Threadripper 9000 is officially back: up to 96 cores on Zen 5 and separate lines for HEDT and workstations

The exhibition Computex 2025 AMD has officially unveiled Threadripper 9000 series processors, which translates the Zen 5 architecture into the HEDT and professional workstation segment. The updated platform will go on sale in July and will be available in two directions: Threadripper PRO (WX-series) for workstations and Threadripper X (without PRO) for enthusiasts.

THREADRIPPER 9000

The flagship of the new line was Threadripper PRO 9995WX, equipped 96 Zen 5 cores, 384 MB L3 cache and frequency up to 5.4 GHz. It represents the highest specification chip in the history of the series. All PRO models support 8-channel DDR5 memory, as well as up to 128 PCIe Gen5 lanes, making them ideal for systems with multiple GPU and storage devices.

The PRO line includes 64-core (9985WX), 32-core (9975WX) and 24-core (9965WX) models, but motherboard manufacturers based on sTR5 (TRX50) will also be able to use 16- and even 12-core processors. These configurations make it easier to enter the Threadripper ecosystem without sacrificing connectivity.

For enthusiasts we offer Threadripper 9970X (32 cores) и 9960X (24 cores) — chips without PRO branding, focused on HEDT. They support 4-channel DDR5-6400, have limited PCIe layout (compared to PRO), but maintain frequencies up to 5.4 GHz and high performance in rendering and compilation tasks.

AMD has changed physical layout of crystals in the X-series, removing the remote CCD chiplets. In their place are stubs (dummy dies) to maintain thermodynamic balance. This allows to reduce the cost and highlight the differences between the HEDT and PRO segments.

Pricing for Threadripper 9000 has not yet been announced, but both lines will be available at retail, including the DIY market. AMD has also prepared separate packaging for each series, emphasizing their positioning.
