AMD Threadripper PRO Workstation Computers

Threadripper PRO is the result of AMD adapting their server-class EPYC processor line to more workstation-oriented applications. It offers very high core counts, but with faster turbo boost speeds than the EPYC family – while also supporting many more PCI-Express lanes and memory channels than AMD’s mainstream Ryzen models. The latest Threadripper PRO 5000 WX generation also increases per-core performance even further, thanks to its use of the newer Zen 3 core architecture.

With the release of the Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series came the news that AMD is retiring the non-PRO Threadripper line. The PRO models are more capable in almost every way, though, and faster as well with this new generation. That mix of features requires a powerful chipset and complex motherboard, and comes with a high price tag as well – but for those needing a combination of massive core counts, memory capacity & bandwidth, and PCIe connectivity the Threadripper PRO platform is hard to beat.

Major Features of AMD Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series:
– 16 to 64 core processors (a 12 core model exists too, but is limited to OEMs)
– 8 memory channels of DDR4 at up to 3200MHz
– Support for multiple memory types (ECC and non-ECC, DIMMs and RDIMMS)
– 128 PCI-Express Gen 4.0 lanes
– IPMI support for remote management
