AMD launches its new lineup of powerful processors for workstations. Threadripper 9000 is available with up to 96 cores and is designed to support complex workloads.
At Computex, AMD introduces Threadripper 9000. This is a new series of processors tailored for workstations. The chips are generously equipped, with 96 computing cores, 192 threads, and 480 MB cache for the top component.
Zen 5
AMD builds the chips around the Zen 5 architecture, which it introduced last year. The CPUs thus contain the same powerful computing cores as the Ryzen range. The chips succeed Threadripper 7000, based on Zen 4 and introduced in 2023.
For this iteration, AMD opts for a slightly clearer separation in capabilities between Threadripper Pro and the regular variant. The base of the chips remains identical, and the Pro processors naturally come with AMD Pro technology that ensures extra security and management. The non-Pro chips have four channels for DDR5-6400 memory, while the Pro processors support eight channels. AMD further incorporates 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity.
Nine Chips
A total of nine components are released, six of which get the Pro label. The regular Threadrippers are of course also usable in a professional context, but then lack the niche functions that are especially relevant in the context of management in large companies.
