AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX Linux Performance Benchmarks

With more than 100 benchmarks carried out for this AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX Linux testing, the Threadripper PRO 7995WX consistently delivered great performance.

Across the benchmarks, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX had an average power consumption of 294 Watts compared to the Threadripper 7980X at around 288 Watts. With the exception of two freak momentary spikes reported via the RAPL/PowerCap monitoring where it spiked as high as 399 Watts, the rest of the time the Threadripper PRO 7995WX was consistently running at or below the 350 Watt TDP rating.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX with these HPC, creator, code compilation, and other multi-threaded workloads explored the Threadripper PRO 7995WX delivered around 14% better performance than the stunning Threadripper 7980X performance. In turn the Threadripper PRO 7995WX was running around 46% faster than the Xeon Platinum 8480+ as the fastest Intel Sapphire Rapids part tested for this comparison. The only area where there was competition between the Intel Xeon and Threadripper PRO 7995WX was with TensorFlow where leveraging Sapphire Rapids' AMX capabilities.

The performance of the Threadripper 7970X and 7980X was mind-boggling for single socket workstations and then for the HP Z6 G5 A to arrive days later with the Threadripper PRO 7995WX just went above and beyond to deliver mind-blowing performance for the professional workstation space. As shown by the many benchmarks there is plenty of real-world professional/creator software out there today that can make use of the 96 cores of DDR5 RDIMMs as well as benefiting from AVX-512 and other Zen 4 architectural improvements compared to prior Threadripper processors.

If you can afford it, the Threadripper PRO 7995WX offers unbeatable performance for high-end workstations. The only case that comes to mind is if assembling a very AI-focused workstation where Intel Sapphire Rapids with AMX can be a formidable challenger, but for 3D rendering, computational fluid dynamics like with OpenFOAM, and other tasks the Threadripper PRO 7995WX is hands-down the best workstation processor heading into 2024.

At ~$9999 USD the Threadripper PRO 7995WX is not cheap nor are the Xeon Scalable processors that can also retail north of $10k, but for developers, creators, and professionals where every minute counts, the Threadripper PRO 7995WX can compete as well on value (TCO). More benchmarks of the HP Z6 G5 A and looking more closely at this HP workstation will be coming up in some additional articles on Phoronix over the days ahead; thanks to HP for sending out this Z6 G5 A workstation for testing and forthcoming review.

If the Threadripper PRO 7995WX is out of your budget, check out the Threadripper 7970X and 7980X Linux review published today as well with complementary data and some additional CPU configurations of lower-end processors. The Threadripper 7000 series is very robust and excellent addition for rounding out AMD's Zen 4 portfolio. It's a very exciting time in the CPU space.
