AMD RYZEN THREADRIPPER 9000 series
INTRODUCTION AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE NEW AMD RYZEN THREADRIPPER 9000 SERIES
In the Computex 2025 AMD he announced the new processors for work stations or “workstations” and enthusiastic users AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series and the PRO 9000 WX Series variant, a new generation of the most powerful CPUS of AMD, with Zen architecture 5 and up to 96 nuclei for enthusiastic and professional users.
AMD divides them into two ranges, on the one hand, Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series with three models ranging from the 24 nuclei to the 64 nuclei designed for enthusiastic users of Hedt platforms (high -end donuts).
On the other hand, the AMD RYZEN THREADRIPPER PRO 9000 WX SERIESdesigned for work stations and with a broader catalog that includes the AMD RYZEN THREADRIPPER PRO 9995WX With their 96 nuclei and 192 execution threads, along with 5 other models ranging from the 12 nuclei and 24 threads, to the 64 nuclei and 128 threads.
These processors include the latest AMD technologies, with their most recent Zen architecture 5 Together with different optimizations such as its different cache, support for DDR5 memories in confirmations of 4 and 8 channels. They will be oriented to 3D design tasks, CAD, content creation, artificial intelligence, and all kinds of processes that require huge amounts of parallel calculation for work stations.

AMD promises up to 26% more yield than the previous generation and 149% above Intel
Later we will comment on the news in the design and architecture that introduces this new line of processors AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 seriesbut before we are going to review the performance that, according to AMD, achieves the new generation of its processors for work stations and high performance equipment.
The company shows different comparisons with the Intel Xeon W9-3595X, A model with 60 nuclei and 120 threads to which the AMD solution draws a yield of up to 145 % when rendering in certain environments.

Models such as Threadripper 9980x also promises to overcome the Xeon W9-3595X by a wide margin:

AMD also compares it directly with its predecessor, AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX, also with 96 cores, but based on the previous Zen architecture 4. The company promises a performance of up to 26% more, a fairly striking generational leap.
Other performance tests in professional tasks such as 3D design, rendering, video processing, or artificial intelligence, show performance increases ranging from the 13% to the aforementioned 26%.
Design and architecture of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series and its chiplets design with Zen 5
The use of the new Zen 5 architecture nuclei of AMD, which we have already seen in other products such as the Ryzen 9000 processors line for desks and laptops, allows to improve the performance both in processes of a single thread/nucleus, and in those that require the use of several execution threads. This is accompanied by the support for instructions AVX512Improvements in the ISA instructions set and an optimization of the entire process for data computing.
Next to the improvements of architecture Zen 5the design of the soc of the threadripper 9000 has been improved to add the support for up to 12 ccds to 4 nanometers In its well -known Chiplets design, which makes possible the existence of models of up to 96 nuclei. It also adds memories compatibility DDR5-6400 With the JEDEC standard, support for solutions with several processors and all maintaining compatibility with existing platforms based on the Socket Str5.
The Zen 5 architecture is not an unknown to be present in the most recent AMD processors and APUS for the domestic market, but it is the first time that it reaches the Workstations market within the Threadripper range.
As a summary, we have an architecture with 6 arithmetic-logical units of processing of integers, 5 AGU, 6 FP operations per cycle and complete 512-bit routes for AVX512 instructions, with 4 load inputs capable of moving two sets of 512b. Integrate the PEDRAMAS PREDICTION SYSTEM for INSTRATION PREDICTION, I-CACHE CACHES SYSTEM, OP-Cache and D-CACHÉ.
As we all know, AMD keeps the SMT system in Zen 5 that offers two core execution threads, causing 96 core processors to manage 192 execution threads.
Zen 5 also allows you to create blocks or “chiplets” of up to 8 nuclei. Models like him AMD RYZEN THREADRIPPER PRO 9995WX They have 12 of these 8 -nuclei CCD blocks each to get the 96 total nuclei.
Each of these CCD offers different improvements in the L2 cache with respect to Zen 4 that allow him to duplicate the bandwidth and the “roads” between the L2 and the L1 cache.
Each CCD can house up to 40 MB, which gives us a total of 480 mb of cache in processors such as 9995wx
These Zen 5 improvements are the ones that achieve yields of up to 25% in artificial intelligence tasksor 16% in tasks of different types for professional environments. We talk about performance improvements due only to architecture and measures maintaining the same frequency against Zen 4 processors, that is, cycle performance or cycle instructions (CPI). Do not forget that new models have higher frequencies that can increase more yield between generations.
In addition, improvements in instructions prediction, and other novelties allow us to reduce consumption and maximize energy efficiency.
In addition to the improvements of the Zen 5 architecture in the CCD, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series also include improvements in the rest of the design. For example, the entrance/output part improves the PCIE bandwidth combination system thanks to different internal changes in the controller. We have 12 PCI Express Gen 5 lines in the most capable models, with speeds of up to 32 Gbps per line. 32 IO lines for SATA units are also reserved.
Naturally, taking into account the sector to which they are oriented, these processors include different security technologies, such as SME for memory encrypted, support for AES-256-Xts encryption, Secure Boot or a dedicated subsystem for safety with different improvements.
The integrated memory controller now supports 8 channels (4 in the Hedt and 8 in the PRO) DDR5 memory with correction of ECC errors at base speeds of 6,400 mt/s. The theoretical peak bandwidth in 8 channels is, therefore, 410 GB/s in modules of 6,400 mt/s.
In addition, it supports Overclock by AMD Expo profiles at speeds above 7,000 mt/s, a possibility that adds to the overlock capabilities of the nuclei that these processors also have.
All this is integrated into an existing platform such as the STR5, maintaining that strategy that we like so much to extend the useful life of its sockets facilitating the update of its processors.
