According to a leak, a central processing unit (CPU) that has 64 cores and is supposed to be the next version of AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX has been identified.
Reports indicate that the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX features 64 Zen 4 cores and utilizes an SP6 CPU socket.
Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX features
Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7985WX CPU on the platform, which led to the discovery of the most current information. This is an early engineering sample, as shown by the labels and the OPN-Code, and while the seller says that it works, you will need a compatible board in order to use it. Unfortunately, appropriate boards do not seem to be available for purchase at this time. The vendor has just started advertising the chip for sale for a price of 999 RMB, which is equivalent to around $1300 USD.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX “100-000000454”, in terms of its technical specifications, has a total of 128 threads, which equate to a total of 8 CCDs, 256 megabytes of L3 cache, and 64 cores, all of which are based on the Zen 4 core architecture. Additionally, it has a total of 256 megabytes of L4 cache. The central processing unit will be compatible with the Storm Peak platform and will have a thermal design power (TDP) of around 350 watts. It has been observed in the past that the same CPU may successfully operate on the AMD BoulderGulch reference motherboard while making use of 256 gigabytes (eight times 32 gigabytes) of DDR5-5600 memory.
The fact that the central processor unit is characterized as being compatible with the AMD SP6 socket, which was built particularly for the EPYC 8004 family, is the most essential component of this scenario. The AMD SP6 socket was developed exclusively for the EPYC 8004 family. These chips come with an LGA 4844 layout and are compatible with the new SP6 socket. While Genoa and Bergamo are focused on the high-end data center and HPC industry on AMD’s SP5 “LGA 6096” socket, these chips are compatible with the new SP6 socket. Both the Genoa and Bergamo chips are compatible with the SP6 socket, which was developed as a low-cost alternative for workstations and servers. The SP6 socket was also used to construct the SP6 socket.
It has been known for some time that the AMD Storm Peak platform would support both an 8-channel and a 4-channel offering, and now it has been confirmed that both configurations will be accessible. It is anticipated that the 8-channel offering will make use of the more advanced SP5 socket, which will make it possible to accommodate the Threadripper 7995WX 96-core CPU. This is as a result of the fact that 12 CCDs cannot be implemented within the confines of the SP6 package size. The only exception to this is if the CPU is built on a Zen 4C architecture, which can permit up to 96 cores in a 6 CCD arrangement (although this is very improbable).
The SP5 socket will eventually achieve its maximum capacity of 8 CCDs, which, when based on Zen 4 cores, may allow for a total of up to 64 cores and 128 threads. In the meanwhile, the SP5 socket will reach its maximum capacity of 8 CCDs. You can see that the carrier frame that surrounds the CPU also mentions “SP6,” which more or less proves that this was in fact supposed to fit into the LGA 4844 socket. This can be seen by looking at the picture.
Late in the year 2023 is when it is projected that the next-generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 “Storm Peak” central processing units would be introduced for the first time, provided that all goes according to plan.
