In new shipping manifests, we're learning that AMD will have a plethora of core configurations of its new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series "Shimada Peak" CPUs. We're talking about a flagship 96-core, 192-thread SKU, followed by 64C/128T, 32C/64T, and finally, a 16C/32T variant.

Previous leaks teased that we'd see the new Zen 5-based Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series CPUs would debut with the monster 96-core, 192-thread variant alongside the 16-core, 32-thread variant. But now, it seems we'll be graced by the 64-core, 128-thread, and 32-core, 64-thread variant at the same time. It'll be a thread party!

AMD's upcoming Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series CPU with 16 cores and 32 threads will feature dual 8-core CCDs, while the 96-core, 192-thread flagship will feature 12 CCDs in total (8 cores per CCD x 12 CCDs = 96 cores). Each of the CCDs will feature 32MB of L3 cache, for a total of 384MB of L3 cache on the flagship 96-core CPU.

This is identical to the Zen 4-based flagship Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX processor, with expectations that AMD will have the same 350W TDP, 128 PCIe lanes, and support for the same TRX50 and WRX90 chipsets. The big difference between the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series is the new Zen 5 architecture and newer TSMC process node.

What I want to see is AMD using its second-generation 3D V-Cache inside of the new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series "Shimada Peak" CPUs... we've got the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D processors all enjoying new X3D cache, now it's time for Shimada Peak to shine.
