Part of AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper family, it features the Zen 4 (Storm Peak) architecture on the sTR5 socket. With AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), the core count effectively doubles to 192 threads. It carries 384 MB of L3 cache, operates at a base clock of 2.5 GHz, and boosts up to 5.1 GHz depending on the workload. Built on TSMC’s 5 nm process with 78.8 billion transistors, the chip’s unlocked multiplier allows for easy overclocking to fine-tune performance.

The 7995WX is the flagship of AMD’s six-chip Threadripper Pro 7000 lineup and offers unparalleled power with 96 cores, following closely behind the Threadripper Pro 5000 series from 2022. AMD’s Threadripper Pro CPUs rival Intel’s Xeon W-class processors, making them ideal for tasks requiring extreme processing power, such as Hollywood-level media rendering, large-scale data analysis, and machine learning. Only multi-node servers provide more performance than these chips.

For multi-threaded workloads like V-Ray and Blender CPU rendering, the 7995WX delivers up to 25% more performance than the 64-core 7980X. While it comes with a high price tag, professionals in need of maximum multi-threading performance may find the cost justified by its unrivaled capabilities.

Both the Threadripper 7000 and Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-series share the same sTR5 socket and most core specifications, with the key differences being in memory and PCIe connectivity. Threadripper PRO CPUs work in TRX50 motherboards but are limited to 80 PCIe lanes and four memory channels in that setup, while non-PRO chips cannot run on WRX90 motherboards.

The Threadripper family is divided into the PRO WX-series, targeted at professionals, and the consumer-oriented X-series, which marks AMD’s return to the high-end desktop (HEDT) market. Despite the difference in target audiences, both series share the same socket and architecture.

In terms of single-core performance, the 7995WX is consistent with other Threadripper 7000 processors, but it lags behind mainstream desktop CPUs. However, it shines in CPU-based rendering and other multi-threaded tasks, leveraging its 96 cores to deliver 25% better performance than the 7980X, making it the best desktop CPU for these demanding applications. The performance gain can significantly reduce rendering time, making the higher cost worthwhile for professionals.

Key features of the 7995WX include:

• 96 cores and 192 threads for intense professional workloads
• Up to 5.1 GHz Max Boost with 320 MB of cache
• Unlocked for overclocking with automatic tuning
• Support for eight-channel DDR5 RDIMM memory up to 2TB and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes
• 350W TDP (cooler not included)
