AMD takes aim at Intel with new 96-core Threadripper 9000 series CPU
AMD has announced its latest Zen 5-based Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series of CPUs at Computex today. The 9000 Series and 9000 WX-Series are built for the demanding workstation market, and the top Threadripper Pro 9995WX will ship with 96 cores and 192 threads.
This flagship Threadripper chip is designed for professionals who are working on visual effects, simulations, and AI model development. The Threadripper Pro 9995WX also has up to 384MB of L3 cache and 128 lanes of PCIe Gen 5, making it ideal to pair with multiple GPUs.
AMD claims that the Threadripper Pro 9995WX is 2.2x faster than Intel's 60-core Xeon W9-3595X processor in Cinebench 2024 multi-threaded rendering.
If you don't need a 96-core CPU, AMD's Threadripper 9000 Series are also targeted at enthusiasts and creators who want workstation-like performance. The Ryzen Threadripper 9980X has 64 cores and 128 threads, a base frequency of 3.2GHz, and 320MB of L3 cache.
All of these new Threadripper chips, pro or not, will run at a thermal design power (TDP) of 350 watts and will work (after a BIOS update) on existing motherboards that support the sTR5 socket.
Both Threadripper 9000 Series and the Pro WX-Series processors will be available from retailers in July, but AMD isn't announcing pricing just yet. Given the its high-end 7980X Threadripper CPU retailed at $4,999 in 2023, it's fair to say these next-gen equivalents will be around that price.

Intel Confirms 12 P-Core Bartlett Lake S CPU In Nova Lake Slide
Intel has given the first confirmation of the long-rumored Bartlett Lake CPU with 12 performance cores and no E cores. The surprise reveal comes in a slide about Intel's Time Coordinated Computing platform, which pushes high-performance edge computing. The document is designed to show how Intel's CPUs can manage real-time and general-purpose workloads simultaneously, showing current and future-generation CPUs that can do this. One of them is a 12-core Bartlett Lake design. Intel's desktop platforms have been rather uninspiring for the past few generations. The 14th Generation was barely a clock-speed increase over its predecessor, and saw very little movement between generations, especially with the flagship. The Arrow Lake generation that followed improved performance per watt and productivity workloads, but did little for gaming. Bartlett Lake is slotting somewhere in the middle, supporting the older socket design, but with a performance focus. Long-rumored as more of a competitor for AMD's gaming-focused X3D CPUs, the 12-core Bartlett Lake CPU is unique among Intel's existing designs since it has just one CPU core architecture onboard. It uses just performance cores, whereas all other Intel CPUs from the past few generations have offered either a small quantity of solo P cores, or a mixture of performance and efficiency (and sometimes low-power efficiency) cores. Credit: Intel The lack of any E cores will absolutely tank this chip's multithreading performance. But Intel's performance cores have long been impressively powerful, just hampered by their limited number and high power draw compared with AMD's alternatives. A 12-core Bartlett Lake CPU could end up being Intel's gaming performance king for a short time ahead of an Arrow Lake refresh later this year, or provide an alternative to older CPU generations like AMD's still-supported Ryzen 5000 series. No more details about the chip exist at this time, with this slide reveal being the first to even confirm its existence. It debuts on this slide alongside more established upcoming CPU generations, like Panther Lake and Nova Lake, with both performance S and efficient, U versions of the chips. Intel also gave the first lip-service to a generation of low-power chips called Wildcat Lake, which VideoCardz suggests as a probable successor for Twin Lake. Don't want to wait for Bartlett Lake or any other CPU launches? Here are the best CPU deals available right now.
