In the latest benchmark coming details coming from Geekbench 5, we have AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 5975WX HEDT CPU which is part of the Chagall lineup and features 32 Zen 3 cores. In terms of performance, we can say that the chip outperforms a 64 core Zen 2 based Threadripper CPU with ease however, this information comes from the initial benchmark results so it’s better to take it up with some speculations.
The platform used for testing included the Cloudripper platform which features a Cloudripperas-CGL motherboard that’s used as an internal AMD test platform for Zen 3 based Chagall chips. As we know, AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 5000 & Pro 5000 family will be part of the next-generation HEDT lineup that is announced to replace the existing Zen 2 based Threadripper 3000 & Pro 3000 families.
Let’s jump to the performance of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX and the CPU scored 1686 points in the single-core and 27603 points in the multi-core benchmark. When we compare these numbers to the Threadripper 3990X with 64 cores, the 32 core Zen 3 chip is 10% faster which is very impressive since the 3990X has twice the number of cores and threads.
