AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X Open Box Gen5 OEM Processor ( 5.1GHz / 64 Cores / 128 Threads )

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X is AMD's flagship enthusiast desktop processor from the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture (codename: Storm Peak). Offered here as an open-box OEM unit, it delivers professional-grade multi-threaded throughput suited for 3D rendering, video production, scientific computing, machine learning inference, and large-scale software compilation workloads that demand extreme core density. At its core, the 7980X packs 64 physical cores with Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) enabled, yielding 128 logical threads. The processor operates at a base clock of 3.2 GHz and boosts up to 5.1 GHz via AMD Precision Boost 2. Its total cache hierarchy comprises 4,096 KB of L1 cache, 64 MB of L2 cache, and 256 MB of L3 cache — a substantial pool that helps keep large datasets close to the compute units and reduces memory latency on cache-resident workloads. Memory support is provided through a quad-channel DDR5 RDIMM configuration running at speeds up to 5,200 MT/s, with ECC enabled by default — a critical feature for workloads where data integrity is non-negotiable. The platform supports AMD EXPO memory overclocking technology for compatible kits. Connectivity is equally expansive: the processor offers 92 total / 88 usable PCIe 5.0 lanes, 4 native USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports, and 2 native SATA ports. NVMe support spans Boot, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 configurations. The compatible platform chipset is TRX50, and the CPU seats in the sTR5 socket. Security and virtualisation capabilities include AMD-V (SVM), AMD-Vi (I/O MMU), AMD AVIC interrupt virtualisation, AMD Secure Processor, AMD Memory Guard, AES-NI hardware acceleration, Firmware TPM, UEFI Secure Boot, Windows Secured-Core PC support, and Virtualization-Based Security (VBS). The processor is unlocked for overclocking and supports Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimizer voltage offsets. Note: This is an OEM open-box unit. No CPU cooler is included. A discrete graphics card is required — no integrated graphics are present. A TRX50-chipset motherboard with an sTR5 socket is mandatory. The seller's warranty on this listing is 1 year.
