VideoCardz has spotted, via Olrak29 on X, the appearance of AMD's upcoming Threadripper 9000 series on NBD (a shipping manifest aggregation and query system). Codenamed "Shimada Peak" the information provided positions this as-yet unannounced series as AMD's most powerful processor for the prosumer market.

The first SKU identified is a 96-core part, potentially representing the full configuration for the next-generation Threadripper. The CPU is based on AMD's Zen5 architecture, the latest in its high-performance core lineup. This Threadripper variant will belong to the Zen5-based Genoa package, which comes in two configurations: one with Zen4 cores and another with denser Zen4c cores. It is likely, VideoCardz says, to be 12 CCDs, each with eight classic Zen 5 cores.
