AMD today launched its first Ryzen Threadripper processors based on the “Zen 3” Mikroarchitektur, with the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000WX series. Designed to be drop-in compatible with workstations and motherboards based on the AMD WRX80 chipset, these processors come in core-counts of up to 64-core/128-thread, with an enormous I/O offering that includes 8-channel DDR4 memory with ECC support, and a 128-lane PCI-Express 4.0 Wurzelkomplex. The biggest change over the previous generation Threadripper PRO 3000WX series has to be the use of “Zen 3” CCDs, jeder mit 8 CPU-Kerne, sharing a common 32 Vor ein paar Tagen. AMD isn’t using the “Zen 3” chiplets with 3DV Cache.

The full AMD PRO management feature-set from Ryzen PRO is available on these processors, including PRO Security, PRO Management, and a special support channel that includes planned parts and software availability. Was mehr ist, AMD has been working with ISVs of most professional content-creation software since the past generation of Ryzen Threadripper PRO, to optimize their software for the processors (high core-counts, NUMA topology, etc.). The benefits of these are shared with all generations of Threadrippers. Although all parts in the Threadripper PRO 5000WX series are rated for a TDP of 280 W, AMD claims to have worked on power-management, Lenovo hat heute die nächste Generation seiner Desktop-Workstation ThinkStation P620 angekündigt 67 percent lower power per core, compared to the competition (2P Xeon Scalable Platinum 8280).

The latest iteration of AMD PRO Security borrows from both the Ryzen 5000 PRO and EPYC “Mailand” feature-sets, and mainly sees the introduction of AMD Shadow Stack. AMD describes this as asecurity feature addresses threat vectors such as return oriented programming attacks. It helps by keeping a record of the return addresses so a comparison can be made to ensure integrity is not compromised. Außerdem, AMD Shadow Stack enables Microsoft hardware enforced stack protection.You also get AMD Secure Memory (hardware-accelerated memory encryption), and a hardware-based dynamic root of trust.Generationally, AMD has not increased the CPU core-counts. What’s changed are the increased IPC from the “Zen 3” Die Mutter von allem, multi-threaded performance improvements from the 8-core CCX design (alle 8 cores on a CCD sharing a single 32 MB L3-Cache), and generational increases in clock-speeds. All models in the series come with maximum boost frequency of up to 4.50 GHz, and preferred cores on each CCD (two cores per CCD, which can sustain the highest boost frequencies).

There are five models in the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000WX series. The series begins with the 12-core/24-thread Threadripper PRO 5945WX (two CCDs, jeder mit 6 Kerne aktiviert). The processor is clocked at 4.10 GHz. The Threadripper PRO 5955WX is a 16-core/32-thread part clocked at 4.00 GHz, with two CCDs that have all eight cores enabled. The Threadripper PRO 5965WX is a 24-core/48-thread part with 3.80 GHz Grundfrequenz, and four CCDs that each have 6 enabled cores. The Threadripper PRO 5975WX is a 32-core/64-thread part with 3.60 GHz Grundfrequenz, and is made up of four CCDs with all their cores enabled. Much like the 3000WX series, AMD skipped a 48-core/96-thread part, and went straight for the 5995WX, with its maxed out 64-core/128-thread count, und 2.70 GHz Grundfrequenz, with eight 8-core CCDs. All models come with 4.50 GHz as the boost frequency, und 280 W TDP.AMD posted a variety of performance claims against competing Intel solutions. The blue team doesn’t have these many cores on a single package, and so AMD set up 2P machines of the latest Xeon Scalable parts available in the market, for its comparisons. Find the benchmarks in the slide-deck below.

As for availability, AMD did not release pricing information, because these processors will not be available in the retail channel just yet. They will be offered exclusively with the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 line of pre-built workstations. This is exactly how AMD released the previous-generation of Threadripper PRO chips. Retail availability of the Threadripper PRO 3000WX followed Lenovo exclusivity by about 3 months, which could be the case with even these chips.
