The ultimate desktop for AI, content creators, and developers, AMD's 'Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 9000 Series' revealed

AMD has unveiled the Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 9000 Series, the ultimate desktop processor for artificial intelligence (AI), content creators, and developers.

AMD announced that it will launch the Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 9000 series processors based on the new 'Zen 5' architecture in the global market from July 31st.

This new product is part of a lineup for high-performance desktops (HEDT), and will provide next-generation workflow innovation to content creators, AI developers, and high-end users.

The Threadripper 9000 series supports up to 64 cores and 128 threads, and is equipped with 256MB L3 cache and 4-channel DDR5-6400 memory to provide powerful multitasking performance.

In particular, AVX-512 instruction support has been improved to significantly improve data processing efficiency, and up to 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes have been provided, completing a platform optimized for connecting GPUs and NVMe storage..

For users performing high-load tasks such as 3D content creation, rendering, and video editing, the Threadripper 9000 series provides absolute time savings and efficiency.

It can dramatically enhance your content creation pipeline, boasting up to 80% better performance in Adobe After Effects and up to 83% faster rendering in Cinebench 2024.

In addition, AI processing and software compilation speeds have also been significantly improved, which will be of great help in AI research and development environments.

Support for nearly twice as many PCIe lanes as the previous generation enables the use of multiple high-performance GPUs.

In Autodesk Maya tests, GPU performance was up to 64% better than the Intel Xeon W9-3595X when utilizing the same GPU.

Complex modeling and simulation tasks can also be implemented through parallel processing, enabling expert-level productivity.


Looking at the lineups by product, the 9980X is $4,999 with 64 cores and 128 threads and clocked up to 5.4GHz. The 9970X is $2,499 with 32 cores and 64 threads and clocked up to 5.4GHz. The 9960X is $1,499 with 24 cores and 48 threads and clocked up to 5.4GHz.

An AMD official stated, “With this lineup, we will boast performance and expandability that are far superior to competitors in the professional desktop market, and we will rewrite the workflow standards in the creative, computational, and AI fields in the future.”
