AMD’s upcoming Ryzen Threadripper CPUs are gearing up for an official launch, expected later this month. As excitement builds, the much-anticipated Threadripper 9980X is making waves on various benchmarking platforms, showcasing impressive performance gains.
Recently, on Geekbench, the 64-core Threadripper 9980X scored a remarkable 3,259 in single-core performance and 28,666 in multi-core tests. These results, discovered by Benchleaks, point to a substantial leap over its predecessor, the Threadripper 7980X, which scored 2,882 and 24,790, respectively, under similar conditions. This translates to about a 10-12% boost in single-core and a 13-15% improvement in multi-core performance.
While Geekbench may not perfectly mirror real-world usage, it provides a solid perspective on how the new chip compares to others. These figures align with recent PassMark scores that also placed the Threadripper 9980X at the pinnacle, indicating a 7.7% performance enhancement over the 7980X.
AMD has unveiled the full specifications for the 9980X, featuring 64 cores and 128 threads, built on the Zen 5 architecture. It boasts a boost clock of up to 5.4 GHz and comes equipped with 256 MB of L3 cache. With a default TDP of 350W, it also supports the latest AMD Ryzen Technologies, including EXPO.
Although the exact release date for the Threadripper 9000X lineup remains under wraps, AMD has announced that the 9000WX series will be available starting July 23 through regional integration partners and global OEMs.
