AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX Linux Performance Benchmarks
With NASA's NAS Parallel Benchmarks that have proven to scale well and be useful in the HPC space, we see right off the bat the enormous performance potential of the flagship Threadripper PRO 7995WX.
The Threadripper PRO 7995WX 96-core processor was not only a large leap over the 64-core Threadripper 7980X but also the Xeon Platinum 8480+ and Xeon Max 9480 also operating with eight DDR5 memory channels.
The Threadripper 7970X and 7980X are very impressive HEDT parts, but if your budget allows, the Threadripper PRO 7995WX kicks things up to a whole additional level.
Impressive is that the Threadripper PRO 7995WX was still staying within the 350 Watt TDP rating of these new Threadripper Zen 4 processors and in turn was still able to provide leading performance-per-Watt as well.
The Threadripper PRO 7995WX can deliver the best possible workstation performance now possible out of a single CPU socket.
If doing a lot of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) work such as with the wonderful OpenFOAM, the Threadripper PRO 7995WX within the HP Z6 G5 A was delivering terrific performance.
While the Xeon Scalable Sapphire Rapids processors with 8 channels of memory could outperform the Threadripper 7980X, now with the Threadripper PRO 7995WX with 8 channels of memory too it easily outpaced Intel's flagship Xeon Max 9480 operating in HBM2e+DDR5 caching mode.
The CPU power consumption of the Threadripper PRO 7995WX was comparable to the average power draw of the Xeon Platinum 8480+ and Xeon Max 9480 while running OpenFOAM but with around a 20 Watt lower peak power consumption.
