Leak Threadripper Pro 7995WX Benchmark

The next Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX (Storm Peak) from AMD is certain to shake up the rankings of the most effective central processing units (CPUs) for use in workstations. A fresh test has revealed that the multi-core beast that will command the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000WX army has been found with 96 cores and peak clock rates that can reach up to 5.1 GHz.

The Geekbench 5 submission, which was obtained through Benchleaks, reveals that the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX has 96 cores as well as 192 threads. When compared to the already available Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX (Chagall), the flagship of the next-generation workstation indicates a core count that is 50 percent higher. Additionally, it has sixty percent more cores than the Xeon Platinum 8490H (Sapphire Rapids) server CPU that Intel offers.

AMD is taking a gamble with the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX since it is practically an exact clone of the company’s EPYC 9654 (Genoa) CPU, which can be purchased for a price of $11,805 at retail. The Threadripper Pro and EPYC platforms will have different feature sets because to the competition between the two. In terms of the number of cores, there are only a few CPUs that can compete with the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX. EPYC Bergamo is the only architecture that offers more cores than it does, and it scales up to 128 cores.
The cache subsystem that comes included with the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX has also been significantly upgraded. The workstation chip that is powered by Zen 4 has 384MB of L3 cache and 96MB of L2 cache at its disposal. This is the same design as can be found on the EPYC 9654. The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX, on the other hand, boasts up to three times as much L2 cache and fifty percent more L3 cache than its predecessor, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX.
Disregard the 7.97 GHz base clock that was recorded by Geekbench 5, since this is clearly an inaccuracy. In spite of this, going further into the Geekbench 5 report reveals that the single-core boost clock for the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX was apparently increased to 5,140 MHz. This is likely the boost speed for the single-core. The single-boost frequency on the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX is 4.5 GHz; thus, the single-boost clock on the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX is 14% higher.

When contrasted with the EPYC 9564, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX features a boost clock that is 38% higher. You may think of the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX as an EPYC 9564 with a higher clock speed. This is one way to look at it. Pricing will be a major consideration; considering that the EPYC 9564 retails for $11,805, it would be fascinating to observe how AMD charges the virtually identical Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX.

Take these benchmarks with a grain (or several grains) of salt, as you should with any other benchmarks that have been leaked. In the single-core test, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX received a score of 2,095, while in the multi-core test, it received an overall score of 81,408. The new chip has a single-core performance that is 26% better than the submission made by Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX, which is essentially identical to the new chip. In terms of the performance of several cores, we are looking at around 49%. These values should be considered more of a rough approximate estimate because the specific numbers may probably vary significantly.

The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX may feature a thermal design power (TDP) of 350 watts, the same as the Xeon Platinum 8490H, if the information from a shipping document that was accidentally released is accurate. This TDP rating appears to be realistic, given that the EPYC 9564 has a TDP that may range anywhere from 320W to 400W. The 96-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX appears to have a 25% greater thermal design power (TDP) than its predecessor, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX. This is most likely to accommodate the more cores and higher clock rates.

The document that was stolen along with today’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX test provides strong evidence that the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000WX series will be released very soon. At Computex 2023, we saw a handful of new Noctua Threadripper CPU air coolers with an ETA of October. The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000WX series will probably make its debut on the market around the same date.
