AMD has finally introduced the Ryzen Threadripper 5000 processors, which were originally supposed to be released at the end of last year.
Today we announced the Pro WX line of CPUs aimed at workstations. Such processors will probably not appear on the open market and will be available only as part of finished systems. At least the Threadripper Pro 3000WX line was just that. Whether regular Threadripper 5000s will make it to the retail market is unclear.
In total, AMD announced five processors with the number of cores from 12 to 64. That is, the number of cores did not increase relative to the previous generation, but this was not expected. The main thing is that the new items are based on the Zen 3 architecture, that is, they should be much more productive than their predecessors.
| CPU | Number of cores/threads | Frequencies, GHz | Total amount of cache memory, MB | TDP, W |
| Threadripper Pro 5995WX | 64/128 | 2.7-4.5 | 288 | 280 |
| Threadripper Pro 5975WX | 32/64 | 3.6-4.5 | 144 | 280 |
| Threadripper Pro 5965WX | 24/48 | 3.8-4.5 | 140 | 280 |
| Threadripper Pro 5955WX | 16/32 | 4.0-4.5 | 72 | 280 |
| Threadripper Pro 5945WX | 12/24 | 4.1-4.5 | 70 | 280 |
The new CPUs use the old sWRX8 socket, are manufactured on a 7nm process and offer an eight-channel RAM controller.
Separately, AMD talks about several technologies that support new processors.
- AMD Memory Guard – Encrypts memory to prevent physical attacks on sensitive data.
- AMD Secure Processor is an embedded security processor designed to protect sensitive data and validate code before it is executed.
- AMD Shadow Stack is an innovative set of hardware protections built into the processor that help mitigate a common type of malicious attack by preventing memory from being modified to receive instructions.
In parallel with the processors, the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 workstation was also announced, which was the first to receive new CPUs.
Speaking of competing solutions, AMD notes that the Threadripper 5000 delivers twice the performance of competing single-socket solutions and up to 95% faster performance than workstations using two competing server processors. In this case, AMD compares with the Xeon W-3300 line. The problem is that this line not only offers a maximum of 38-core processors, but also relies on the not-so-fresh Sunny Cove architecture. Because of this, the Xeon W-3300 cannot compete even with the Threadripper Pro 3000, and the new AMD CPUs have no competitors at all. But this year, Intel should release a new generation of Xeon already based on modern architecture.
