AMD® Ryzen™ Threadripper 7960X

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X is a desktop processor with 24 cores and 48 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture (TSMC 5nm FinFET process). It launched in Oct 2023. Clocks run from 4.2 GHz base to 5.3 GHz boost. A 128-MB L3 cache backs the cores (6.4 MB per core). The chip drops into the TR5 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (4 lanes). Rated TDP is 350 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X scores 4,124 in single-core performance and 83,430 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 18,549 for overall performance, 60,003 for productivity performance, 53,310 for creator performance, 106,373 for engineering performance and 33,230 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,476 per core, 1,738 per thread and 238 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 992. Its performance index is 230, so its overall performance is 130% above 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 7960X scores 307,113 in integer math, 190,739 in floating-point math, 1,203,421 in compression, 69,954 in cryptography, 6,098 in physics simulation, 92,035 in vector SIMD, 732 in the prime sieve and 141,047 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 421% above in integer math, 316% above in floating-point math, 428% above in compression, 509% above in cryptography, 459% above in physics simulation, 493% above in vector SIMD, 993% above in the prime sieve and 523% 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 7960X has 24 physical cores and runs 48 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 4.20 GHz and boosts up to 5.30 GHz. Its clock multiplier is unlocked for overclocking.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X is a desktop processor, belongs to the AMD Threadripper family, uses the Zen 4 architecture, carries the codename Storm Peak and is manufactured on a TSMC 5nm FinFET process. It launched in Oct 2023.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X has 1.50 MB of L1 cache, 24 MB of L2 cache and 128 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 153.5 MB of cache, or 6.40 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.5 MB, L2 at 24 MB and L3 at 128 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X runs memory at up to 5,200 MT/s.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X uses the TR5 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 4 PCIe lanes.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X has a rated TDP of 350 W.
