AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX Workstation 5th Generation Processor ( 4.5 Ghz / 24 Cores / 48 Threads )

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX is a professional-grade workstation processor built on AMD’s Zen 3 core architecture and manufactured using TSMC’s 7nm FinFET process. Designed exclusively for the sWRX8 platform, it delivers 24 physical CPU cores and 48 threads, enabling demanding multi-threaded workloads across content creation, engineering simulation, 3D rendering, and virtual production pipelines. The processor operates at a base clock of 3.8GHz and boosts up to 4.5GHz, providing strong single-threaded responsiveness alongside its high core count. A total of 128MB of L3 cache—paired with 12MB of L2 and 1.5MB of L1 cache—gives the 5965WX substantial data locality advantages for compute-intensive professional applications. Memory subsystem breadth is a defining strength of the Threadripper PRO platform. The 5965WX supports eight channels of DDR4 memory at speeds up to 3200MHz, enabling extremely high aggregate memory bandwidth for workloads that would saturate the memory bus on consumer-grade platforms. This eight-channel configuration is uniquely suited to tasks such as large-dataset simulations, high-resolution video editing, and scientific computing. Connectivity is handled via PCIe 4.0, providing fast communication with discrete GPUs and NVMe storage arrays. The processor does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required. Overclocking is supported, as the chip ships unlocked. AMD PRO Technologies are fully enabled on this SKU, including AMD Memory Guard for real-time full memory encryption and AMD Shadow Stack for hardware-level control-flow attack mitigation—features aimed at enterprise and professional security requirements. The processor is not intended for consumer use. OS support covers Windows 11 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit editions. The default thermal design power (TDP) is 280W, and the maximum operating temperature (Tjmax) is 95°C. The boxed part number is 100-100000446WOF; the tray part number is 100-000000446. AMD covers this processor with a 3-year warranty.
