AMD just launched its most powerful workstation processors yet.
AMD has launched its new series of Ryzen Threadripper Pro CPUs designed to power the fastest workstations on the market. Based on the company’s Zen 3 architecture, the AMD Threadripper Pro 5000 WX-Series processors come with up to 64 cores (and 128 threads), up to 128 PCIe Gen 4 lanes and 8 high-performance memory lanes. During a presentation delivered by AMD, TechRadar Pro was told that the new processors also boast maximum frequencies of up to 4.5Ghz, which will help support the demands of 3D design use cases. Although Intel returned to form with its Alder Lake series of mainstream processors, launched earlier this year, the company still lags behind AMD in the workstation CPU market. In comparison to the Xeon W-3375, the most performant workstation processor from Intel, the Threadripper Pro 5000 WX-Series delivers almost twice the number of cores, twice the number of PCIe lanes,500Mhz greater boost frequency and five times the cache capacity.
