AMD took the stage at Computex 2025 to unveil the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series—its most powerful family of desktop and workstation CPUs to date.
Each year, AMD brings major announcements to Computex, and 2025 is no exception. The Threadripper 9000 and Threadripper 9000 Pro continue the company’s award-winning line of workstation processors, delivering industry-leading performance designed for content creation, complex processing tasks and AI workloads. Built on AMD’s next-generation Zen 5 architecture, the Threadripper 9000 chips offer extreme multi-core performance tailored to meet the demands of modern users.
Leading the pack is the powerful Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX, boasting a staggering 96 cores and 192 threads. Designed to meet the needs of studios, engineers and AI developers, this CPU delivers industry-leading computing power for everything from complex simulations and VFX rendering to large-scale machine learning tasks. Traditionally reserved for servers and data centres, this level of performance is now available to independent creators and workstation users, bringing server-class power to desktops ready to tackle any challenge.
For this launch, AMD has divided the Threadripper 9000 lineup into two segments: the PRO 9000 WX-Series for professional workstations, and the enthusiast-focused Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series. While designed to be slightly more accessible, the new 9980X still packs a punch with 64 cores and 128 threads—ideal for software compilation, video editing and local AI model training, all from a single chip.
With boost speeds up to 5.4 GHz, AVX-512 support, PCIe 5.0 compatibility with up to 128 lanes of I/O connectivity, and up to eight-channel DDR5-6400 ECC memory support, AMD has built the new Threadripper range to handle even the most demanding workloads with ease.
While Zen 5 was already an impressive CPU architecture, the Threadripper lineup pushes things even further, offering the most powerful performance of this generation. AMD’s new Threadripper 9000 series supports massive memory bandwidth, advanced PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, and, in the PRO models, AMD PRO Technologies. Built for the most demanding workloads, these features include enterprise-grade security, remote management tools and guaranteed platform stability, making them a top choice for IT departments and power users alike.
Despite all this power, AMD promises industry-leading energy efficiency, thanks to Zen 5’s refined design. From what we’ve seen with current AM5-based Zen 5 chips, the new platform not only matches or exceeds Zen 4 performance, but does so using less power, allowing users to push systems even further. With Threadripper, the story appears consistent, bringing enthusiast-grade improvements to the professional and prosumer markets.
Slated for launch in July, AMD is making it clear: there’s no longer a need to compromise for top-tier performance. The Threadripper 9000 series is built to take on modern workflows with power to spare.
