The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX CPU has officially shattered the previous record in Cinebench R23, setting a new milestone in multi-threaded performance.
Overclocked to an incredible 5.8 GHz across all 96 Zen 5 cores, this powerhouse of a chip has claimed a staggering 222,766 points, surpassing its predecessor, the Threadripper 7995WX, which had a record score of 210,702 with a higher overclock of 6.25 GHz.
This achievement was made possible with liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling and a hefty 1000W power supply, pushing the limits of what even the best overclockers can achieve. US-based overclocker Seby, in collaboration with ASUS’s PRO WS WRX90e-SAGE SE motherboard, managed to grab the top spots in several benchmarks, demonstrating the 9995WX’s raw power. This is a substantial 6% improvement over the previous generation’s highest score, proving that the Zen 5 architecture has more to offer.
The Threadripper 9995WX’s impressive performance also extends beyond Cinebench R23. The CPU achieved 760,318 points in the Geekbench 3 multi-core test, 364.087 FPS in the x265 4K benchmark, and 1,449,407 MIPS in 7-ZIP. These benchmarks highlight the 9995WX’s capabilities across a wide variety of demanding tasks, making it a top contender for enthusiasts and professionals who need the highest performance available in computing today.
While the Threadripper 9000 series marks an impressive leap in performance, the 9995WX is not alone in its family. AMD offers several other models, each catering to different needs and budgets. With prices starting at $1,649 for the 9955WX and scaling up to the 9995WX’s $11,699, these chips are set to dominate the high-performance computing market. The launch of these chips, along with the Radeon AI PRO R9700, is expected to keep AMD at the forefront of the workstation and enthusiast markets for the foreseeable future.
