Two AMD Threadripper 7000 "Storm Peak" engineering samples with 96 cores and 192 threads pop up online

A few months ago, we were reporting on what looked like an upcoming Threadripper 7000 processor that had popped up on the Einstein@Home site with the same 64-core / 128-thread configuration as the current top-of-the-line Threadripper PRO 5995 WX model. Two new database entries from the same site now reveal that AMD may be planning to release even more powerful Threadripper 7000 models with up to 96 cores and 192 threads.

AMD’s Threadripper 7000 processors codenamed “Storm Peak” are expected to feature the new 5 nm Zen 4 cores and, if the new information leaked on the Einstein@Home site is correct, these could integrate up to 12 CCDs. The database entries suggest that the leaked models are engineering samples, whereas the last 4 characters from the included OPN codes hint at versions with 2.0 GHz (20_Y) and 2.1 GHz (21_N) base clocks.

Knowing that the Threadripper processors are very similar to the EPYC models, it looks like a Threadripper 7000 processor with 96 cores and 192 threads could be derived from the EPYC 9654. However, the leaked base clocks on the Threadripper 7000 seem lower by 300 MHz, so boost clocks may not reach 3.7 GHz. In this case, the TDP may be quite a bit lower than 360 W. All things considered, the prices would no doubt approach US$10,000 at launch some time in Q1 / Q2 2023, seeing that the current 5995 WX 64-core version costs US$7,900 right now.
