First official details of AMD's next-gen 'Mustang Peak' Threadripper CPUs come into view — chips feature DDR5, PCIe 6.0, and a new socket

Threadripper 9000.

We've already heard quite a lot about AMD's next-generation EPYC processors, code-named Venice, and we've heard a fair bit about the consumer Zen 6 parts, too, particularly in their Olympic Ridge and Medusa Point guises. Now, thanks to Budapest-based low-level programming enthusiast InstLatX64 (@InstLatX64 on X), we now have the first confirmed details about AMD's Zen 6-based Threadripper CPUs, code-named Mustang Peak. There's no shockers here, and there's not a ton of information to work from, but we can still do some interesting speculation.

The key details that we actually have confirmed are this: Zen 6-based Threadripper parts are internally codenamed "Mustang Peak," and they're going to use Core Complex Dies (CCDs) built on a 2nm-class process at TSMC. We can infer that it's almost assuredly using the same CCDs as Olympic Ridge and Venice, but more on that in a bit. We know that it's going to be based on DDR5 memory and PCI Express 6.0, and likely because of the latter, it's going to require a new platform, known as "TR6."
