AMD May Deliver Twin-Socket Assist To Ryzen Threadripper ‘Professional’ Platform – Up To 128 Cores & 4 TB Reminiscence Capacities

Written by Jeff Lampkin

AMD might need delayed its Zen 3 Ryzen Threadripper CPU lineup for fairly some time now nevertheless it seems to be like they’ve one thing grand deliberate for its professional workstation phase.

Twin-Socket Assist Coming To AMD Ryzen Threadripper Professional Workstation CPU Platform? May Provide Up To 128 Cores & 4 TB Reminiscence Capacities

A couple of days in the past, Igor’s Lab leaked out the ultimate specs of AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 5000 Professional CPU line-up which can consist of 5 SKUs. The lineup options as much as 64 cores, 256 MB cache, 280W TDP, and is predicated on the Zen 3 core structure. There’s no particular 3D V-Cache or a 6nm node optimization headed for these chips however there’s one essential side that’s essential for the work-station phase that is perhaps coming to the household.

Within the leaked specs, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5000 Professional lineup is acknowledged to assist a ‘2P’ socket configuration. Much like Intel’s 2S, the 2P configuration means dual-socket assist which factors to the pink staff providing specialised workstation motherboards with the assistance of its OEM companions. This is able to permit AMD to get two Ryzen Threadripper CPUs on the platform as an alternative of 1 we at the moment get.

This might be a significant blow to Intel’s workstation efforts as they may as soon as once more be left behind within the mud with AMD conquering the core depend phase with an astonishing 128 cores on their high-end sWRX8 platform. Additional confirming it is a PassMark entry, found by TomsHardware, which factors to twin Ryzen Threadripper Professional 3995WX 64 core CPUs operating on a single motherboard. The twin CPUs had been in comparison with a single Threadripper Professional 3995WX 64 core chip & the brand new config finally ends up with a 44% efficiency uplift. The efficiency outcomes are represented within the desk under (Through – Tomshardware):

The efficiency acquire is not huge however we now have to do not forget that there are only some artificial benchmarks which are capable of make the most of the 64 cores on AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Professional chips, not to mention 128 cores on a dual-socket configuration. This opens up a complete new efficiency class for the workstation phase with over 100 cores, insane 4 TB system reminiscence capacities (16 reminiscence channels / 8 per chip), and an insane quantity of PCIe lanes. Certainly, it is a very enticing resolution for workstation customers.

There are at the moment no commercially obtainable motherboards that assist twin Ryzen Threadripper Professional CPUs however as talked about above, AMD might be working with its companions to get them made if they’re certainly going the 2P socket route. AMD’s EPYC server platform does have a variety of dual-socketed motherboards so OEMs reminiscent of Gigabyte, Supermicro, ASRock Rack, can positively be the primary ones to supply such a high-end workstation motherboard. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper Professional 5000 CPUs are rumored for a March 2023 launch so we would get to listen to about these from AMD at CES 2023.
