AMD will sell its Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors to consumers. The CPUs with up to 64 cores were released last year, but were only available to system builders.

AMD announced its Threadripper PRO CPUs in July last year, but so far they have not been available separately. Only system builders could buy the processors and equip complete systems with them. To use the Threadripper PRO processors, different motherboards are required than for the regular variants. Earlier today we showed an ASUS WRX80 motherboard, in which the PRO variants fit.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO Processors will now be directly available to consumers through participating global retailers, e-tailers, and system integrators with on-shelf availability expected in March 2021. Ryzen Threadripper PRO Processors offer an unmatched feature set to workstation customers with up to 64 cores, 8 channels of memory, RDIMM and LRDIMM support, 128 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and AMD PRO security technologies.
