AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX runs 400 copies of Doom, 8 copies of Crysis at once

AMD's new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX processor has been tested running an insane 100 copies of the original Doom at once, and 8 copies of Crysis.

PC enthusiast YouTuber Level1Techs was using the Falcon Northwest Talon workstation PC powered by the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX processor with 96 cores and 192 threads installed into an ASUS WRX90 SAGE SE motherboard, a huge 256GB of RAM, and dual NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 workstation GPUs with 96GB of VRAM each for a total of 192GB VRAM.

The YouTuber was running 400 copies of Doom at the same time, but then Level1Techs host Wendell accidentally left 100 copies of Doom running on the new system, only noticing they were running when his Cinebench R24 benchmark score was lower than he expected. But, that's when he revealed just how powerful AMD's new 96-core, 192-thread CPU was.

He started the video with a huge tease of: "can it run Crysis?" adding that "well, no, actually, because the original Crysis crashes when you have that much VRAM, but you can run eight instances of Crysis because then each one gets 24GB of VRAM". Wendell continues, saying that "a system so monstrous that... it can just casually have eight discrete 24GB VRAM GPUs from just two physical cards is a marvel of modern engineering".

Wendell then ran a Doom-powered Threadripper CPU stretching session of around 15 minutes, running 96 copies of Doom at the same time, as well as the Cinebench R24 benchmark. The YouTuber chose 96 copies of Doom instances at once because of the 96 cores (and 192 threads) on offer from the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX processor.

At around 21 minutes into the video, Wendell shows off 400 copies of Doom running simultaneously, adding: "it actually works better if I run four virtual machines, each running 100 copies of Doom".
