AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX - 16 Cores - 4 GHz - sWRX8 - Processor

AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX arrives as a high-end workstation processor, delivering cutting-edge performance for professional desktop use.

Part of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series, the 5955WX is a 16-core, 32-thread CPU built on a 7 nm process and designed for demanding multi-threaded workloads. Its base frequency of 4 GHz and boost up to 4.5 GHz provide strong single- and multi-threaded responsiveness for complex tasks.

The processor uses the Socket sWRX8 and supports octa-channel DDR4 memory, making it ideal for memory-heavy applications like large-scale data analysis, simulation, and content creation. With a substantial 64 MB L3 cache, it keeps large working datasets close to the cores to reduce latency.

With a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 280 W and a tray package type, the 5955WX is intended for workstation builds where robust cooling and power delivery are provided; note that no cooler is included. PCI Express 4.0 support ensures ample bandwidth for high-speed storage and expansion cards, though the chip does not include on-board graphics.

Targeted at professional desktop markets, the Threadripper PRO 5955WX excels in rendering, scientific computing, virtualization, and complex engineering workflows that require many cores and high memory throughput. Its support for eight memory channels and large cache makes it particularly suited to tasks with heavy parallelism.

When configuring a system around the 5955WX, pair it with enterprise-grade cooling, a compatible sWRX8 motherboard, and ECC-capable DDR4 modules if data integrity is required. Its tray packaging suits system integrators and custom workstation builders seeking maximum flexibility.

Key benefits include a robust 16-core/32-thread design, high base and boost clocks (4.0–4.5 GHz), 64 MB L3 cache, octa-channel DDR4 support, and PCIe 4.0 connectivity for modern expansion needs.

• 16 cores / 32 threads for heavy multitasking
• 4.0 GHz base, up to 4.5 GHz boost
• Octa-channel DDR4 and 64 MB L3 cache
• Socket sWRX8 for workstation motherboards
• PCIe 4.0 support, TDP 280 W
