AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X 24-core sTR5
The 24-core, 48-thread design on TSMC’s 4nm process hits a 5.4GHz boost with a massive 128MB L3 cache, delivering a 92,577 PassMark multi-core score for heavy rendering workloads. Its quad-channel DDR5 support with ECC and 48 PCIe 5.0 lanes provides workstation-class expandability without stepping up to the Pro series. This processor is best for 3D artists and architects running multi-threaded simulations who need high core counts but don’t require integrated graphics.
