Although AMD formally introduced its Ryzen Threadripper 9000-series processors at Computex and disclosed their specifications, the company did not reveal their performance compared to predecessors and rivals, or their pricing. This week, the company filled in one of these blanks and finally released performance results of its Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX and Ryzen Threadripper 9980 CPUs compared to Intel's Xeon W9-3595WX.
With its Zen 5-based Ryzen Threadripper 9000-series, AMD did not increase core count or frequency of its CPUs for workstations and high-end desktops, so all performance increases compared to the previous generation come from micro-architectural improvements (e.g., wider core execution, improved caches, faster memory, and more efficient AVX-512 support).
