AMD's Threadripper Pro 9000 Series: What to Expect In brief: AMD's Threadripper Pro 9000 series, the next generation of its high-performance workstation CPUs, has made an appearance on shipping manifests, hinting at an imminent launch. These logs have revealed key details about two of the upcoming models: the Threadripper Pro 9975WX and 9965WX. The processors are based on AMD's new Zen 5 architecture and expected to introduce significant upgrades while maintaining compatibility with existing platforms. The leaks, first spotted in shipping manifests by user @Olrak29_ (since deleted), confirm the existence of the 32-core Threadripper Pro 9975WX and the 24-core Threadripper Pro 9965WX. Both CPUs will feature hyperthreading, with 64 and 48 threads, respectively. This aligns with their predecessors in the Threadripper Pro 7000 series, which also offered the same core and thread configurations. However, the new models will benefit from the Zen 5 architecture, promising improved performance and efficiency. One notable constant is the thermal design power (TDP), which remains at 350W for both models. This matches the wattage of the current-gen Threadripper Pro 7000 series, ensuring drop-in compatibility for existing systems. Beyond these two models, the Threadripper Pro 9000 series is expected to feature five models in all, ranging from 16 to 96 cores. Chips including a flagship 96-core/192-thread Threadripper Pro 9995WX, a 64-core/128-thread 9985WX, and a 16-core/32-thread 9955WX have previously been spotted. Interestingly, AMD may skip the 12-core variant this time. Under the hood, the Zen 5 architecture brings a smaller 4nm process node, offering better power efficiency compared to the 5nm node used in the Threadripper 7000 series. Each Zen 5 core complex die (CCD) packs eight cores and 32MB of L3 cache, meaning the 32-core 9975WX will utilize four CCDs, while the 96-core 9995WX will house a whopping 12 CCDs and 384MB of L3 cache. This cache structure mirrors the current generation, suggesting no major changes in this area. That said, while the leaks provide a glimpse into AMD's plans, it's important to note that shipping manifests are not official sources. AMD has yet to confirm the lineup or announce a release date. But the mere appearance of these logs hints that an official launch could be just around the corner. Image credit: Tom's Hardware
