AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000WX Content Creation Review:kafa: Citiraj: In traditional “media and entertainment” workflows with applications like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve, the new Threadripper PRO 9000WX CPUs offered good generational improvements. In nearly all of those applications, we saw uplifts of 15-25% in CPU-bound scenarios. However, even in traditional GPU workloads, like GPU Effects in Premiere Pro or LongGOP processing in DaVinci Resolve, the 9000WX processors increased performance by around 5% over the 7000WX processors. In many cases, a desktop Ryzen (or Intel Core Ultra) processor may still be a better value for these workflows, so we’d recommend checking out reviews of those parts as well. However, if you need a Threadripper PRO processor for the high RAM capacity, huge number of cores, or high PCIe lane count, they certainly won’t detract from your ability to do work in these applications. For heavily CPU-based applications like CPU Rendering in V-Ray, Blender, or Redshift, or compiling code and scenes for Unreal Engine, the Threadripper PRO 9000WX family is even more impressive. The 9995WX is the new king of workstation CPU rendering, outperforming the 7995WX by up to 27% and Intel’s top-end Xeon by up to 125%. We saw average generational performance improvements of 26% in Cinebench, 15% in Blender, and 22% in V-Ray. AMD’s latest update to its Ryzen Threadripper PRO line is very impressive, offering great performance at a modest price increase. While we would have liked to see the price stay constant, the drop-in compatibility with existing WRX90 platforms should hopefully reduce the sting of the already-expensive CPUs. We are particularly impressed that AMD managed to dramatically improve memory support, with the new processors officially supporting DDR5-6400. Izvor: Puget Systems

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000X for enthusiasts launches July 31, 64-core 9980X costs $5000:fiju: Citiraj: Perhaps the biggest question right now is, what is a HEDT (High-End Desktop) system? In the past, such SKUs were undoubtedly expensive, but it took a few years for prices to reach not just hundreds but thousands of dollars. The Core i7-6900/6800K/X family released nine years ago already had the 6950X priced at $1,723, so should it be surprising to see modern HEDT CPUs costing thousands of dollars? While Intel has shifted its focus toward professionals and workstation builders, AMD still offers a Threadripper line dedicated to enthusiasts. These non-PRO SKUs are priced lower than their PRO counterparts and target content creators and enthusiasts who enjoy overclocking. The PRO series also supports overclocking, as shown by what the flagship $11,000 9995WX is capable of. The Threadripper 9000X series is designed for TRX50 motherboards, which support 4-channel memory and up to 92 PCIe lanes. Users on this platform will also have access to overclocking support. Starting July 31, three SKUs featuring 64, 32, and 24 cores will be available in the DIY market (not limited to OEMs). While there are currently no listings for these CPUs, AMD has confirmed the following pricing: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X (64c / 128t): $4,999 AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9970X (32c / 64t): $2,499 AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X (24c / 48t): $1,499 As a result, the 9980X features the same core count as the 9985WX but costs $3,000 less. For users who don’t need PRO features, this is an easy choice. The same applies to the 32-core variant, which is $1,600 cheaper, and the 24-core version, which also comes with a significant $1,400 price gap compared to its WX counterpart. Izvor: VideoCardz

AMD Threadripper 9980X + 9970X Linux benchmarks: Incredible workstation performance:kafa:

Citiraj:

Citiraj: When taking the geometric mean of all the raw performance data points in full, going from the Threadripper 7980X to 9980X yielded a 30% improvement. For a single generation. Some of my numbers have been relatively even higher than shown by AMD with all of their Microsoft Windows 11 results. Meanwhile for the 32-core Threadripper 9970X there is a similar 28% improvement over the prior-generation Threadripper 7980X. Simply great performance. ~30% generational performance improvements alone are great but it's even a more compelling case when looking at the CPU power numbers. Across the span of all the benchmarks conducted, the Threadripper 9980X had a 287 Watt average to the 7980X at a 309 Watt average. Both had a peak power draw at 370~372 Watts. Meanwhile the 9970X CPU power use had a 296 Watt average compared to the prior generation 7970X at 286 Watts. Roughly put, similar CPU power usage but being able to deliver 28~30% higher performance on average going from the Threadripper 7000 to 9000 series processors. And drop-in compatibility with BIOS update for existing Threadripper 7000 series workstations. Izvor: Phoronix
