AMD's giving Threadripper a Zen 3 Boost in 2022

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper CPU lineup is in a strange position, being simultaneously outdated while also being the market's best-in-class HEDT and workstation processors for many workloads. AMD's Ryzen Threadripper series is still using Zen 2 silicon, and Zen 3 processors have now been with us for over a year within the desktop and laptop CPU markets. Threadripper needs a Zen 3 update, and it looks like AMD will be giving it to us at CES 2022. AMD is reportedly planning to launch their Ryzen 5000 series Threadripper PRO processors on March 8th, 2022. The series' is set to be unveiled at CES 2022, showcasing the capabilities of AMD's fastest workstation processors. That said, it remains to be seen whether AMD will launch Threadripper non-PRO processors for their TRX40 series motherboards. AMD plans to reveal five Threadripper PRO series processors. Recent rumours have suggested that there will be 12-core, 16-core, 24-core, 32-core, and 64-core models. The new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 series processors are likely to combine "Zen 3+" CCDs (6 nm, featuring 3D Vertical Cache memory), with full sWRX8 I/O that includes 128 PCI-Express Gen 4 lanes, and 8-channel DDR4 memory. There are no sTRX4 options on the horizon.
