Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX specifications and capabilities.
Processing Power
The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX is a 64-core / 128-thread processor based on the Chagall PRO (2022) architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4.5 GHz from a base frequency of 2.7 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. With a massive 256 MB L3 cache (3D V-Cache technology), this processor has a significant gaming advantage — the large cache drastically reduces memory latency in game engines., plus 512K (per core) of L2 cache and 64K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 94,737, placing it in the Enthusiast performance tier as a Aging generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,500, while multi-core reaches 20,000. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 66,403.
