AMD's new series of high-end Threadripper processors could see a new entry in August according to recent rumors. According to the MoePC website, the Threadripper 5000 series, codenamed "Chagall" by AMD, is coming soon.

 

But do not get too excited because they warn that the updates can be a bit disappointing compared to previous AMD Threadripper models. Even so, it must be clear that everything we comment on in this news comes from rumors and could be denied in the future.

 

New AMD Threadripper is coming

While the Threadripper 5000 processors are rumored to be based on the same Zen 3 architecture as AMD's latest Ryzen 5000 CPUs (or even an improved Zen 3+ architecture), it appears that there will be no major changes when it comes to the number of cores. in offer. The flagship model will offer 64 cores, along with rumors of a potential 16-core CPU also alongside possible 24-core and 32-core variants.

 

AMD Threadripper 5000 processors are rumored to continue to support DDR4 memory, and the TDP (Thermal Design Power) will remain the same at 280W. They are also rumored to support existing TRX40 motherboards, meaning it will be one less component to upgrade if you want those new chips.

 

Aside from the switch to the Zen 3 architecture, which will bring performance increases over third-generation Threadrippers, the new AMD Threadrippers 'Chagall' CPUs will have a higher Inter-Chip Global Memory Interconnect (xGMI) speed of 16 GT / s. 18 GT / s. these speeds put them on a par with AMD's EPYC 7003 series server chips.

 

If these rumors are true, the new AMD Threadrippers may not be a big change due to the lack of support for DDR5 support. We would continue to notice some performance improvements, as long as these rumors are correct.
