In March of this year, AMD officially released the Zen3 architecture-based Raider Thread Ripper PRO 5000WX series, but Lenovo workstations exclusively debuted until the end of June when AMD announced that it was open to more OEM/SI manufacturers and would be pushed to the retail market by the end of the year.
