Shipping Manifests Reveal AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 “Shimada Peak” 64-Core and 32-Core Models

Exciting developments in high-performance computing are on the horizon with the emergence of AMD’s next-generation “Shimada Peak”Threadripper processors. Shipping manifests have revealed a diverse lineup featuring models with 96, 64, 32, and 16 cores, setting the stage for AMD to dominate the high-end desktop (HEDT) segment.

Unveiling AMD’s Threadripper 9000 Series: A Core Powerhouse

For those unfamiliar with the latest in AMD’s innovations, the Threadripper 9000 series, based on the cutting-edge Zen 5 architecture, is poised to succeed the Threadripper 7000 (Zen 4) lineup. Despite the silence from AMD regarding this launch, several leaks have hinted at significant advancements. According to recently disclosed shipping manifests (via Olrak_29), the upcoming processors are set to make a substantial impact in the workstation market.

Earlier leaks indicated that the Threadripper 9000 would come in both 96-core and 16-core variations. However, the latest shipping documents suggest additional options, including 64-core and 32-core configurations. The flagship model is anticipated to feature 96 cores and 192 threads, built on the Zen 5 architecture, which comprises 12 CCDs (Core Complex Dies), each housing eight cores, along with 32 MB of L3 cache and a singular I/O die.

Technical Specifications and Expected Features

While detailed specs for the newly announced variants remain undisclosed, it is likely that the 32-core variant will integrate four CCDs, while the 64-core model will be equipped with eight CCDs. Each CCD, characterized by its 8-core design, offers robust computing performance. Furthermore, all configurations within the Shimada Peak lineup are expected to deliver a thermal design power (TDP) of 350W, maintaining similar specifications to their Zen 4 predecessors, with the main differences found in the architecture and manufacturing process.

Moreover, AMD plans to release “PRO”variants of the Threadripper 9000 series, aimed at pre-built workstation systems from partners like HP, Lenovo, Dell, and Supermicro. Although no official launch date has been confirmed yet, speculation suggests that these processors could hit the market in 2025, either in the forthcoming quarter or shortly thereafter. The Shimada Peak lineup’s anticipated capabilities could reshape competition in the HEDT space, making it a highly awaited debut.
