- Ryzen Threadripper 9980x offers unparalleled energy for multiple core workflows
- Passmark scores show the 64 AMD centers chip that leads the desktop market
- Expensive but effective, threadripper 9980x establishes a new bar in performance
The new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series of AMD finally went on sale, with the flagship Threadripper 9980x available to buy Tech-America for about $ 5,198 decidedly Premium.
That is expensive, but for professionals who need a first -class first level performance, the first reference points show that the new chip offers value where it matters: the proverbial explosion for their money, if you wish.
Built in AMD Zen 5 architecture, 9980X has 64 cores with 128 wires. It is not only the central count that distinguishes the new chip from the competition, but how it works under a heavy load.
Heading the graphics
The new chip is able to handle demanding tasks such as 3D representation, simulation and video production with impressive ease thanks to a 3.2GHz base watch and an impulse speed of up to 5.4 GHz.
In fact, Passmark’s reference points (see below) suggest that it offers a level of performance that exceeds even the chips of work degree with more nuclei.
In the multiple subprocess CPU test of Passmark, 9980x obtained 147,481, placing it at the top of the desktop performance table.
That is higher than the Threadripper Pro 7995WX of 96 cores, which registered 145,572 points.
Despite having less cores, 9980x moves forward, probably due to its higher base watch and superior efficiency through work loads that climb with the clock speed.
Single thread results
In single thread tests, the image is a bit different. The 9980x obtains 4,594, which places it behind more consumer oriented chips such as the M3 Ultra of Apple and the Core Ultra 9 285k of Intel. Of course, that is not unexpected, since Threadripper 9980x is designed for multiprocess applications instead of the use of everyday desk.
Compared to the previous generation threadripper 7980x, 9980x shows a gain of approximately 8 percent in performance. While that may not sound huge, it is enough to comfortably lead the current graphics.
The chip also includes 64 MB of L2 and 256 MB of L3 cache, which gives it a lot of memory in the expert to keep things running quickly.
Complete reviews are expected soon, but the first results suggest that the THREADRIPPER 9980X of AMD is a serious update for high -end users with deep pockets.
