AMD has released its Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors, targeting the high-end desktop (HEDT) market with more cores and improved performance. The lineup includes the top-end 7980X with 64 cores, the mid-tier 7970X with 32 cores, and the entry-level 7960X with 24 cores. These processors are designed for demanding multi-threaded applications and offer features such as quad-channel DDR5 memory support and up to 48 PCIe 5.0 lanes. The Threadripper 7000 series aims to cater to professionals and enthusiasts who require more processing power than standard desktop CPUs can provide.
AMD has announced the upcoming launch of its Ryzen Threadripper 7000 family, which includes the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Pro series for workstations and the non-pro Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series for the high-end desktop market. These chips are based on AMD's Zen 4 architecture and offer up to 96 CPU cores, support for more I/O and memory, and improved performance compared to previous generations. The Threadripper 7000 Pro series is more powerful overall, while the non-pro series provides a more affordable option. Both lines feature DDR5 memory support and offer significant performance improvements for intensive workloads.
CPU-Z version 2.06 has added preliminary support for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series based on Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Storm Peak. The full-fat version of the Threadripper 7000 series is expected to feature 8-channel DDR5 memory support, 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, 8 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, and no overclocking support, while the HEDT models will feature 4-channel DDR5 memory support, 64 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, 8 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, and allow for overclocking. The potential return of non-Pro HEDT chips could help with pricing, especially with increased competition from the mainstream lineup.
