AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen Threadripper Pro processors have a lot in common, but they are all in the same segment of the market. The regular Ryzen Threadrippers are aimed at the so-called extreme workstations that are purely made of steel or made up by boutique PC makers. There are no rivals in this segment, so AMD feels very comfortable sticking with the Ryzen Threadripper 3000-series CPUs based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro WX CPUs are targeted at OEMs such as Lenovo, and compete against Intel’s Xeon processors that have traditionally been strong contenders in the workstation segment. To better compete with this processor, AMD requires the best equipment in its possession. If we are making sure, it will be better to develop the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX-series platform compared with the other versions, then it will be possible to continue with the non-Pro Ryzen Threadripper 5000 CPUs in the future. The company’s actual plans for the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX-Series CPUs remain unknown. Since we only waited a few weeks for CES 2022, we wouldn’t surprise anybody to hear more in January.
