to require 350W of power. However, CPUs with fewer cores may have slightly lower power requirements, though certainly not less than the gaming-oriented Ryzen 9 7950X SKU.

The rumored lineup is now anticipated to include four models, spanning from 16 to 96 cores. It’s worth noting that not all of these parts have surfaced in the leaks yet, suggesting that certain processor models may be exclusive to particular OEMs or may not be part of the plan at all. Nevertheless, with configurations offering a maximum of 96 cores, AMD seems poised to address a wide range of market needs, potentially even more so than with the desktop Ryzen 7000 series.

Regarding the release date, rumors have suggested that AMD is planning to unveil its next-generation Threadripper in the fourth quarter. This would imply that we are still approximately three weeks (at least) away from launch.
