The Zen 3 architecture version for HEDT has not yet been released, but its appearance should not be too distant, as the performance of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5975WX was measured via Geekbench 5. What is the performance and therefore the power that the next AMD HEDT processors will give?
It has been over a year since the Ryzen 5000 desktop processors based on the Zen 3 architecture were released and we have yet to see their version for desktops, as the Threadrippers currently on the market are still based on Zen 2. Although the wait may soon be over thanks to the appearance of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5975WX.
This is how the AMD Threadripper PRO 5975WX works
The first thing that we have to highlight is the specs of the new Zen 3 based AMD HEDT processor, and that is that we are facing a configuration of 32 cores and 64 threads of execution, so we are talking about four CCD Chiplets around the IOD, This is confirmed by the four L3 cache partitions, one for each chip. As for the base clock speed of each core, it is 3.6 GHz, but the benchmark does not indicate any Boost speed.
Regarding the performance of the AMD PRO 5975WX Thread Chipper in the test centered on a single kernel, it is 1,686 points, at the same level by core as the desktop AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with which it shares the architecture. Compared to the previous generation of these workstation processors, we are talking about a leap in 1270 points
Although this 5975WX processor surprised us, it is in the performance of the Geekbench 5 multicore test. As can be seen from the graph above these lines, the processor we are talking about in this news reaches the 27,603 points, while the 3990X gets 24,271 points an 11% increase in performance, but the first has 32 cores while the second has 64, so the jump is spectacular.
Late, but unopposed
Lack of competition is often not a good thing and the fact that Intel is absent from the HEDT market with a competitive performance CPU has allowed AMD to rest on its laurels and keep the 3000 series of its Threadrippers always on. the market when they have already done so. updated the rest of their processor lines to Zen 3.
We know that Intel will release a version of its Sapphire Rapids for HEDT the following year and we have known the existence of the processor for months, but the appearance of the 5975WX in Geekbench 5 gives us hope for the next launch of these CPUs, which for us is late despite a total lack of opposition from Intel.
In any case, we don’t expect it to be released this year and it is more than possible that we will see it presented at CES. How will AMD position itself with the launch of the Ryzen 5000 with V-Cache as an alternative to the HEDT market?
