A AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7985WX processor with 64 cores and a quad-channel DDR5 interface, has been recently identified in Puget's benchmark database, sparking discussions among technology enthusiasts.

The information was revealed by the Twitter handle @Benchleaks, though specific clock speeds for the processor have not been unveiled to the public yet. The motherboard employed for the tests, known as AMD BoulderGulch-STP, was also identified, but additional specifics about it are still limited. The incorporation of DDR5 memory in this model signifies a substantial shift from the prior Threadripper models. Notably, there are eight DDR5 modules connected to this processor.

Benchmark results to date exhibit significant variations, and in the absence of detailed technical specifications, a comprehensive evaluation of the processor's performance remains complex. It's plausible that AMD continues to refine the processor for enhanced performance. Speculation is also rife about the potential launch of faster models in the future, given the possibility of higher-core variants. For instance, the forthcoming Threadripper Pro 7995WX, which is expected to become the flagship model, may potentially support up to 96 cores.
