- Ryzen Threadripper 9980X delivers unmatched power to multi-core workflows
- Passmark scores showing AMDS 64-CORE CHIP that leads the desktop market
- Expensive but effective, threadripper 9980x puts a new bar in the performance
AMD’s new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series has finally gone on sale, with the flagship wire dripper 9980x available to buy now from Tech-American for a particular premium $ 5,198.
It is expensive for sure, but for professionals who need top-tier multi-core performance, early benchmarks show that the new chip delivers value where it means something-the saying bang for your buck if you want.
Built on AMDS ZEN 5 architecture has 9980x 64 cores with 128 threads. It is not only the core number that separates the new chip from competition, but how it works under heavy load.
Topping of the charts
The new chip is able to handle demanding tasks such as 3D reproduction, simulation and video production with impressive ease thanks to a basic watch of 3.2 GHz and a boost speed of up to 5.4 GHz.
In fact, Passmark’s Benchmarks (see below) suggests that it delivers a level of performance that surpasses even workstation chips with multiple cores.
In Passmark’s Multi-Thread CPU test, 9980X scored 147,481 and placed it at the top of the Desktop performance card.
It’s higher than the 96-core Threadripper Pro 7995WX that placed 145,572 points.
Despite having fewer kernels, 9980x comes out in front, probably due to its higher basic watch and superior efficiency across work loads scaled at ureters.
Single threaded results
In single wire test, the picture is a little different. 9980X scores 4,594, which puts it behind more consumer -oriented chips like Apple’s M3 Ultra and Intel’s core Ultra 9 285K. Of course, this is not unexpected as the Threadripper 9980X is designed for multi-threaded applications rather than everyday desktop use.
Compared to the previous gene thread dripper 7980X, 9980x shows approx. 8 percent gain in the benefit. While it may not sound huge, it is enough for comfortable to carry the current charts.
The chip also includes 64 MB L2 and 256 MB L3 cache, giving it plenty of memory to keep things going fast.
Full reviews are expected soon, but the early results suggest that AMDS Thadripper 9980X is a serious upgrade for advanced users with deep pockets.
