AMD's new Threadripper chips are seriously beefy. Of course they come with seriously beefy price tags to match.
These chips were announced back in March and are only available within majorly expensive corpo workstation builds from Lenovo and Dell. They will be sold separately for DIY builders, however, but that won't happen until"later this year," so says AMD.
Most impressive of the lot is the 5995WX, which comes with 64 cores and 128 threads of the current generation Zen 3 architecture. That makes for a mean combination of high throughput and genuinely high clock speeds, at 4.5GHz boost across the lineup. That's genuinely great for a processor with so many cores.
For $6,499, however, this chip needs to deliver in absolutely every way. It certainly is stacked up to do so. But these are the Pro versions of AMD's Threadripper chips, and they do tend to rack up the bill a fair bit. You might then be thinking that you'd be better off waiting for the non-Pro versions of these chips to arrive.
