The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series, codenamed “Storm Peak,” will be the company’s next generation of server-based data centre processors. This new processor will face off against Intel’s new Sapphire Rapids WS series. AMD’s latest CPU, based on EPYC Genoa technology, will be included in the Zen 4 architecture. It is expected that the new chip will have more than 64 cores, possibly reaching 96 cores in the most recent processor.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series could compete with Intel’s Sapphire Rapids W3400 CPU chipset, particularly if it offers 64 cores or more.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series will transition to a more modern architecture, allowing the company to provide increased performance and efficiency while meeting today’s needs, such as new support for DDR5 memory and the PCIe 5.0 standard.
According to recent rumours, AMD may launch a High-end Desktop (HEDT) and Workstation (WS) series as part of the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series for customers. If this is correct, the HEDT series will support overclocking while only supporting quad-channel DDR5 memory. The WS series could support octa-channel while receiving double the number of PCIe lanes, up to 128 lanes.
Users can expect lower power consumption while receiving much higher data transfers with the memory and throughout the system as the new Storm Peak server processors support DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. Unfortunately for AMD customers, the new processor requires a new LGA-6096 socket, necessitating the purchase of newer equipment that is compatible with the new series.
