New AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series Processors are the Ultimate Workstation Processors for Professionals with Up-to Double the Performance..
AMD has announced the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series workstation processors, led by the 64-core, 128-thread AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX. Building on the best-selling and award-winning Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 WX processors, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processors bring dominant, full-spectrum performance leadership across multiple workstation workloads due to the performance and efficiency of the “Zen 3” core architecture and increased processor frequencies. Today also marks the launch of the first workstations powered by the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processors – the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 featuring all five of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processor models – providing workstation users with industry-leading performance.
“For many workstation users, success is dependent on having the right tools to complete jobs quickly, which is why they need hardware that provides unmatched performance and gives them a competitive edge,” said Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager, client business unit. “We created the Ryzen Threadripper PRO Ryzen 5000 WX-Series processors with this in mind, bringing professionals the incredible performance and efficiency needed to run today’s most demanding workstation applications faster than ever before.”
“We have rendered
an incredible amount of frames with EPYC server processors and a Threadripper
Pro 5000WX processor. The magic is in the iterations. A single visual effects
shot could have hundreds or more updates and it takes immense processing power
to turn around these iterations quickly,” said Paul Lambert, two-time Academy
Award winner and VFX Supervisor for Dune. “We’ve been lucky to demo the new
Threadripper PRO. We’re seeing a 2X improvement on our CPU render times.”
“Threadripper PRO
5000 WX-Series were the best performing processors we have tested for ILM
StageCraft,” said Nick Rasmussen, Principal Engineer and Architect, StageCraft,
Industrial Light & Magic. “It’s significantly faster than the equivalent
Threadripper PRO 3000 WX processor, and we saw up to a 2X or more speedup on
CPU heavy loads versus our performance baseline. This high performance coupled
with the extensive I/O capabilities makes Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series an
ideal workstation processor for our cutting-edge virtual production work."
“Over the last two years, we’ve seen
tremendous market demand for the ThinkStation P620 across industries where our
customers depend on us to provide professional-grade workstations that can not
only keep pace, but outperform what was previously possible,” said Rob Herman,
Vice President of Lenovo’s Workstation and Client AI Business Unit. “We’re
excited to continue working closely with AMD to bring the next generation of
the ThinkStation P620, powered by the latest Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors,
to artists, architects, engineers and other demanding professional users. With
this new system, our customers can accelerate increasingly complex workflows in
order to get more done in less time.”
"Ever since
their introduction, the Ryzen Threadripper CPUs have offered impressive
rendering performance,” said Vlado Koylazov, Academy Award Winner and
Co-Founder, Chaos. “The new Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processors further
improve on this, allowing 3D artists and architectural visualization
professionals unparalleled ability to accomplish even more in less time.”
“This year we've
began migrating all global studios production systems to AMD, with EPYC
processors powering our render farms and Threadripper PRO processors powering
our workstations,” said Sayma Mishra, Chief DCC Technology Officer, Binyan
Studios. “The new capabilities and performance have been a game changer for
Binyan Studios and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processors take us
to new heights.”

Ryzen Threadripper PRO Processors
The AMD
Threadripper processor lineup redefined the workstation market when it launched
in 2017, bringing unmatched core counts and multi-threaded performance for
enthusiasts, prosumers and professional users. Since its first generation, AMD
has continued to expand the Threadripper lineup, increasing the performance,
core, and thread counts reflected in real-world success, while introducing key
support and security features for enterprise users, providing the tools
necessary to handle the most demanding creative and production workloads
quickly and efficiently.
Building on the
success of AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 WX processors, the Ryzen
Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processors combine the incredible performance
of the “Zen 3” architecture with the enterprise security features,
manageability, and scalability of AMD PRO technologies. With higher frequencies
and an enhanced L3 cache architecture, the new Ryzen Threadripper PRO
processors ensure users can tackle lightly threaded workloads, while also
delivering leading multithreaded performance.
Leadership
Performance
Delivering up to
double the performance of competing single socket solutions and up to 95% higher performance than
workstations using two competing server processors, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO
5000 WX-Series processors deliver dominant performance on multiple workloads
across the entire product portfolio .
AMD Ryzen
Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processors support an industry-leading 128 PCIe
4.0 lanes, enabling more graphics and storage expandability than competing
solutions. The processors enable up to 43% higher graphics performance and up
to 2.2x the storage performance of competing solutions.
Advancing
Efficiency
Consuming up to
67% lower power per core, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series processors
deliver up to double the performance-to-power ratio of competing
solutions. The processor’s highly
efficient “Zen 3” cores advance sustainability, while delivering industry-leading
performance.
Designed to
handle the most complex professional workloads, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000
WX-Series processor lineup delivers the ability to render and edit in 8K,
develop complex simulations and designs and rapidly develop and compile code to
give professionals a competitive edge and do more in less time.
