AMD has officially unveiled pricing for its next-gen Threadripper 9000 Pro lineup, starting with five models offering between 16 to 96 Zen 5 cores. This new generation of Threadripper Pro is advertised as the world’s fastest workstation solution, thanks to its great performance in complex simulations, rendering, AI inferencing, and software compilation. It also boasts the latest features, from AVX-512 support to 8-channel DDR5-6400 memory and PCIe 5.0 connectivity.
Announced a few weeks ago at Computex 2025, the new Threadripper Pro 9000WX Series will be available to customers starting July 23 via AMD’s partner OEMs and system integrators, including Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Supermicro. DIY users will also be able to grab one via retail channels at the following SEPs (Suggested Etail Pricings).
Processor | Cores/Threads | Boost/ Base | L3 Cache | SEP |
Threadripper Pro 9995WX | 96 / 192 | Up to 5.4 / 2.5GHz | 384MB | $11,699 |
Threadripper Pro 9985WX | 64 / 128 | Up to 5.4 / 3.2GHz | 256MB | $7,999 |
Threadripper Pro 9975WX | 32 / 64 | Up to 5.4 / 4.0GHz | 128MB | $4,099 |
Threadripper Pro 9965WX | 24 / 48 | Up to 5.4 / 4.2GHz | 128MB | $2,899 |
Threadripper Pro 9955WX | 16 / 32 | Up to 5.4 / 4.5GHz | 64MB | $1,649 |
These are noticeably lower than the previously leaked prices, especially for the flagship 9995WX, which was expected to retail around $13,000. That said, these remain just recommendations from AMD, thus, stores can and may ask for more depending on demand and availability. Also note that the 12-core/24-thread Threadripper Pro 9945WX isn’t listed here, suggesting that it will be released sometime later.
Even so, the Threadripper 9000 Pro CPUs end up more expensive than their predecessors, the Threadripper 7000 Pro, which cost between $2,649 for 24 cores and $9,999 for the high-end 96 cores. The higher pricing seems to work as market segmentation since the new lineup is advertised as being up to 26% faster. Putting the new 9000 series at identical prices would render the previous generation unappealing, especially as both run on the same platforms.
Chipset | Processors | Memory Support | PCIe lanes (Total/Usable) |
AMD WRX90 | Threadripper Pro 9000WX | 8-channel, up to 2TB DDR5-6400 RDIMM | 148 / 144 (with up to 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes) |
AMD TRX50 | Threadripper 9000 & Threadripper Pro 9000WX | 4-channel, up to 1TB DDR5-6400 RDIMM | 92 / 88 (with up to 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes) |
Though expensive from an individual consumer standpoint, AMD’s Threadripper 9000 Pro lineup remains unchallenged thanks to its excellent package and price-to-performance ratio. If you need more than the 16 cores available on consumer CPUs, Threadripper is the next best thing, offering up to 96 cores for highly threaded tasks. Furthermore, it brings other professional-focused features such as the enterprise-level security and management required by modern businesses. To put it simply, you will know when you need one.
