![]() Altogether, this adds up to 80 PCIe lanes of various speeds. And compared to its Pro counterpart, I/O has been altered significantly here there’s just 48 lanes of PCIe 5.0, and meanwhile another 32 CPU PCIe lanes are available, but only running at PCIe 4.0 speeds. The largest SKU is just 64 Zen 4 cores using 4 CCDs. The non-pro Threadripper 7000 series, on the other hand, is a bit more limited. Or, if you’re comparing things to desktop Ryzen, 4x as many lanes as AMD’s current desktop processors. The biggest difference between Threadripper 7000 Pro and Genoa is memory support: whereas Genoa supports 12 lanes of DDR5 memory, Threadripper 7000 Pro supports 8 lanes. Similarly, all Threadripper Pro parts come with an EPYC 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity (plus some PCie 3.0 “bonus lanes). AMD is offering chip SKUs with up to 96 Zen 4 CPU cores, as much as the best Genoa chip. With regards to features and specifications, the Threadripper 7000 Pro brings most of the EPYC experience to desktop hardware. We’ll get into the motherboards later, but at a high level, WRX90 is to be paired with Threadripper 7000 Pro, while TRX50 is meant to go with Threadripper 7000 (non-pro). Though even with this shared socket, AMD is offering two motherboard platforms, WRX90 and TRX50, to back the new chips. Both processor lines will use the same socket, the 4844-pin LGA sTR5, which is being introduced with this generation of products. This means that these parts are using the same Zen 4 CCDs that we’ve come to love in the last year, as well as AMD’s beefy IOD for server use. ![]() This is nothing new for AMD, as they followed the same playbook for the Threadripper 3000 series as well, but it’s helpful to note that, despite being classified as a workstation product, Threadripper 7000 Pro is the more powerful part all-around.Īll versions of the Threadripper 7000 family are based on AMD’s EPYC hardware, offering it in a configuration more suitable for desktop use. AMD is reserving more features – more cores, more I/O, and more bandwidth – for the Pro parts, while offering a further cut-down version of the hardware for the non-pro Threadripper 7000 series. Though truth be told, this is largely a matter of technical product segmentation rather than either version of Threadripper being unsuitable for a task. Threadripper Proīased on AMD’s EPYC Genoa hardware, AMD is offering two classes of Threadripper products for the market, which are roughly split up in to workstation (Pro) and HEDT (non-pro) parts. But this time AMD has decided to bring the HEDT back, creating a pair of Threadripper lines in a very similar fashion to the Threadripper 3000 family in 2019. With the Zen 3-based Threadripper 5000 series, AMD only ever released the workstation-focused Pro parts, leaving HEDT hopefuls in the dust. Most notably for this generation of Threadripper parts, AMD is once again offering the HEDT-focused non-pro lineup. The amount varies with the specific chip lineup, but both leave Ryzen 7000 and its 16 cores and 24 PCIe lanes in the dust. This means chips with lots and lots of CPU cores – up to 96 in the case of the Threadripper 7000 Pro series – as well as support for a good deal more I/O and memory. With both product lines, AMD is targeting customer bases that need CPUs more powerful than a desktop Ryzen processor, but not as exotic (or expensive) as AMD’s server wares. As with previous generations of Threadripper parts, we’re essentially looking at the desktop version of AMD’s EPYC hardware. Both chip lines are based on AMD’s tried and true Zen 4 architecture – derivatives of AMD’s EPYC server processors – incorporating AMD’s Zen 4 chiplets and a discrete I/O dies. These high-end chips are being split up into two product lines, with AMD assembling the workstation-focused Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Pro series, as well as the non-pro Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series for the more consumer-ish high-end desktop (HEDT) market. The one remaining gap in AMD’s product roadmap has been the workstation and high-end desktop market, which AMD will be filling next month with the launch of a pair of Threadripper product lineups.īeing announced today by AMD for a November 21 st launch, this morning AMD is taking the wraps off of their Ryzen 7000 Threadripper CPUs. ![]() ![]() Thus far AMD has launched consumer desktop CPUs, multiple classes of mobile CPUs, and a bevy of server CPUs big (Genoa) and small (Siena). Having just recently crossed the one-year anniversary of AMD’s first Zen 4 architecture CPUs – the Ryzen 7000 series – we’re now at the point where the final Zen 4 products are landing in place. ![]()
