AMD® Ryzen™ Threadripper 2920X

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X is a desktop processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Zen+ architecture (12 nm process). It launched in Oct 2018. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.3 GHz boost. A 32-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.3 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. Rated TDP is 180 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X scores 2,479 in single-core performance and 25,199 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,904 for overall performance, 19,850 for productivity performance, 18,322 for creator performance, 27,404 for engineering performance and 13,737 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,100 per core, 1,050 per thread and 140 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 589. Its performance index is 98, so its overall performance is 2% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X scores 98,508 in integer math, 50,583 in floating-point math, 408,258 in compression, 25,853 in cryptography, 1,195 in physics simulation, 15,370 in vector SIMD, 64 in the prime sieve and 46,133 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 67% above in integer math, 10% above in floating-point math, 79% above in compression, 125% above in cryptography, 10% above in physics simulation, 1% below in vector SIMD, 4% below in the prime sieve and 104% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X has 12 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.30 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X is a desktop processor, belongs to the AMD Threadripper family, uses the Zen+ architecture, carries the codename Colfax and is manufactured on a 12 nm process. It launched in Oct 2018.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X has 1.13 MB of L1 cache, 6 MB of L2 cache and 32 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 39.1 MB of cache, or 3.26 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.1 MB, L2 at 6 MB and L3 at 32 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 82% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X supports DDR4 memory, uses 4 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,933 MT/s and delivers up to 93.9 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 64 PCIe lanes.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X has a rated TDP of 180 W.
