AMD has unveiled the Zen 5-based Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9000 WX-Series, its most powerful workstation processors to date. The flagship Threadripper Pro 9995WX packs 96 cores and 192 threads and will sell for $11,699 when the lineup goes on sale 23 July. Other SKUs range from the 64-core 9985WX at $7,999 to the 16-core 9955WX at $1,649, giving system builders and OEMs five launch options. Built on the “Shimada Peak” implementation of Zen 5, the new chips deliver a claimed 16 % instruction-per-cycle uplift over the current Storm Peak generation. AMD is pitching the processors at AI and content-creation workloads, citing internal tests that show the 96-core part running DeepSeek R1 32B inference 49 % faster than Intel’s top competing workstation CPU. The chips hold their 350-watt TDP ceiling while boosting clock speeds up to 5.4 GHz and supporting up to 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes on WRX90 motherboards. Dell, HP, Lenovo and Supermicro will begin shipping workstations containing the new Threadrippers on launch day, while DIY builders can buy the chips through channel partners. AMD also confirmed pricing for its Radeon AI Pro R9700 accelerator, positioning the GPU alongside the Threadripper Pro line for local model training and inference. Pricing for consumer-oriented non-Pro Threadripper 9980X and 9970X parts will be announced later.
