AMD has officially announced a new generation of high-performance processors – the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series, which will go on sale from July 23. The new products are primarily aimed at the workstation segment, and not at HEDT enthusiasts, as before.

• improved AVX-512 support;
• 8-channel DDR5-6400 memory;
• 128-lane PCIe 5.0 interface.

Workstation focus

As part of the new approach, AMD has shifted its focus from HEDT platforms to high-performance workstations. The Threadripper PRO 9000 series is positioned as a solution for engineering modeling, generative design, 3D rendering, local AI and code compilation tasks.

The processors will be available through regional system builders, as well as from global OEMs: Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo, Supermicro. Select models will also be available from AMD’s international partners.

Performance gains

According to AMD, the 9000 series demonstrates a noticeable increase in performance compared to its predecessors:
