AMD Unleashes the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series

If you thought your rig was powerful, AMD just rewrote the definition of “beast mode.” The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series, announced at Computex 2025, is the kind of silicon sorcery that makes even the most hardcore gamers and creators stop mid-frame and say, “Wait… what?”

Starting July 23, 2025, AMD’s Zen 5-powered workstation monsters will be available through major OEMs like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Supermicro. DIY builders can snag the chips individually from AMD’s global channel partners.

These CPUs aren’t just fast—they’re absurdly fast. Built on the Zen 5 architecture, the Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series is engineered for extreme multitasking, AI workloads, and rendering pipelines. But let’s be honest—gamers with a taste for overkill are drooling too.

Model	Cores/Threads	Base/Boost Clock	L3 Cache	TDP	Price (USD)
9995WX	96 / 192	2.5 GHz / 5.4 GHz	384MB	350W	$11,699
9985WX	64 / 128	3.2 GHz / 5.4 GHz	256MB	350W	$7,999
9975WX	32 / 64	4.0 GHz / 5.4 GHz	128MB	350W	$4,099
9965WX	24 / 48	4.2 GHz / 5.4 GHz	128MB	350W	$2,899
9955WX	16 / 32	4.5 GHz / 5.4 GHz	64MB	350W	$1,649

These chips support 8-channel DDR5-6400 memory, up to 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and full AVX-512 instructions for next-gen performance.

Why Gamers Should Care

While Threadripper PRO is traditionally aimed at workstations, enthusiast gamers and streamers who run complex setups—think multi-GPU rigs, simultaneous 4K streaming, mod-heavy open-world games, and AI-enhanced workflows—will find this lineup irresistible.

Key Gaming Benefits:

Insane multitasking: Run your game, stream, encode, and mod simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
PCIe 5.0 lanes: Plug in multiple GPUs and NVMe drives for ultra-fast load times and AI-enhanced gameplay.
DDR5-6400 memory: Say goodbye to bottlenecks and hello to buttery smooth performance.
Overclocking support: Yes, even these monsters can be pushed further—if your cooling setup can handle it.

Performance Benchmarks (Early Estimates)

Task	Performance Boost vs. Previous Gen
V-Ray Rendering	Up to 2.4× faster
KeyShot	Up to 2.2× faster
Adobe After Effects	Up to 78% faster
AI Inference (DeepSeek R1 32B)	49% better throughput

Whether you’re rendering cinematic cutscenes or training AI bots for your next indie game, this chip delivers.

Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series fits into WRX90 motherboards for full 8-channel memory and 128 PCIe lanes. It’s also compatible with TRX50 boards, though with reduced memory and PCIe support—perfect for high-end desktop gamers who want workstation power without the full enterprise setup.

If you’re a gamer who lives for maximum performance, zero compromise, and future-proofing your rig for years to come, the Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series is your new holy grail. It’s not just a CPU—it’s a statement.
