AMD claims Ryzen Threadripper 9000 is up to 145% faster than Intel Xeon

[DragonSlayer101]

The big picture: AMD announced its Ryzen Threadripper 9000-series "Shimada Peak" processors at Computex but didn't provide any benchmarks to compare them against Intel's latest Xeon CPUs. This week, the company finally released official benchmarks for the new chips, claiming they are up to 145 percent faster than their Intel counterparts.

According to AMD, the Threadripper 9980X HEDT processor is up to 108 percent faster than the Xeon W9-3595X in Corona Render, up to 41 percent faster in Autodesk Revit, and up to 68 percent faster in MATLAB. It also reportedly delivers up to a 65 percent performance gain in Unreal Engine compilation and up to a 22 percent uplift in Adobe Premiere Pro compared to the same Intel chip.

As for the Threadripper Pro 9995WX, AMD claims it is up to 26 percent faster in Adobe After Effects compared to its immediate predecessor, the Threadripper Pro 7995WX. It also reportedly delivers a 17 percent performance uplift in Autodesk Maya, 20 percent in V-Ray, and 19 percent in Cinebench (nT).

AMD also compared the AI performance of the 9995WX against that of the Xeon W9-3595X. According to the company, its new workstation chip delivers up to 49 percent faster LLM processing in DeepSeek R1 32B, up to 34 percent faster text-to-image generation in ComfyUI + Flux.1 Diffusion Model, and up to 28 percent faster AI-enhanced creation in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

The 9995WX also reportedly shows massive gains in other creative and professional applications, such as KeyShot and V-Ray. In the former, it delivers up to 119 percent faster rendering than the Xeon W9-3595X, while in the latter, it is up to 145 percent faster, according to AMD's data. Performance in other apps, such as After Effects and Autodesk Maya, also shows high double-digit gains.

The Threadripper Pro 9000 WX-series comprises seven SKUs, while the non-Pro HEDT lineup includes three chips. The flagship 9995WX features 96 cores, 192 threads, a boost clock of up to 5.45 GHz, a 350 W TDP, and 384 MB of L3 cache. It offers 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes and supports DDR5-6400 ECC memory. The new chips will launch in July, although AMD has yet to announce pricing.

Usually I take these claims with a grain of salt but… the 7980x already destroys Intel’s latest Xeons, so it’s not far fetched to think the 9980x and 9995x will completely annihilate them…

Well if only AMD GPU department can be as competent xD

One of these years, AMD just might make a competitive GPU.

We will all know when reviews are published.

"up to"
Marketing speak for "almost never".

They can't be sued for it though because they have data saying it happened once under ideal conditions.

I REALLY want to build a thread ripper system but can't justify it as long as 1) this is a hobby and I'm not making money and 2) used server hardware is as cheap as it is, especially Intel hardware. I've always been an AMD guy, but my homelab is filled with mostly Xeons and old Ryzen CPUs.

I got on the Threadripper bandwagon about 5-6 years ago, biggest difference between server hardware is that most servers are conservatively clocked. The Threadripper does better than most on single thread that needs clock speed.

Well, nothing I don't important enough to need the extra speed. I have a 7800x in my main rig and a 5950x in my server rack, aside from that, its mostly 9th and 10th gen xeons I got for a bargain. I use most of my machines for playing with VMs and hosting game servers from 10-15 years ago that I used to play. I have a NAS, a plex, one is a dedicated firewall sitting between my modem and my router. I ran a local AI for awhile, but it was slow just run on CPU alone. Probably be fine if I stuck a workstation GPU in there, but that's out of the budget.

I mean, its really is just a hobby.

Kind of the same, except I only really run one PC for everything (aside from a laptop, htpc, etc. all pretty low power stuff). Do all my gaming, work, video/photo, etc on my 7960x.

I have 11 systems in my rack l, my PC, laptop and work laptop. So I have 14 computers

Nice...My main system is a 7960x, 128GB ram, 7900xtx, 2 custom cooling loops, one for cpu, one for gpu. and a boatload of storage...ssd & SCSI

Man… that could easily be replace with 1 7980x
Well, not the laptops…
I have a 7980x and an Alienware 18…
