AMD launches Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Shimada Peak series led by the 96C/192T 350 W Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX
Computex 2025AMD introduced the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 "Shimada Peak" lineup based on the Zen 5 architecture at Computex 2025. Similar to the Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 Threadrippers, the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 family also comes differentiated into two lineups — Pro for Workstation (WX) and non-Pro for HEDT (X).
The Threadripper Pro WX series starts from the Threadripper Pro 9945WX featuring 12 cores 24 threads and 76 MB total cache. Leading the pack is the AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX with 96 cores and 192 threads. The Threadripper Pro 9995WX offers a total of 480 MB cache and runs at a 350 W TDP.
The full Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX features a central 6 nm I/O die flanked by two rows of six compute dies on each side (total of 12 compute dies), with each compute die being comprised of eight CPU cores for a total of 96 cores. The corresponding number of compute dies are removed depending on the number of cores offered by each SKU.
The non-Pro HEDT lineup starts from the 24C/48T Threadripper 9960X with 152 MB total cache and tops out with the Threadripper 9980X that offers 64 cores and 128 threads with 320 MB total cache.
All Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9000WX and Threadripper 9000X CPUs can boost up to 5.4 GHz and operate at a 350 W TDP. These CPUs, including the entry-level 12-core 24-thread Threadripper Pro 9945WX, offer 128 PCIe lanes and will be offer drop-in compatibility with existing socket sTR5 motherboards and cooling solutions.
Also, the Ryzen Threadripper 9000WX can support 8-channel DDR5-6400 memory on the WR90 chipset while the non-Pro Threadripper 9000X CPUs are limited to quad-channel DDR5-6400 with the TRX50 chipset.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX takes on the Intel Xeon W9-3595X
AMD also showed a few performance comparisons with Intel's current flagship HEDT offering, the 60C/120T Xeon W9-3595X Sapphire Rapids Refresh. The Xeon W9-3595X features boosts up to 4.5 GHz, 112.5 MB of L3 cache, and runs at a 385 W TDP.
AMD claims a 2.2x increase in Cinebench multi-core performance with the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX over the Xeon W9-3595X and a 22% increase over the previous generation Threadripper 7995WX.
The Threadripper Pro 9995WX was also shown to offer substantial performance increases to the tune of 140-245% industrial applications such as V-Ray, Autodesk Maya, Corona Render, LM Studio and others.
The Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series will be available in July. AMD hasn't disclosed the pricing for the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series but expect it to be priced in a similar ballpark as the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 parts. In other words, nearly $10,000 for the top spec Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX.
