AMD

Ryzen Threadripper 7960X Spec and Price in Italy

sTR524 cores / 48 threads

Released October 19, 2023 ·

AMD's entry point back into HEDT: 24 Zen 4 cores and 48 threads boost to 5.3GHz from a 4.2GHz base, backed by 128MB of L3 cache inside a 350W TDP — twice the L3 cache and eight more cores than the AM5 flagship 9950X, at a considerably higher power draw. Quad-channel DDR5-5200 memory and up to 48 PCIe 5.0 lanes give it far more platform I/O than any AM5 desktop socket offers. Unlocked but sold without a cooler, it suits creators and developers who need more memory bandwidth and expansion than AM5 provides.

Tied 31st of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 8 models share this figure. Tied 4th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 8 models share this figure.

Guides for this category

How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.
