Introduction to AMD’s New Processor Line

Not many individuals require a 96-core processor, but for those who do, such as creative professionals, engineers, and AI developers, AMD has unveiled a new series of chips at Computex 2025. On Tuesday, the company announced its new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series, boasting impressive specs designed to power high-end workstations and ultra-high-end prosumer desktops.

Top-of-the-Line Processor: AMD Threadripper Pro 9995WX

The flagship model in the series is the AMD Threadripper Pro 9995WX, featuring an impressive 96 cores and 192 threads, matching the top-end model from the 2023 Threadripper Pro 7000 line. However, the new 9000 series surpasses its predecessor with a higher maximum boost speed of 5.4GHz, up from 5.1GHz in the premiere 7000 Pro chip.

The Threadripper Pro WX Series

AMD’s new batch includes six processors in the Threadripper Pro WX series, designed for professional-level workstations. In addition to the 96-core 9995WX, the series offers 12-, 16-, 24-, 32-, and 64-core models. Beyond the Pro series, the standard Threadripper 9000 line for high-end desktops maxes out with the 64-core, 128-thread 9980X.

Pricing and Availability

Although AMD has not yet announced pricing or specific retail models carrying the chips, the 7000 Pro series provides a hint. The top-shelf model from that line costs $10,000, indicating that the new series may be priced similarly. Unless your work involves extremely demanding tasks such as AI development, 3D modeling, or ultra-high-res video editing, you may not need to consider these high-end processors.
