The AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 would arrive on March 8, 16 months after the Ryzen 5000

A new report from Videocardz reports that, according to its sources, the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 would hit the market only on March 8, 2022, 16 months after the launch of the conventional Ryzen 5000. This is a much bigger delay than the three or four months that we have been seeing in previous generations, and it is still not very clear what the reason behind it is.

One of the theories is that these Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 could be based on Zen3D at 6nm and that is why AMD waited for their launch, although it is not clear since some sources indicate that the Zen3D products would arrive under the name Ryzen 6000 and these new Threadripper they will continue to be part of the Zen 3-based 5000 line. There are also sources that indicate that the Zen3D products for AM4 will arrive under the Ryzen 5000S line and that the Ryzen 6000 line will be reserved for the AM5, so these new Threadripper could enter the Ryzen 5000 family still being based on Zen3D if this latest rumor is true.

There will be 5 different models

The Videocardz source also told the site that the following 5 models are already confirmed, although AMD is finishing defining their exact frequencies so this information cannot be confirmed yet. The names and number of cores are below:

• Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX: 64 cores and 128 threads
• Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX: 32 cores and 64 threads
• Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5965WX: 24 cores and 48 threads
• Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5955WX: 16 cores and 32 threads
• Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5945WX: 12 cores and 24 threads

All of these models are expected to have a maximum TDP of 280W, and to be compatible with the WRX80 motherboards released for the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3000. It is unclear if we will see new CPUs for the TRX40 motherboards, or if they will only support one generation. processors, which would be bad news for those who bet on this platform.

What do you think about this long delay in the launch of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000? Do you think it is justified if they arrive based on Zen3D?
