Overview
SummaryThe AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5945WX is a workstation processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture (7 nm process). It launched in Mar 2022. Clocks run from 4.1 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 64-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.9 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. The chip drops into the sWRX8 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 280 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5945WX scores 3,349 in single-core performance and 40,197 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,603 for overall performance, 30,817 for productivity performance, 28,137 for creator performance, 43,714 for engineering performance and 20,096 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,350 per core, 1,675 per thread and 144 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 693. Its performance index is 144, so its overall performance is 44% 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.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores 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 PRO 5945WX scores 139,287 in integer math, 78,947 in floating-point math, 516,622 in compression, 31,953 in cryptography, 2,505 in physics simulation, 35,071 in vector SIMD, 275 in the prime sieve and 53,343 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 137% above in integer math, 72% above in floating-point math, 127% above in compression, 178% above in cryptography, 130% above in physics simulation, 126% above in vector SIMD, 310% above in the prime sieve and 135% 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.
