AMD Threadripper PRO 9995WX Destroys Multi-Core Benchmarks With 173K+ Score

AMD’s latest Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX has set a new standard in workstation CPU performance, absolutely crushing Cinebench R23’s multi-threaded test with a staggering 173,452 points. That’s nearly a 60% leap over its predecessor, the Threadripper PRO 7995WX, which typically lands between 100,000 to 110,000 points.

The benchmark results, shared by Chiphell’s editor Napoleon, showcase the true might of AMD’s Zen 5 architecture when unleashed with full PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) enabled. While power consumption spiked to 840W, the performance uplift easily justifies the thermal push in high-end workstation scenarios.

Even the more modest Threadripper PRO 9965WX, a 24-core/48-thread processor, posted a healthy 60,336 points in Cinebench R23. That’s a respectable 22% improvement over its Zen 4 predecessor (7965WX) and puts it shoulder to shoulder with the 32-core 7975WX in multi-core tests – likely still on default settings.

With equal core counts (96 cores, 192 threads), the 9995WX’s edge over the 7995WX lies in improved IPC, architecture efficiency, and higher clocks. While Cinebench scores are heavily influenced by frequency and cooling, it’s worth noting the 7995WX can break 200K with exotic nitrogen setups. Still, even on air or liquid, the 9995WX should sit firmly at the top of the charts once it launches officially on July 23.

Here’s how some of the current top CPUs compare in Cinebench R23 multi-core tests:

• Threadripper PRO 9995WX (Zen 5, 96-core, PBO): 173,452
• Threadripper PRO 7995WX (Zen 4, 96-core): ~109,811
• Xeon W9-3595X (60-core): 119,571
• Threadripper PRO 9965WX (Zen 5, 24-core): 60,336

The new Zen 5 lineup offers a significant generational uplift, especially for professionals in 3D rendering, simulations, and content creation who can leverage such massive core counts.

But not everyone is thrilled – with the flagship priced at $11,699 and even the entry-level model at $2,899, many enthusiasts are left watching from the sidelines. The days of AMD’s “value performance” Threadrippers in brick-style boxes might be long gone, but their performance crown seems secure – for now.
