Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX to hit retail later this year
AMD actually released the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX series processors as early as March this year. However, this product was exclusively used by Lenovo for a long time and was used on its ThinkStation P620 workstation. Of course, the lack of AMD’s supply is the reason why this processor is rare. Now AMD’s supply has improved. At the beginning of the month, Dell also launched a workstation Precision 7865 using this processor.
Now AMD has released a press release saying that they will continue to expand the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX series in the workstation business. The processors will be available to the world’s leading system integrators starting in July, and they also plan to bring these processors to the DIY market later this year.
The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX is arguably the strongest workstation processor out there. Using Zen 3 core, it has 5 models, 64 cores, 32 cores, 24 cores, 16 cores, and 12 cores, and the boost clock is 4.5GHz. The TDP is 280W, it has up to 256MB of L3 cache, supports 8-channel UDIMM and RDIMM, and provides 128 PCI-E 4.0 channels. Several AMD Pro technologies are also supported like AMD Memory Guard, AMD Shadow Stack, and AMD Secure Processor.
