AMD Threadripper Pro 3995WX

[erek]

"The Threadripper Pro won't be available on the retail market. The 7nm processors target OEM and system integrators (SI). Lenovo's ThinkStation P620 is one of the first systems to feature the Threadripper Pro 3995WX. Spotted by hardware sleuth @momomo_us, the ThinkStation P620 (30E0004MUS) is up for purchase at Bottom Line Telecommunications with a soul-crushing price tag of $18,090.39. But that's apparently a bargain; the suggested retail price for the ThinkStation P620 is $19,559.00, according to the retailer.

With its 64 CPU cores and 128 threads, the Threadripper Pro 3995WX inside the Lenovo system is the flagship SKU of the Threadripper Pro family. It runs with a 2.7 GHz base clock and 4.3 GHz boost clock, only 100 MHz lower than the Threadripper 3990X that it just crushed in PassMark. The Threadripper Pro 3995WX scored 88,675 CPU marks over the Threadripper 3990X's 79,746, meaning the Pro variant is up to 11.2% faster.

	Cores / Threads	Base / Boost (GHz)	L3 Cache (MB)	PCIe .40	DRAM	TDP
Threadripper Pro 3995WX	64 / 128	2.70 / 4.20	256	128	Eight-Channel DDR4-3200	280W
Threadripper 3990X	64 / 128	2.90 / 4.30	256	88 (72 Usable)	Quad DDR4-3200	280W
EPYC 7702	64 / 128	2.00 / 3.35	256	128	Eight-Channel DDR4-3200	200W
EPYC 7742	64 / 128	2.25 / 3.40	256	128	Eight-Channel DDR4-3200	225W

Now it's easier to see why the ThinkStation P620 costs what it costs. In addition to the Threadripper Pro 3995WX, the listed model comes equipped with 128GB of DDR4-3200 ECC memory and a pair of Nvidia's Quadro RTX 6000 GPUs binded together through NVLink. The system's storage is a bit underwhelming though since it only has a single 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD installed. However, the ThinkStation P620 does provide a 10G Gigabit Ethernet port.

The aforementioned model is just one of 48 possible configurations that Bottom Line Telecommunications. The entry-level ThinkStation P620 (30E0003LUS) starts at $2,058.88 and comes equipped with the 12-core Threadripper Pro 3945WX, 16GB of RAM and the 1TB SSD. Bottom Line Telecommunications doesn't list the graphics card inside this model."

That is awesome. Here we are, not really that long after dual cores debuted, with 64C/128T processors available in a desktop sized form factor.

Cool time to be alive!

Cool, but ultimately useless on the desktop,outside of a few very narrow corner cases.

99.99% of users would be better served by fewer cores with higher clocks.

99.9% of users won't spend the cash on this CPU anyway - it's not for "most people." It's for people that use their computers to make money with scientific computing, but don't have the budget for full on clusters or enterprise distributed computing builds that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I had a 2990wx and upgraded recently to a 3990WX. I wish I could purchase this 3995wx but I build my workstations and refuse to buy from an OEM. I have software that utilizes all 64 cores and could use twice as many if I had them.

The high core count threadripper CPUs like these are such an amazing value to small businesses users who do scientific computing. The software I use charges $10k per GPU "token" per quarter if you want GPU acceleration, and charges additional thousands and thousands of dollars if you want multiple CPUs or clusters.

To be able to throw 64 cores in a single socket is just such a fucking bargain at the prices AMD is offering these to us at; I could easily justify spending $10k for 128 cores if it was on the market. It'd save me a ton of money in software license costs alone, let alone the money I'd make from faster performance. Some of our simulations take days to run - every day the product gets to market faster means thousands of additional dollars in revenue.

you know what pisses me off the most?

the lack luster efforts put into any of the Review Kits lately!

2990WX was absolutely ballin'. It's despicable. it's disgusting at the lack of effort with these latest releases! The Review Kits are the most coveted expressions of enthusiasm! Shame on them all!
