AMD’s next-generation Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series ‘HEDT’ processors, based on the Zen 4 core architecture, have also been described in detail in Moore’s Law is dead.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors up to 96 Zen 4 cores only in the PRO version
AMD has only recently introduced its Threadripper PRO 5000 processors based on the Zen 3 core architecture and gave Lenovo the exclusivity of the launch. With that said, the company certainly has plans to release the next-generation Ryzen Threadripper 7000 line, but according to the latest rumors, these SKUs will also be branded under the “PRO” flag.
According to MLID, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 desktop processors will have up to 96 cores and 192 threads based on the Zen 4 core architecture and are manufactured on a 5-nm TSMC node. The processors will replace the existing Chagall line and will be designed exclusively for high-end and extreme workstation users. Since the number of cores is the same as EPYC Genoa partsthey will probably use the same matrix, but with certain details disabled for standard consumers.
That’s where the new platform starts to play. For EPYC AMD is going to move to the new SP5 socket. The new socket will also be developed around the Threadripper platform and may be known as TR5 or SP5r2. The existing TR4 socket has served two generations with Zen 2 and Zen 3 Threadripper options. AMD is likely to maintain a similar cadence for a future socket that will support new technologies such as DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. We can expect later Threadripper processors to have up to 128 cores based on the Bergamo die (Zen 4C), but that remains to be seen. We also saw several Genoa SP5 boards containing dual sockets LGA-6096 so they can also come to the Threadripper family given that Intel is going the same way with it Xeon-W Sapphire Rapids chips.

The main problem with the AMD Threadripper platform in general is the schedule of its launch. The Threadripper for HEDT / Workstation was introduced more than a year after the launch of the core Zen 3 family. If so, we’ll probably see Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors based on the Zen 4 core architecture to launch in Q4 2023 or Q4 2024 year. It will be just over a year after the launch of the Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 processor for the AM5 core platform. With that said, AMD is likely to offer Lenovo exclusivity or timing again.
