AMD has announced the Ryzen Threadripper Pro series of CPUs for workstations. While Ryzen Threadripper was aimed at creators such as gamers and video editors, Ryzen Threadripper Pro stands for professional development studios and processors for designers, engineers and data scientists.
The model is divided into four. The 3995WX has 64 cores, a base clock of 2.7GHz, turbo 4.2GHz, L3 cache 256MB, and L1 cache 4MB. The 3975WX has 32 cores and has a base/turbo clock of 3.5 and 4.2GHz, respectively, and L3 is 128MB and L1 is 2MB. The 3955WX has 16 cores, operating clocks of 3.9 and 4.3 GHz, L3 64MB, L1 1MB. Lastly, the 3945WX has 12 cores and operating frequencies of 4 and 4.3 GHz, L3 64MB, L1 768KB. All of them used TSMC 7nm FinFET manufacturing process, and the thermal design power TDP is 280W.
The top model, 3995WX, has 64 cores, 128 threads, and a clock frequency is slightly lower than that of the third-generation Ryzen Threadripper, but exceeds AMD’s server processor Epic (EPYC) 7742 3.4GHz and Epic 7H12 3.3GHz. According to AMD, the number of cores and frequency settings are designed to fit a variety of licensing models, and if a high-frequency model is recommended, software with a license per socket is supported if more cores per core is recommended.
As for DRAM, Ryzen Threadripper supports DDR4-3200 4 channels up to 256GB, while Ryzen Threadripper Pro supports DDR3-3200 8 channels up to 2TB. It also supports server memory such as RDIMM and LRDIMM. Security features included the AMD Pro technology set.
The supported chipset is WRX80. In addition, PCI Express 4.0 can support up to 128 lanes. The Ryzen Threadripper Pro only supports a single socket, but AMD is appealing that the 3995WX has higher performance than the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 dual CPU. However, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro is only available as an OEM. Related information can be found here .
