The AMD Threadripper CPU series was introduced by AMD as a desktop CPU offering for HEDT (High End Desktop) class computers that are typically used for tasks that require high processing power, including gaming at high resolutions and settings, or for more serious tasks such as editing high-resolution video, processing 3D objects, various types of calculations and so on.
After disappearing since 2020, AMD seems to have introduced the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 and Ryzen Threadripper PRO series of processing chips for those who need almost ridiculous processing power, and have the money to buy it.
Similar to the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU series, the Threadripper 7000 series built using Zen 4 technology now comes with three powerful models, including the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X with 64 cores and 128 power threads, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X with 32 cores and 64 power threads and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X with 24 cores and 48 power threads and respectively with a base speed of 3.2GHz, 4.0GHz and 4.2 GHz with a Boost Clock speed of up to 5.3GHz.
In terms of memory support, as usual this AMD Ryzen Threadripper comes with 4-channel memory support and can accommodate as much as 1TB of DDR5 memory with a speed of 5200MT/s. This CPU series also has a cache amount of up to 320MB which allows more frequently used files to be accessed at a faster rate.
In the meantime, it also has 48 PCIe Gen5 lanes with a total of 88 PCIe lanes in total which allows users to not only use powerful graphics cards, but also match additional accessories such as PCIe Gen5 SSD storage readers that are sufficient to move at the proper speed .
If you need a workstation-class CPU that will be used for industrial tasks, AMD just offers the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPU series that has more power cores and threads, including eight DDR5 memory channels that can accommodate up to 2TB of memory and also support for up to 128 PCIe Gen5 lanes.
In terms of motherboards, AMD has also shown two series of motherboards, AMD TRX50 for Threadripper CPU and WRX90 which uses sTR5 socket. AMD also says that Threadripper Pro CPUs can be used on TRX50 motherboards, but regular Threadripper CPUs cannot be used on WRX90 motherboards.
Both AMD Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen Threadripper Pro CPU series have also started to be offered in some selected markets through computer component suppliers, and will also be introduced through computer manufacturers such as Dell, HP and Lenovo.
