AMD today announced the launch of Ryzen Treadripper PRO 3000 Series Workstation Processors. Previously, these chips could only be purchased as part of ready-made workstations, but now they will be sold in retail stores as a standalone product.

Ryzen Treadripper PRO is the best processor for professional use by the manufacturer. In total, three models will go on sale: the 64-core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX, the 32-core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX and the 16-core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX. Note that the youngest representative of the series, the 12-core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3945WX, will not be available in retail.

All of these processors are designed for the sWRX8 platform, which is distinguished by support for eight-channel DDR4 memory (both regular UDIMM modules, as well as RDIMMs and LRDIMMs) and 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, respectively, instead of four memory channels and 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes in the usual Ryzen Threadripper. Thus, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO are essentially the desktop version of the EPYC Rome server processors.

AMD recommends $ 64 for the flagship 128-core and 3995-thread Threadripper Pro 5489WX, $ 32 for the 64-core and 3975-thread Threadripper Pro 2749WX, and $ 16 for the 32-core and 3955-thread Threadripper Pro 1149WX. We managed to find new items only in European retail at a price of 5499, 2699 and 1249 euros, respectively.
