AMD’s new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX has established itself as the new multi-core king of workstation PCs after scoring over 100,000 in Cinebench R23. PC Magazine was able to test the new HEDT part, which won’t be released until November, via remote access to Dell’s upcoming Precision 7875 workstation. This heavy-duty workstation PC features 512 GB ECC memory with 2x RTX 6000 ADA GPUs. Intel presently does not have anything remotely close to the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX in the HEDT sector so comparisons were made to an Intel Xeon w9-3495X and AMD Threadripper Pro 5995WX, which barely looked comparable despite their own impressive results. The reviewers did state that the test machines were not like-for-like so, to be fair, these results should not be considered an apples-to-apples comparison but nonetheless, this is the one Threadripper to rule them all, at least for now.
Per PC Magazine:
“We’re comparing the Precision 7875 with the HP Z8 Fury G5, equipped with a 56-core Xeon w9-3495X, and the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 with the 64-core Threadripper Pro 5995WX. Obviously, neither machine is a purely parallel apples-to-apples comparison, but those are hard to come by when you have a fire-breathing 96-core CPU at your disposal.”
Test System Configurations:
- Dell Precision 7875: AMD Threadripper Pro 7995WX, 2x Nvidia RTX 6000 Ada Generation, 512GB
- HP Z8 Fury G5: Intel Xeon w9-3495X, 4x Nvidia RTX A6000, 128GB
- Lenovo ThinkStation P620: AMD Threadripper Pro 5995WX, Nvidia RTX A6000, 128GB

Clearly, both the 96-core/192-thread AMD Threadripper Pro 7995WX and Dell’s Precision 7875 are built for the most demanding case-use scenarios but even then the average PC user can appreciate what this new processor has to offer, and it is the one Threadripper to rule them all. What makes this processor even more impressive is its faster and more power-efficient than its EPYC counterpart.
Per guru3D:
“This top boost clock is a considerable 38% higher than its EPYC counterpart, even though the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX has a 10W lower TDP at 350W.”
