AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX CPU Delivers Big Single & Multi-Threaded Gains Over 64-Core Zen 3 & Zen 2 Threadrippers
AMD's Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPUs are fast and the 64-Core 7985WX chip shows significant gains over its Zen 3 & Zen 2-based predecessors in the latest benchmarks.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 CPUs are a significant upgrade over the PRO 5000 chips. They get brand new Zen 4 cores, they get support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 hardware, they get a new platform (Storm Peak) and the core counts go all the way up to 96 with 192 threads to boast about. But, the lineup also has a 64-core model which can be compared directly against the older Zen 3 & Zen 2 64-core parts to see how much of a gain users can expect when upgrading to the new lineup with similar core counts.
Starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX CPU features 64 cores based on the Zen 4 core architecture with 128 threads. The Chip has a base clock of 3.2 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz. The CPU also carries 256 MB of L3 cache, 64 MB of L2 cache, and 4 MB of L1 cache. The chip has a TDP of 350W and is fully unlocked for overclocking while supporting 8-channel DDR5-5200 memory.
The benchmarks of the chip appeared on Geekbench which were discovered by Benchleaks. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX 64-Core CPU was configured within a Dell Precision 7875 Tower with 256 GB of DDR5-5200 memory and the power plan is "Balanced". So you can expect the performance to be totally stock. The CPU actually boosted up to 5.3 GHz (5294 MHz to be exact) & that shows just how efficient chips Zen 4 Threadrippers could be even when supporting a huge amount of cores.
Coming to the scores themselves, the AMD Threadripper PRO 7985WX 64-Core CPU scored 2599 points in single-core and 24780 points in multi-core tests. For comparison, the older Zen 3-based
