AMD’s next-generation Ryzen Threadripper Professional 7985WX CPU with 64 Zen 4 cores has been noticed operating on a Storm Peak motherboard platform.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper Professional 7985WX Packs 64 Zen 4 Cores, 256 MB Cache & Working On BoulderGulch “Storm Peak” Motherboard
Noticed by Benchleaks, we’ve got our first itemizing of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper Professional 7000 “Storm Peak” CPU with its precise branding as an alternative of simply an OPN code like those which have leaked out earlier than. The CPU in query is the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX which has been listed on the PugetSystems benchmark database inside the Metashape 1.0 benchmark. This benchmark may be very GPU intensive so we will ignore the efficiency outcomes for now.
As for the specs, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX options 64 cores primarily based on the Zen 4 core structure in order that’s 8 CCDs with 256 MB of L3 cache. The CPU ought to characteristic a TDP of round 280-320W and might be appropriate with the Storm Peak platform. On this case, the processor was operating on the AMD BoulderGulch reference motherboard with 256 GB (8 x 32 GB) DDR5-5600 reminiscence.
The specs do not reveal a lot in regards to the particular platform so we’re not sure if that is the HEDT or WS. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 lineup is ready to characteristic each HEDT and WS or Workstation SKUs with the previous providing 4-channel DDR5 / 64 PCIe Gen 5 lanes and the latter providing 8-channel DDR5 / 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. The HEDT chips are stated to be appropriate with LGA 4096 (SP6) motherboards whereas the WS chips are anticipated to be appropriate with the SP5 socket (LGA 6096). Following is how the lineups will stack up within the HEDT section:
- AMD HEDT: Threadripper 7000 (5nm Zen 4) / 4-Channel DDR5 / 64 PCIe Gen 5 / 4096 SP6 Socket
- Intel HEDT: Xeon W-2400 (10nm Golden Cove / 4-Channel DDR5 / 64 PCIe Gen 5 / LGA 4677 Socket
For the workstation section, we’ve got:
- AMD WS: Threadripper 7000 (5nm Zen 4) / 8-Channel DDR5 / 128 PCIe Gen 5 / 6096 SP5 Socket
- Intel WS: Xeon W-3400 (10nm Golden Cove / 8-Channel DDR5 / 112 PCIe Gen 5 / LGA 4677 Socket
Contemplating that this can be a Professional chip featured alongside an 8-channel DDR5 reminiscence resolution, it’s probably that we could possibly be trying on the WS platform. The usual HEDT chips will probably not characteristic the “Professional” branding. Additionally contemplating that this can be a 7985WX SKU, a 7995WX SKU can characteristic the total 96 cores which would be the similar as Genoa chips. A number of SKUs have been additionally leaked out final month & are stated to launch in Q3 2023 though that may change since nothing is ready in stone but.
