Moore’s Law is Dead has also disclosed AMD’s next-generation Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series ‘HEDT’ CPUs, which are based on the Zen 4 core architecture. AMD recently unveiled its Threadripper PRO 5000 CPUs, which are based on the Zen 3 core architecture, and offered Lenovo a first-mover advantage.
AMD is expected to release its next-generation Threadripper 7000 portfolio, although according to recent speculations, these SKUs will also be branded under the ‘PRO’ name.
They will have up to 96 cores and 192 threads. The CPUs will be built exclusively for high-end and demanding workstation customers and will replace the present ‘Chagall’ lineup. Because the core count is the same as EPYC Genoa components, it’s possible that they’ll use the same die, albeit with certain bits disabled for regular consumers.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Desktop CPUs will be built on the Zen 4 core architecture and manufactured on TSMC’s 5nm node
A new socket, maybe called the TR5 or SP5r2, will be created around the Threadripper platform. With Zen 2 and Zen 3 Threadripper possibilities, the existing TR4 socket lasted two generations. For the future socket, which will enable new technologies such as DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, AMD is likely to maintain a similar cadence. Later Threadripper CPUs based on the Bergamo chip (Zen 4C) could have up to 128 cores, although that remains to be seen.
Threadripper for HEDT/Workstation was released more than a year after the mainstream Zen 3 family was released. If that’s the case, Ryzen Threadripper 7000 CPUs based on the Zen 4 core architecture would most likely debut in Q4 2023 or Q1 2024. It will be slightly more than a year since Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 CPUs for the mainstream AM5 platform were released.
