AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX (16C/32T, 72 MB Cache, up to 4.3 GHz Max Boost)

Product Information

Since the launch of AMD’s Threadripper Pro platform, the desire to see what eight channels of memory brings to compute over the regular quad-channel Threadripper has been an intriguing prospect. Threadripper Pro is effectively a faster version of AMD’s EPYC, limited for single CPU workstation use, but also heralds a full 280 W TDP to match the frequencies of the standard Threadripper line. There is a 37% price premium from Threadripper to Threadripper Pro, which allows for ECC memory support, double the PCIe lanes, and double the memory bandwidth. In this review, we’re comparing every member of both platforms that is commercially available. Threadripper Pro: Born of Need Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors are purpose-built to support all types of workstation users and the mission-critical software applications they rely on each day. Which one is for you? Let's take a look: Mikewind Dale - Wednesday, July 14, 2021 - link I have a ThreadRipper Pro 3955WX, and I discovered something interesting about the memory bandwidth. There are many Threadripper users that simply want more memory capacity and full ecosystem support (which is different from “it works”) on a platform. The challenge at the lower-end 16-core part range is that 256GB on a standard Threadripper system using 4-channel 2DPC 32GB UDIMMs is a lot of memory at 16GB/ core. The memory capacity and bandwidth advantage are more seen at the higher core count Threadripper Pro parts. If you simply need ECC RDIMM support though, then the 3955WX makes sense.

As we tested the Threadripper Pro 3955WX, we think we understand where this fits into the higher-end framework. This chip is designed as more of a mainstream entry point to the higher-end platform. At the same time, AMD is balancing not upsetting the higher-dollar per-core EPYC sales. Given that this is effectively an EPYC processor for workstations, indeed our ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI and even the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 both feel a lot like server platforms when in use, we can understand the positioning. Software & Science: The Threadripper PRO 3995WX processor can significantly reduce compile times for complex software builds by spreading the work over multiple threads and cores. 5 The same parallel processing approach can speed the training of deep neural networks, while support for up to 2 TB of memory aids in calculations involving extensive data sets. So what is it about Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors that make them so popular? Why have they captured the attention of digital artists, architects, video editors and other professionals whose PC workstations are vital to their work? Let's take a deeper look. Ryzen Threadripper PRO processor performance features

The processor can use up to 2048 GB memory in 8 (Octa Channel) memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s. The memory type as well as the amount of memory can greatly affect the speed of the system. If you want to take your desktop and workstation to the next level of professionalism, Threadripper 3955wx pro should be your choice. With a large bandwidth, it significantly reduces the rendering time of many 8k videos, edits, high-resolution photos, and different 3d models. AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955wx Specs Specification If we are being forthright, this is not our favorite Threadripper Pro part, and perhaps that is the point. The Threadripper Pro 3975WX and 3995WX provide significantly more performance that is likely better balanced with the platform capabilities. At the same time, those are significantly more expensive parts and not practical for every application. AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX Based on AMD Labs testing as of January 31, 2022 using the Ansys CFX benchmark to compare the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995X reference system configured with 8x32GB DDR4, NVIDIA Quadro RTX A5000, 1TB SSD, Win 11 vs. a similarly configured BOXX APEXX4 workstation with an Intel® Xeon® W-3375. Results may vary. CGP-26 AMD hit the market with four distinct versions of AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO processors with varying core and thread counts to serve a variety of businesses and users. To ensure support for everyone, Lenovo launched multiple models of the ThinkStation P620 Tower Workstation, each sporting a different Threadripper PRO CPU.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the processor is 280 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently. The TDP usually gives a rough idea of the actual power consumption of the CPU. The Intel Xeon W-2295 is perhaps the closest competitor with 18 cores. At the same time, it has less memory capacity and is still a PCIe Gen3 part with fewer lanes. In some tests, the extra cores and single die design flourishes, but the majority of our readers will prefer the larger AMD platform in this workstation segment. Of course, this is effectively comparing the highest-end part from that Intel series versus the low-end part from the AMD series.Multimedia: Animators, artists and editors who generate multiple project iterations each day will love the speedy way the AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper PRO 3995WX processor handles complex rendering and VFX workloads. Accelerate post-production encoding and transcoding 4 even at high resolutions. Many of these features can be added to an EPYC platform, but it is usually better to have the chipset to put lower-value I/O onto while keeping the main PCIe lanes free. We did an AMD EPYC 7002 Rome v Threadripper for workstations and some of that gap closes with the Threadripper Pro, but some are still very valid. ASUS Pro WS WRX80E SAGE SE WiFi PCIe Slots Like many other Ryzen Threadripper, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper pro 3955wx 16-core desktop processor also supports 4.0 PCI express lanes. These express lanes not only boost up the speed of work of this CPU processor but also keep the work safe. The express lanes help a lot of professionals and different desktops and workstations. Our testing focuses on the one Ryzen Threadripper Pro processor we've managed to get our mitts on so far, the 3955WX, a 16-core/32-thread chip that is a sensible choice for any kind of demanding workflow. Our test platform is the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 with Windows 10 Pro, 32GB of DDR4-3200 ECC memory, a 512GB PCI Express 3.0 SSD boot drive, and a 5GB Nvidia Quadro P2200 graphics card. The ECC support is a crucial distinction in the workstation world. ECC is essential technology for fields, such as science, architectural design, and finance, in which unimpeachable accuracy and every decimal place matters. Non-Pro Ryzen Threadripper chips, in contrast, support ECC memory only in conjunction with certain motherboards.
