AMD's upcoming Threadripper PRO 9000 series will carry on similar core specs as its predecessor, as was spotted in the latest NBD shipping manifest.
AMD Shimada Peak aka Threadripper PRO 9000WX SKUs Leaked in the NBD Shipping Manifest
AMD's Threadripper series offers terrific computing potential for workstations and AMD has continued the Threadripper series since the time it launched it alongside the Ryzen 1000 series. While AMD has already delivered the Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 CPUs for mainstream desktop platforms, the Threadripper 9000 series is yet to arrive.
AMD hasn't even announced the CPUs, but we are already seeing some leaks related to the SKUs in the Threadripper 9000 family. The Threadripper 7000 series was launched in 2023 and was based on the Zen 4 architecture. On the other hand, the Threadripper 9000 will utilize the Zen 5 architecture and is expected to be released this year.
As spotted by the user @Olrak29_ (tweet deleted), two of the SKUs from the Threadripper 9000 series were spotted in NBD shipping logs, revealing and confirming the model names and some of their specifications. One is the Threadripper PRO 9965WX, featuring 24 cores, and the other is the Threadripper PRO 9975WX with a 32-core configuration. These will feature hyperthreading as usual and hence, we will see 24-core/48-thread and 32-core/64-thread contigs respectively.
For comparison, both of their predecessors feature the same core/thread configuration, and just like the Ryzen counterparts, we won't be seeing an increase in the core/thread count. Both CPUs will be rated at 350W, a TDP that is common across all the Threadripper PRO 7000WX processors, including the slowest 12-core variant and even the fastest 96-core CPU. Remember that the 9975WX isn't the fastest Threadripper chip you will see, but it is going to be the flagship Threadripper PRO 9995WX, a 96-core/192-thread monster chip.
Then there should be a Threadripper PRO 9985WX as well, featuring 64 cores and 128 threads. The crucial differences between the 9975WX/9965WX and 7975WX/7965WX are the architecture and the clock speed. The clock speeds are yet to be known, but other smaller things like the socket and the process node are known from earlier leaks. These CPUs will utilize the same SP6 socket as the Threadripper 7000 series and will be based on a 4nm process node, which is smaller and more power-efficient than the 5nm node used on the latter.
