Expanding the number of CPU cores from 16 to 96, overcoming the limits of multi-threaded performance
Workstation CPU first PCIe 4.0, next-generation GPU, SSD, and network implementation
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO series, which celebrates its 5th anniversary this year, has once again proven its solid position in the workstation market and announced the start of a new era.
AMD recently announced that Ryzen Threadripper PRO has been around for five years.
It made its debut in 2017 with the Ryzen Threadripper series targeting the high-performance desktop (HEDT) market, and has continued to evolve by introducing the PRO version for professional workstations in 2020.
Starting at 16 cores, AMD has managed to scale up to 96 cores in a single socket using a chiplet-based design.
Breaking away from the existing single die method, the structure that connects multiple core chiplets (CCDs) and I/O dies with Infinity Fabric has overwhelmed existing products in terms of parallelism and processing speed.
This has driven innovation by providing high-performance solutions to professionals who need to scale their workloads, such as content creators, engineers, and data scientists.
Ryzen Threadripper PRO is the industry's first PCIe 4.0 It has begun to support next-generation GPUs, high-speed SSDs, and high-bandwidth network environments by applying it to workstation CPUs.
Large capacity stability has also been secured with ECC memory and 8-channel support, and the recently released 9000 WX series has achieved significant improvements in performance and memory bandwidth based on the Zen 5 architecture.
In particular, DDR5-6400 support provides 23% increased memory performance compared to its predecessor.
AMD has focused on the workflow of designers and creators.
Equipped with high-performance cores and abundant PCIe lanes to handle workloads such as real-time rendering, AI tool utilization, and high-resolution modeling, Threadripper PRO is positioned as a tool to expand creativity beyond just a CPU.
AMD's presence is growing across a wide range of industries, from 3D animation to architectural design.
Beyond simply competing in performance, AMD has been redefining the workstation product category itself.
By replacing the high parallel processing previously possible only with dual sockets and expensive systems with a single socket, it has changed the market landscape by providing a more economical and efficient option.
We are continuously working with ISVs and OEMs to ensure real-user-centric optimizations.
