AMD officially releases TR 7000 processor and HEDT platform returns

The Threadripper 7000 adopts the ZEN4 architecture this time, upgrading the maximum number of CCD from 8 to 12, achieving a maximum of 192 threads, upgrading the memory from DDR4 to DDR5 with a frequency of 5200, and adding PCIe 5.0 channels, resulting in faster I/O, higher security, and greater performance than the previous generation. At the same time, the L3 cache has been upgraded to 384MB and the AVX 512 instruction set has been added, which will optimize the AI algorithm better.

Threadripper 7000 provides 128 PCIe 5.0, which is more friendly to AI developers, because it can achieve multi GPU compatibility, facilitate optimization and improvement of AI algorithms, and realize edge computing to enhance local training and learning.

For DDR5 memory, the Threadripper 7000 contains 4 memory nodes per chip, optimized for latency bandwidth. It also supports ECC memory correction and has a new ECC correction mechanism, which is more sensitive and reliable for any memory error. For the supported content capacity, the PRO platform can reach 2TB, while HEDT supports 1TB. However, AMD stated that in the future, the content capacity will be optimized, and in future products, PRO may reach 4TB and HEDT may reach 2TB.

Upgrade the chipset from WRX 80 to WRX90.

Let's take a look at the new generation Threadripper 7000 PRO series products. AMD has released a total of 6 new products, namely 7995WX, 7985WX, 7975WX, 7965WX, 7955WX, and 7945WX.

The flagship 7995WX has achieved a terrifying 96 core 192 threads, a significant increase compared to the previous generation's 64 core 128 threads, and a significant increase in frequency, all exceeding 5GHz. The highest frequencies are the 7975WX, 7965WX, and 7955WX models. However, the 7995WX is already terrifying in achieving a 96 core 192 thread performance of 5.1GHz. Of course, significant parameter upgrades have also increased power consumption, and several processors require 350W of TDP.

AMD stated this time that the launch of the Threadripper 7000 PRO series processor mainly meets the rising market demand in the current popular fields of virtual production, automotive simulation, and artificial intelligence.

For the software and science industries, the Threadripper 7000 PRO series processor allows engineers to better optimize code. In the multimedia industry, the Threadripper 7000 PRO series processor brings advanced computing performance, enables better VFX simulation tools, improves development performance, enables higher multithreaded applications, and makes modeling animations easier. In the design and manufacturing industry, large-scale 3D CAD simulation can be achieved, and prototypes are no longer needed as before. For the construction and engineering industries, the Threadripper 7000 PRO series processor can directly collect and design the modeling architecture, and analyze the building situation directly.

At the same time, the security, manageability, and stability of the PRO series are guaranteed as before.

Next, let's take a look at the TRX series of the officially returned HEDT platform. During the third-generation Threadripper era, AMD launched both high-end HEDT platforms and PROs. However, during the Threadripper 5000 era, AMD only released PROs. After listening to user feedback and market feedback, AMD realized that consumers wanted low-cost thread tearing options, so the Threadripper 7000 officially returned to the HEDT platform to meet market demand.

In terms of specifications, the Threadripper 7000 TRX processor has released three products: 7980X, 7970X, and 7960X. The flagship 7980X has 64 cores with 128 threads, an acceleration frequency of 5.1GHz, and provides 320MB of three-level cache with a TDP of 350W.

These three processors have been upgraded to the same level as PRO processors, using the ZEN4 architecture and upgraded specifications, resulting in excellent performance in various tests.

Overall, the PRO series and HEDT series have WX and TRX as suffixes, respectively. Of course, the main difference is in terms of functional features. The PRO series is equipped with manageable functions that are suitable for enterprise users, while HEDT's TRX does not have these. At the same time, PRO's product specifications are higher, with multiple cores, high memory bandwidth, and multiple PCI channels. Both support overclocking. TRX can be compatible with both PRO and HEDT platforms, but PRO can only be used on the PRO platform.

Next, let's take a look at the TRX new product of the HEDT platform that has officially returned. During the third-generation Threadripper era, AMD launched both high-end HEDT platforms and PROs. However, during the Threadripper 5000 era, AMD only released PROs. After listening to user feedback and market feedback, AMD realized that consumers wanted low-cost thread tearing options, so the Threadripper 7000 officially returned to the HEDT platform to meet market demand.

The use of WX and TRX as suffixes for the PRO series and HEDT series is inherently different, but the main difference is in terms of functional features. The PRO series is equipped with manageable features that are suitable for enterprise users, while HEDT's TRX does not have these. At the same time, PRO's product specifications are higher, with multiple cores, high memory bandwidth, and multiple PCI channels. Both support overclocking. TRX can be compatible with both PRO and HEDT platforms, but PRO can only be used on the PRO platform.
