AMD Threadripper 7000 may be launched in September next year
At present, the maximum number of cores of the AMD Ryzen processor is 16 cores, and its competitiveness in the HEDT market is slightly weak. At present, AMD has also completely turned Ryzen Threadripper into the workstation market. Recently, according to Twitter user @g01d3nm4ng0, AMD will launch a product code-named “Storm Peak” in the third quarter of 2023, which is the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processor, with specifications up to 96 cores and 192 threads, including two product series, namely HEDT and workstation.
The HEDT series supports 4-channel memory, has 64 PCIe 5.0 channels, and supports overclocking; while the workstation series supports 8-channel memory, has 128 PCIe 5.0 channels, and does not support overclocking. It was also previously reported that the processor of the Thread Ripper 7000 series will be based on the Zen 4 core architecture, adopt TSMC’s 5nm manufacturing process, and have 96 cores and 192 threads.
Originally AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper series was aimed entirely at the consumer market, while the Ryzen Threadripper Pro series was primarily aimed at workstations, with more memory channels. AMD has previously stated that the two will be integrated in the future and only offer the Ryzen Threadripper Pro series. AMD’s current Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000-series processors for workstations came much later than expected, not launching until March of this year. On the one hand, due to the tight production capacity in the past two years, AMD has to allocate the only production capacity to places where it is more needed. On the other hand, the lack of comparable products from competitors has slowed AMD down, and the field is almost the last segment to update to the Zen 3 architecture.
