Last year, AMD reintroduced the original OEM-oriented Threadripper PRO 5000WX series processors to the DIY market. Moreover, AMD had made it clear that it had unified the Threadripper and Threadripper PRO product lines for enthusiasts and content creators, and that the Threadripper PRO platform would be the only one going forward.

However, with the launch of Intel’s new generation of Xeon HEDT / workstation processors W2400/3400, AMD may also enable both Threadripper and Threadripper PRO product lines to compete with Intel’s products.

According to tipster “g01d3nm4ng0”, AMD will release the Threadripper 7000 series processors codenamed “Storm Peak” later this year. The Thread Ripper 7000 series will include HEDT and workstation series, the former supports 4-channel memory, has 64 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and supports overclocking; the latter supports 8-channel memory, has 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and does not support overclocking.

Phoronix tested on a System76 Thelio Major workstation pre-installed with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X processor. This processor has 64 cores and 128 threads. Although it is based on the Zen 2 architecture, its multi-threading capability is still powerful.

The Linux system has greatly optimized the performance of AMD processors in the past three years. Phoronix uses the 2020 Pop!_OS system and the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS stable version for performance testing.

The results show that Vulkan and drivers further optimize the performance of AMD Ryzen processors, and Linux systems optimize APIs to more fully call AMD cores and threads.

Compared to 2020 when the CPU was first released, the AlexNet Vulkan general neural network inference framework (ncnn) benchmark has improved by 444.7%. Meanwhile, other ncnn tests also show close to 175% improvement or almost three times performance boost.

Phoronix performed a total of 135 tests. In terms of the geometric mean of all the results, the new Linux PC was found to be almost 15% faster, which is quite a lot considering there are so many tests.
