The Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7985WX, fabricated on a 5nm process, continues the tradition of a 64-core, 128-thread configuration established by its predecessor, the 7nm Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX. However, architectural improvements translate into higher clock speeds of 3.2 GHz base and 5.1 GHz boost, marking substantial gains of 18.5% and 13.3% respectively when juxtaposed with the Pro 5995WX. Furthermore, the Pro 7985WX, featuring the Zen 4 architecture, doubles its L2 cache while maintaining its L3 cache at 256MB. A noticeable increase in the TDP, reaching 350W for the Pro 7985WX, represents a 25% uptick from the Pro 5995WX's 280W. Significant enhancements also encompass support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5-5200, a notable advancement over the Pro 5995WX, which was limited to PCIe 4.0 and DDR4-3200 memory.
