From the above table parameters, it is not difficult to find that only the flagship 5995WX has a full 256MB cache, the 32/24 core high-end model has only 128MB cache, and the entry-level 16/12 core version is only 64MB. All SKUs have a nominal TDP power consumption of 280W, complemented by an acceleration frequency of up to 4.55 GHz (the base frequency varies). Compared with the previous generation of 4.2GHz, 4.3GHz is indeed a significant performance improvement.
In addition, the thread ripper PRO 5000WX series is a package interface of sWRX8, which requires a dedicated TRX80 motherboard and supports dual parallelism, which is not compatible with the TRX40 on the desktop. This means that the RTX40 HEDT platform will stop at the Threadripper 3000 series product line based on the Zen 2 CPU architecture.
As for the price, the amD Ryzen™ 5000 series consumer processors have increased a lot compared to the 3000 series, and it is expected that the pricing of the Thread Ripper 5000 series will continue to rise.
