Leadership Architecture

AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 5000 WX-Series processors are based on 7nm process technology, delivering an unmatched CPU core density for professional workloads. Additionally, the platform offers full spectrum performance leadership2 by addressing single threaded and multithreaded bottlenecks commonly found in professional software applications.

Platform Expandability

• AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO Processors Support for 128 PCIe® 4.0 lanes, which delivers twice the I/O performance over PCIe 3.0.
• Accelerate workflows with next-gen professional GPUs and high-speed storage devices
  
• Enables a variety of advanced workstation configurations

With the introduction of the Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO processors, AMD is ushering in a third wave of high performance workstation computing, marrying the best of superscalar and multi-core CPU design with AMD infinity architecture. The end result delivers on a long sought-after goal of high-demand computing professionals: access to dramatic performance scaling with additional computing cores without sacrificing single-thread performance for those workloads that still demand it. To get there, AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO processors achieved several technical milestones, becoming the first professional workstation-caliber CPU built on a 7 nm process technology, implementing a significantly enhanced “Zen 2” microarchitecture, and leveraging AMD infinity architecture and chiplet design methodology.

The High Performance "Zen 3" Architecture

Debuting in AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series desktop processors, the "Zen 3" architecture is a ground-up redesign of the legendary "Zen” family. Equipped with end-to-end design enhancements, "Zen 3" embodies AMD’s relentless focus on single-core performance, energy efficiency, and reduced latencies. It’s at the core of the best gaming processors in the world.

Total Redesign

The "Zen 3" architecture represents the most comprehensive design overhaul of the "Zen" era. Over 20 major changes include: wider and more flexible execution resources; significantly more load/store bandwidth to feed execution; and a streamlined front-end to get more threads in flight—and do it faster.

Higher Instructions Per Clock (IPC)

The "Zen 3" architecture can extract an average of 19% additional performance from every MHz of frequency relative to the previous generation. This a historically large generational improvement in IPC, and a major player in the architecture’s ability to deliver unmatched single-core performance.

Lower Latency

The "Zen 3" architecture transitions to a new "unified complex" design that brings 8 cores and 32MB of L3 cache into a single group of resources. This dramatically reduces core-to-core and core-to-cache latencies by making every element of the die a next-door neighbor with minimal communication time. Latency-sensitive tasks like PC gaming especially benefit from this change, as tasks now have direct access to twice as much L3 cache versus "Zen 2."

King of the Hill

The combination of higher IPC and the unified 8-core complex are a potent combination for PC games. Customers upgrading from the AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Series to the 5000 Series can expect an average of 26% better gaming performance at 1080p. But that’s not all: processors with "Zen 3," like the AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900X, are the best in the world for PC gaming.

Incredible Efficiency

Impressively, the performance gains of the "Zen 3" architecture can be delivered with no increase to power consumption or TDP. The combination of a state-of-the-art architecture and industry-leading 7nm process give the AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series a +24% generational improvement in energy efficiency5, and a stunning 2.8X lead over competing architectures
