AMD has taken workstation computing to a new level with the launch of the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX. Built on the latest Zen 5 architecture, this processor delivers an astonishing 96 cores and 192 threads, making it one of the most capable CPUs ever released for professionals and creators.
The chip runs at a base clock of 2.5 GHz and can boost up to 5.4 GHz under the right conditions. It also brings with it an enormous memory and cache system, supporting eight-channel DDR5-6400 ECC RAM and offering up to 128MB of L3 cache. The processor operates within a 350-watt envelope, which is remarkable considering the number of cores it powers.
A major advancement with this generation is the platform’s connectivity. The 9995WX supports as many as 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, providing unmatched flexibility for high-performance GPUs, ultra-fast NVMe storage, and specialized add-in cards. For professionals building expansive workstations, this level of bandwidth is transformative.
Benchmark leaks already suggest the Threadripper Pro 9995WX is setting new records. Cinebench R23 scores reportedly surpass 173,000 points, which is roughly 73 percent higher than the previous-generation 7995WX. Even if these early numbers were achieved under specialized conditions, the leap in raw performance illustrates how much progress AMD has made in just one generation.
The processor’s strength also shows in unusual, more playful experiments. In one demonstration, the chip powered four separate virtual machines, each running 100 simultaneous instances of the classic game Doom. That added up to 400 games running at once, with only a minor impact on its Cinebench performance. While no one is buying this processor to play Doom hundreds of times over, the stunt illustrates just how much multi-threaded capacity is on tap.
The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX represents a new era for workstation processors. With 96 cores, expanded PCIe 5.0 support, and the ability to handle absurdly parallel workloads, it is designed for studios, engineers, and creators who need maximum throughput. From rendering to simulations to large-scale development work, this CPU is built to save time and expand what is possible.
