Leaked Configurations

The leaked information suggests two Threadripper 9000 series CPUs:

  • 96-Core/192-Thread: Featuring 12 CCDs, each with 32MB of L3 cache, totaling 384MB.

The 96-core variant appears to share similar specifications with the Threadripper PRO 7995WX, including a 350W TDP and 128 PCIe lanes. The key difference lies in the newer Zen 5 architecture and the use of a 4nm process node.

Expected Lineup and Release

While only the 16-core and 96-core variants have been leaked so far, it's expected that AMD will release a full range of Threadripper 9000 series CPUs, likely including 24-core, 32-core, and 64-core options.

Both the Threadripper 9000 and Threadripper PRO 9000 series are expected to launch in 2025, using the TRX50 and WRX90 chipsets, respectively. An exact release date has not yet been confirmed.
