Unsurprisingly, AMD apparently once again delivered with its somewhat legendary Threadripper line. Not so long ago, Team Red officially officially has the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series, with the availability of new high -end office computer fleas (HEDT) from July 2025. The month of July has now arrived, and a first specimen appeared on the famous benchmark passmark. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X obtained a score of 147,481 in the MultithREAD test, making it the fastest office processor among the 1,450 tested.
MultithREADS tests have always been a force for AMD and its Ryzen processors, and the 9980X threadripper can call on its 64 cores and 128 threads to help it fly over the suite of CPU Mark tests. The clock frequencies are officially 3.2 GHz (base) and 5.4 GHz (boost), with a 256 MB L3 cache to help accelerate system performance. The Benchmark Passmark site indicates that the typical TDP is 350 W, and underlines that there is a great margin of error because it is the first Shimada Peak Threadripper of this specific level for enthusiastic to appear so far.
In terms of generational improvement, the Ryzen Threadripper 9980X is a descendant of the Ryzen Threadripper 7980x (available on Amazon), which appeared in 2023 and which also boasted of having 64 cores. The latter CPU obtained a multithreading score of 136,517 on Passmark based on 74 samples, so that the part based on Zen 5 has an acceptable advance of +8.03% compared to its predecessor based on Zen 4. Due to the lack of competition in this niche, Team Red probably thinks that amazing improvements from one generation to the other are not really necessary here.
