AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX

[Dann Corbit]

But having a chip such as the Threadripper PRO 3995WX in the system is not cheap. Primarily, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO series processors will not go on public sale. At first, the only company, Lenovo, will be engaged in the distribution of ready-made systems based on them.

The Chinese manufacturer has already unveiled the ThinkStation P620 workstation, the configuration of which, in addition to the new CPUs, will include up to 1 TB DDR4-3200, two Nvidia Quadro RTX 8000 video cards or four Quadro RTX 4000 video cards, a 10 Gbps network controller, several SSDs and disk drives. , as well as a 1000 W power supply. The described system based on the flagship Threadripper PRO 3995WX chip is estimated at almost $ 18,100.

Only 1000W??
Poor PSU

Only 1000W??
Poor PSU

I have a bigger one than that in my 3970x.
figure 300 watts each for CPU, and two GPUs gives 900 and you are not powering the power hungry motherboard, RAM or disk drives yet.

Their page says it's only up to 512 GB RAM. The first DDR5 chips have just been released.
"leaked slide shows planned DDR5 support on Intel's 2021 Sapphire Rapids microarchitecture.[14] According to AMD's Forrest Norrod, AMD's mid-2020 Zen 3 based third generation Epyc CPUs will still use DDR4.[15] A leaked internal AMD roadmap is reported to show DDR5 support for 2022 Zen 4 CPUs and Zen 3+ APUs."

I guess the reason for OEM only is that they do not want to cut into their Epyc sales.
Since the new CPU with WX motherboard has all the capabilities of Epyc in terms of RAM and I/O, they want a platform that won't send Epyc high end customers scurrying off to buy one.

Sure as shooting you would be able to run a stack of virtual machines doing database and web server jobs on one of those bad boys.

Ah you're right, it was Lenovo, not HP.

Zen 3 was announced today:

I guess there is no information yet on whether pext/pdep were fixed.

Decent performance increase. I'm guessing Threadripper in Dec/Jan??

Is that an issue? I’m still waiting for mine to actually finish downloading Visual Studio, several hours later, then will see what 64x does. Maybe tomorrow.
I figured to leave messing with the intrinsics and see what VS decides via compiler optimisations, if anything.

[smatovic]

Apparently, it will offer 8 channel memory up to 2TB.
But the burning question is, will it have a boatload of PCIE-4 channels like the EPYC chips do?

Octa-channel, 128 PCIe lanes, own sWRX8 socket, seems to come as OEM only.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryzen#Ryzen_3000

I am also keen for those memory-channels, but I guess for a custom-build machine with 2x GPU setup 64 PCIe lanes ought to be enough? Not sure how many lanes all the IO stuff of the mobo eats up.

I am at my utter limit with my 3970x, and was thinking about Epyc for my next build (about a year and a half from now). This architecture is an interesting alternative.

AMD Zen 4 Genova is expected for around 2021/2022, new socket, maybe TSMC 5nm, maybe DDR5, maybe PCIe-5, interesting times with Zen...

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-z ... 40561.html

I may chime in when TSMC 3nm is ready for Zen.
