AMD® Ryzen™ Threadripper 7980X

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X is a desktop processor with 64 cores and 128 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture (5nm process). It launched in 2023. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 5.1 GHz boost. A 256-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.1 MB per core). Maximum addressable memory is 1024 GB. The chip drops into the sTR5 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 7980X scores 135,642 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 189,899 for engineering performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,119 per core, 1,060 per thread and 388 per watt. 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 7980X scores 797,334 in integer math, 480,551 in floating-point math, 2,742,603 in compression, 166,783 in cryptography, 8,070 in physics simulation, 200,031 in vector SIMD, 1,004 in the prime sieve and 319,156 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 1,254% above in integer math, 947% above in floating-point math, 1,103% above in compression, 1,352% above in cryptography, 640% above in physics simulation, 1,190% above in vector SIMD, 1,399% above in the prime sieve and 1,309% 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 7980X has 64 physical cores and runs 128 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.20 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz. Its clock multiplier is unlocked for overclocking.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X 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 5nm process. It launched in 2023.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X has 4 MB of L1 cache, 64 MB of L2 cache and 256 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 324.0 MB of cache, or 5.06 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 4 MB, L2 at 64 MB and L3 at 256 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 79% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X addresses up to 1,024 GB of memory and runs memory at up to 5,200 MT/s.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.
