AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 9000 CPUs are here, and with the launch, overclockers have set new world records with the top 96-core 9995WX CPU.
ASUS Posts Superb World Record With AMD's Top Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX CPU Running at 5.8 GHz on Its PRO WS WRX90e-SAGE SE Motherboard
Well, the fastest chip ever made for multi-threading workloads is finally here in the form of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX. Featuring 96 cores based on the Zen 5 core architecture, we were expecting to see some awesome benchmarks, and it looks like overclockers have delivered.
As part of today's launch, ASUS has managed to bag 8 world records, 31 global first places, and 7 hardware first places, all achieved using its PRO WS WRX90e-SAGE SE motherboard. The full range of AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 CPUs was tested but its the flagship which we are going to focus on.
As of right now, US-based overclocker Seby managed to secure several top spots using the Threadripper PRO 9995WX. In Cinebench R23, the CPU was overclocked to 5.8 GHz across all of its 96 "Zen 5" cores & with the help of LN2 cooling, a voltage supply of 1.57V, and 1000W power consumption, the chip scored a spectacular 222,766 points. This is 6% faster than the previous record holder, the 7995WX, which hit up to 210,702 points but with a much higher 6.25 GHz overclock. So it looks like there's still some gas left in the tank for overclockers to harness.

Other scores include 760,318 points in the Geekbench 3 multi-core benchmark, 364.087 FPS in the x265 4K benchmark, and 1,449,407 MIPS in 7-ZIP. These are superb figures and once again, we can expect a lot of action centered around the Threadripper 9000 CPUs in the coming weeks.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX CPU, including the rest of the Threadripper 9000 family, is now finally available alongside the Radeon AI PRO R9700.
