AMD Zen 3 architecture Ryzen Threadripper processor specifications exposed
Recent hackers have leaked a large number of confidential documents of Intel and AMD. In addition to the Zen 4 architecture EPYC processor code-named Genoa and SP5 server platform, the Zen 3 architecture Ryzen Threadripper series processor code-named Chagall is also leaked. Although it is rumored that AMD will take action against these documents to prevent further disclosure of relevant information, there is already a large amount of internal information circulating on the Internet.
Since AMD released its first Zen 3 architecture product last year, it has now spread across the desktop, mobile, and server markets. Only the HEDT platform has not been updated to the Zen 3 architecture. Of course, AMD is not in a hurry. Intel has basically abandoned the HEDT platform product line at this stage. AMD has no urgency to update. The Zen 2 architecture Ryzen Threadripper Pro processor is enough. However, this does not mean that AMD is not prepared. According to Wccftech, these materials involve the next generation of Zen 3 architecture Ryzen Threadripper (Pro) 5000 series processors.
Zen 3 architecture Ryzen Threadripper (Pro) 5000 series processors belong to “AMD Family 19h 08h” processors, at least 8 different models will be provided, of which 5 are used on the WRX80 platform and 3 are used on the TRX40 platform. Ryzen Threadripper 5000 series processors will have 24-core, 32-core, and 64-core products, and the IOD power consumption is 80W. Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 series processors will have 12-core, 16-core, 24-core, 32-core, and 64-core products, corresponding IOD power consumption is 62W, 75W, 80W, 85W, and 110W, the same number of cores but higher IOD power consumption is due to more memory and PCIe channels.
Compared with the Ryzen Threadripper (Pro) 3000 series processors of the Zen 2 architecture, the CCD and IOD chip areas of the Ryzen Threadripper (Pro) 5000 series processors of the Zen 3 architecture have not changed much. As the CPU package and socket have not changed, the new generation of Ryzen Threadripper series processors is compatible with the existing TRX40 and WRX80 motherboards.
The flagship model of the Ryzen Threadripper 5000 series is Ryzen Threadripper 5990X, which is configured with 64 cores and 128 threads, L3 cache is 256MB, supports four-channel DDR4-3200 memory, provides 64 PCIe Gen 4.0 channels, and TDP is 280W. The flagship model of the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 series is the Ryzen Threadripper 5995WX, which expands to eight channels of DDR4-3200 memory and provides 128 PCIe Gen 4.0 channels.
It is understood that the release time of the Ryzen Threadripper 5000 series and the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 series are not consistent. The Ryzen Threadripper 5000 series is scheduled to be released in November 2021 and enter the retail market in the fourth quarter. The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 series will be released in the early first quarter of 2022, possibly in January, and the early stage is likely to be limited to OEM manufacturers, and it will take a few months before entering the retail market. It is rumored that the new generation of Ryzen Threadripper series processors may be the same as the previous Ryzen series processors, and their prices will increase after upgrading from Zen 2 architecture to Zen 3 architecture.
There have been rumors about the processor code-named “Chagall X3D” (rumored based on Milan-X EPYC), which is actually a product using 3D V-Cache, but the news has not yet been confirmed. AMD has long confirmed that the Zen 3 architecture Ryzen series processors equipped with a 3D vertical cache will be put into production later this year, it may be the Ryzen 5000XT series processors, but the Ryzen Threadripper series processors using the same technology may not appear until the second half of 2022.
