Threadripper 7000: An EPYC History of AMD Threadripper

Early in 2023, KitGuru took a close look at AMD Threadripper Pro WX series and we were deeply impressed by the 64-core 5995WX. The snag, of course, is that the 5000 Series uses Zen 3 architecture and we knew that Zen 4 Threadripper had to be just around the corner. Happily that time has arrived and the new Threadripper 7000s gain 1GHz on clock speeds and max out at 96 cores, which is superb news for rich enthusiasts.

KitGuru carried the news about Threadripper 7000 HERE and initially we were keen to get our hands on a sample CPU so we could run a review. After that we took a moment to think and realised that most people spending a fortune on Threadripper hardware would pay someone else to do the hard work and also to provide a warranty. We had a conversation with Scan and they will be sending us a fully configured workstation in January so while we wait for that moment to arrive we have produced a history of AMD Threadripper starting with the 16-core 1950X in 2017.

The headline facts are easy to digest; Threadripper 7000 is available in HEDT form up to 64-cores on the TRX50 platform and up to 96-cores on the Pro WRX90 platform. The CPUs use Zen 4 technology and support PCIe Gen 5.0 and DDR5 RDIMM memory. Clock speeds boost beyond 5GHz and you can expect a sustained all-core clock speed of 4.0GHz or 4.5GHz depending on which model you buy.

In our video you will see we ran a handful of benchmark tests on some of the older Threadrippers and also on a sample of a 32-core Threadripper 7970X, as shown in these photos. The hardware used is:

CPU: AMD Threadripper 7970X
Motherboard: Gigabyte TRX50 Aero D
Memory: 64GB Kingston Fury Renegade Pro DDR5-5600 in Quad Channel
CPU Cooler: Fractal Design Celsius S36
SSD: Crucial T700 Pro PCIe 5.0
SSD: Kingston Fury Renegade 4.0
Power supply: Seasonic Focus GX-1000 ATX 3.0

KitGuru says: We have taken a fresh look at the original Zen Threadripper 1950X, and also the Zen 2  Threadripper 3990X, Zen 3 Threadripper Pro 5995WX and the Zen 4 Threadripper 7970X and are amazed at the improvements AMD has made over the course of six years.
