We’re still eagerly awaiting Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series retail availability, but the processors are already beginning to show their might in synthetic benchmarks. AMD promised sizeable generational uplifts with these CPUs and it seems the chips are delivering just that.
According to new results on the Geekbench website, the flagship Ryzen Threadripper Pro 995WX scored a whopping 30,170 multi-core points in the application’s CPU benchmark. This puts the processor about 20% ahead of its predecessor, Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX, which sits in the 25,000-point range. However, there are rare occasions of the latter chip scoring 30,000+, so we’ll have to see how the newcomer stacks up come launch.

Single-core results are less impressive, as Ryzen Threadripper Pro 995WX barely moves past 7995WX with 2,800 single-core points. This translates to a 3.6% gen-on-gen improvement. However, the same caveat mentioned earlier applies here, and this CPU could have more to give upon release.
It’s worth bearing in mind that Geekbench is only one benchmark, and thus doesn’t paint the whole processing picture. Looking elsewhere, we’ve seen Ryzen Threadripper 9980X top the charts in PassMark.
For further performance context, AMD’s internal benchmarks place Ryzen Threadripper 9995WX around 26% ahead its predecessor in After Effects, 17% in Autodesk Maya, and 15% in Corona Render, to name a few. This largely thanks to the Zen 5 architecture, as core and thread counts remain the same at 96 and 192, respectively. A higher boost clock of 5.4GHz doesn’t hurt either.
Some retailers are listing Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX for €12,300 / $12,794, making it about 22% more expensive than its predecessor if these price points hold. Of course, cost is somewhat meaningless to those in pursuit of the very best CPU on the market.
