Prior to the AMD Advancing AI 2025 event last week, AMD shared additional details on their forthcoming Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series processors.
Last month at Computex was the original Threadripper 9000 series announcement ahead of the planned July launch. Back then they shared the general features of these next-gen HEDT processors as well as the SKU tables for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series and Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series. At last week’s briefing they shared some additional details and benchmarks on these high-end desktop/workstation processors set to ship in July.
Many of the details aren’t particularly new with having covered the other AMD Zen 5 processor launches and the common architecture with the Ryzen 9000 series and the EPYC 9005 series processors.
For workstation benchmarks AMD is talking up around a 16% generational uplift for the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series compared to prior generation Threadripper 7000 series. For AI and machine learning workloads they are talking up 25% gains, which isn’t too surprising given what we have seen out of AMD EPYC Turin and particularly because of the AVX-512 with a full 512-bit data path on Zen 5 able to provide significant benefits for AI/ML and other HPC workloads.
Also providing for nice generational gains is the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series able to support DDR5-6400 ECC memory.
AMD is talking up some really great improvements for the new Threadripper PRO 9995WX compared to prior-generation Threadripper PRO 7995WX. Not too surprising given what we have seen out of AMD EPYC 9004 vs. EPYC 9005. But all of these benchmarks shown by AMD were under Microsoft Windows, so we await our testing to see how powerful the Threadripper 9000 series comes in under Linux.
AMD did not yet reveal pricing for these Threadripper 9000 / Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors that are expected to be available next month. That’s all for now until getting our hands on hardware for seeing these new processors under Linux.
AMD also touched on their upcoming Radeon PRO R9700 series workstation graphics cards. It will be interesting to see how the Linux support and ROCm performance is once the hardware is available.
