extremely excited to expand our leadership high-end desktop
processor family and deliver the world’s fastest processors.”
3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper Processors: World’s Most
Powerful Desktop ProcessorsThe 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen
Threadripper lineup features two new processors built on
industry-leading 7nm “Zen 2” core architecture, boasting up to 88
PCIe® 4.0 lanes and 144MB cache with extraordinary power
efficiency. Achieving up to 90 percent faster performance over the
competition’s top-end HEDT processor1, the new 32-core Ryzen
Threadripper 3970X processor offers unsurpassed performance as the
most powerful and fastest desktop processor1 in the high-end
desktop market.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X offers significantly better
performance than the competition across multiple content creation
and compute-intensive workloads, including:
- Up to 90% faster performance in Cinebench R20 nT1
- Up to 47% more performance in Adobe Premiere4
- Up to 49% more performance in V-Ray4
- Up to 43% more performance in Chromium Release 78 Compile5
- Up to 36% more performance in Unreal Engine5
The 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors deliver this
leadership performance all while delivering up to 66% better power
efficiency6.
In tandem with the launch of the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper
processors, AMD unveiled a brand new Socket sTRX4, optimized for
near- and long-term scalability of the Ryzen Threadripper platform.
Offering 4X more bandwidth to the chipset compared to 2nd Gen AMD
Ryzen Threadripper, and up to 2.5X more available bandwidth than
the competition for simultaneous peripherals like SSDs or GPUs2,
3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper offers the ultimate HEDT platform
without compromise.

1 Testing by AMD performance labs on 10/07/2019 comparing an AMD
Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 3970X and Intel© Core™ i9-9980XE in the
Cinebench R20 nT benchmark test. Results may vary. CPK-01
2 Specifications of 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper processors
as of October 29th, 2019. As of October 8, 2019, the AMD 3rd Gen
Ryzen Threadripper processors can deliver 133GB/s of concurrent
device bandwidth. Intel's competing high-end desktop processor, the
Core i9-10980XE, can deliver up to 52GB/s of concurrent device
bandwidth. 52/133=2.55 times the bandwidth on 3rd gen AMD
Threadripper. The desktop platform that previously offered the most
bandwidth on desktop was the 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper processor,
which could deliver up to 128 GB/s of bandwidth. CPK-14

7 Max boost for AMD Ryzen PRO Processors is the maximum
frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a
bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on
several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste;
system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset
driver; and the latest OS updates. GD-150
8 Though both are often measured in watts, it is important to
distinguish between thermal and electrical watts. Thermal wattage
for processors is conveyed via thermal design power (TDP). TDP is a
calculated value that conveys an appropriate thermal solution to
achieve the intended operation of a processor. Electrical watts are
not a variable in the TDP calculation. By design, electrical watts
can vary from workload to workload and may exceed thermal watts.
