AMD is refreshing its Threadripper Pro line of workstation-class processors for the first time since the company introduced the Threadripper Pro 3000 WX series in 2020.

The new AMD Threadripper Pro 5000 WX Series processors feature CPU cores, 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, and support for up to 2TB of RAM. There are five models available at launch, ranging from a 12-core, 24-thread processor to a 64-core, 128-thread chip.

As Anandtech points out, the new processors bridge the gap between AMD’s consumer-oriented Ryzen desktop processors and the company’s EPYC 70003 chips for servers, offering many of the same features, but in a design that’s more appropriate for desktop computers than servers.

Compared with the previous-gen Ryzen Threadripper Pro chips, the new processors feature Zen 3 CPU cores (up from Zen 2), higher boost frequencies, and improved efficiency: AMD says that while the new chips have a 280-watt TDP, just like their predecessors, they use up to 67% less power per core.

Model	Cores / Threads	Boost /Base Frequency (GHz)	Total Cache (MB)	TDP (Watts)	PCIe 4.0 lanes	Memory Support
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX	64/128	Up to 4.5/2.7	288MB	280W	128	Up to 2TB ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX	32/64	Up to 4.5/3.6	144MB	280W	128	Up to 2TB ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX	24/48	Up to 4.5/3.8	140MB	280W	128	Up to 2TB ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX	16/32	Up to 4.5/4.0	72MB	280W	128	Up to 2TB ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5945WX	12/24	Up to 4.5/4.1	70MB	280W	128	Up to 2TB ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM

The first computer powered by AMD’s new chips is the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 Tower Workstation, which is available now for $1937 and up. Additional workstations from other companies are expected to launch later this year.

The new chips also use the same sWRX8 socket as the Ryzen Pro 3000 WX series, which means that folks who want to upgrade will only need a firmware update for WRX80 motherboards to do so.

Amazon rainforest is losing its ability to recover from destruction

Satellite research finds that an irreversible “tipping point” could be approaching.

Deforestation in Amazon to create grazing for cattle.

The Amazon rainforest is losing its ability to recover from destruction, and parts of it are approaching “a catastrophic tipping point”, warns a leading scientist after a new study using two decades of satellite data.

The research found that in more than three-quarters of the world’s largest rainforest its resilience to damaging events, such as droughts or fires, had declined consistently since the early 2000s.

The study by Exeter university, the Potsdam Institute and Munich technical university used satellite information to track changes over 25 years to examine how the Amazon’s vegetation had responded to fluctuating weather conditions.
