AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9965WX
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9965WX
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9965WX processor is designed for professional workstations requiring parallel task processing. It is based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture and manufactured using 4nm technology. It offers 24 cores and 48 threads, enabling it to handle tasks like 3D rendering, scientific computing, or large-scale data analysis. The base frequency is 4.2GHz, which can be dynamically increased to 5.4GHz using Precision Boost 2 technology. The processor is designed for the AMD TR5 socket platform and requires motherboards with WRX90 or TRX50 chipsets.

Zen 5 architecture and connectivity
The processor is built on the Zen 5 microarchitecture, manufactured using 4nm technology. It features 128MB of L3 cache and 24MB of L2 cache, improving access to frequently used data and reducing latency. Its thermal design power (TDP) is 350W, so it requires an appropriate cooling solution, which is not included in the package. The processor communicates with other components via the PCIe 5.0 interface and provides a total of 128 usable lanes. This interface enables the connection of multiple graphics cards, NVMe storage drives, and other expansion cards. The eight-channel DDR5 memory controller supports RDIMM modules.
Platform and professional features
This workstation processor supports AMD PRO technologies, which include security features like AMD Memory Guard for RAM encryption and AMD-V virtualisation support. The Simultaneous Multi-Threading feature increases the number of logical threads and enables more efficient use of multi-threaded applications. The processor has an unlocked multiplier, which enables manual frequency adjustment when using a compatible platform and adequate cooling.

Processor cores and threads
Processor cores work, to some extent, like separate processors and can handle computing tasks independently of each other. This means that the more physical cores a processor has, the more tasks it can process simultaneously. Threads can be described as separate virtual cores, which all modern processors have. An eight-core processor typically has sixteen threads, allowing it to handle sixteen processes at once.
Processor frequency
The operating frequency indicates the processor's speed. In general, a processor with a higher frequency can execute instructions faster than one with a lower frequency. A higher frequency ensures smoother and faster responses in everyday computer use, such as launching applications, browsing the internet, or editing documents. It ranges from 1 to 5GHz. Some CPUs enable a short-term frequency increase under high load (Turbo Boost).
L2 and L3 cache
To work as fast as possible, a processor needs fast storage where it can store temporary data. The L2 and L3 cache, located directly on the processor, serves this purpose. While these memory caches are significantly smaller than RAM, they are also faster. L2 and L3 are the first storage the processor interacts with, and generally, the larger, the better.
Processor socket
Before choosing a new processor, you need to know which hardware connector (socket) your motherboard uses to connect the CPU. The processor and motherboard must have the same socket designation; this is the first step towards a functional build. Another important factor is the type of RAM. You should know what type of RAM you have.
TDP (Thermal Design Power)
TDP (Thermal Design Power) is a processor parameter that indicates the amount of heat it produces under maximum load, and also suggests its energy consumption. A lower TDP means the processor consumes less energy and generates less heat, which is ideal for laptops or energy-efficient systems. Conversely, processors with a high TDP offer higher performance but require advanced cooling to prevent overheating.
Processor cooling
A processor, much like a graphics card, generates heat when it's working, which needs to be dissipated to keep the processor itself cool. Some chip packages already include a cooler, but if you want to be absolutely sure you have enough cooling for your processor's performance, you should buy an external one. External CPU coolers come in various sizes and performance levels, and many support stylish RGB backlighting. You can choose from traditional air cooling or modern liquid cooling options.Specifications
