The new Threadripper 9000 series of processors, codenamed Shimada Peak, will offer up to 96 Zen 5 cores and a TDP of 350W. We do not yet know the details of the performance or clock frequencies.
The new Threadripper 9000 processor series, codenamed Shimada Peak, has been leaked thanks to shipping declaration data. The new processors will have up to 96 Zen 5 cores and a TDP of 350W, which is the same as the previous generation. Even the lowest 16-core model will have a TDP of 350W, which is unusual for so few cores, but the same was true for the Threadripper 7000 series.
A TDP reduction would probably be possible, as most Ryzen 9000 series processors have a lower TDP than their predecessors. However, the Threadripper 9000 prioritizes performance over efficiency, which is common for the segment Threadripper is targeting.
The already mentioned 16-core model is unlikely to be part of the Threadripper 9000 entry-level series, as the 7000 series started with up to 24 cores. This model will almost certainly be a PRO variant of the models, similar to previous generations.
The clock speeds of the Threadripper 9000 processors are not yet known, but due to the higher frequencies of the Zen 5-based EPYC 5th generation processors, an increase can be expected. The 7000 series on the Zen 4 core reaches a clock speed of “only” 5.3 GHz and the Ryzen 9 9950X on the Zen 5 up to 5.7 GHz. The absence of a model with more than 96 cores suggests that there won’t be a Zen 5-based Threadripper 9000 chip aimed mainly at cloud servers.
