[PC Gamer} AMD unleashes up to 96 cores of Zen 5 with its new Threadripper 9000 Series chips

[NewsBOT]

Computex 2025: We're on the ground at Taiwan's biggest tech show to see what Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and more have to show. These chips aren't short of much, however. A 5.4 GHz boost isn't bad for a chip of this size and only on the very tippy top chips do you see a considerable drop-off in base clock. The 9995WX runs at 2.5 GHz base clock, which is to be expected with 96 cores firing on all cylinders with a 350 W TDP.There are some 'HEDT', or high-end desktop, chips that are aimed less at the pro crowd. These are led by the Ryzen Threadripper 9980X, with 64 cores, 128 threads, and 256 MB of L3 cache.The new 9000 Series uses the same sTR5 socket as its predecessor, 'Storm Peak', otherwise known as the 7000 Series.These new chips are expected to arrive in June this year. If you're interested, I'd start saving now. Threadripper has been a rags to riches story: starting out as a dream of a few engineers and becoming a chip lineup that can cost as much as $10,000 per chip. Ouch.
