AMD Teases Upcoming Launch of Ryzen Threadripper PRO TR6 Processor Based on Zen6 Featuring PCIe6 Support

[Peter_Brosdahl]

AMD has revealed that it is prepping the release of a new Ryzen Threadripper PRO processor based on Zen6 2nm cores. This Threadripper “Mustang Peak” part has yet to have any SKUs assigned and is listed both as a TR6 desktop processor and also as a part of the Threadripper PRO CPU 1Ah family, Model […]

Ok this sounds neat. Workstation play time ahead for some!!

2nm for desktop zen 6 cpu
3nm for mobile zen 6 apu

It's coming back with Nova Lake 48 (+4 tiny) cores.

that is 48 threads for application. will still lose to 48 threads of zen 6 top end CPUs

maybe a win on idle power consumption for Intel — if that is one of your key metrics...

I'm not that sure. That's 48 real cores vs. 24 real cores. SMT will add +50% at most so maybe 36 real cores in best case scenarios. Add another +10% for the frequency advantage assuming IPC is similar and Zen 6 halo part manages 6.5 GHz. That is still 48 real cores vs. 40 real cores in the best of situations. Outside of gaming, the X3D part may add maybe 20% more performance in cache sensitive applications. Overall, Zen 6 will probably win only on power consumption overall because Nova 52 core is headed to eating in excess of 500W (with overclocking). In gaming, obviously nothing from Intel or Nvidia will touch a 6.5 GHz X3D part.
