FULL STORY
======================================================================Ryzen 
Threadripper Pro 9995WX now on sale with Zen 5, 96 cores, 192 threads AMDs 
most powerful workstation CPU available from major retailers for $11,699 Most 
professionals wont need the 9995WX despite the impressive specs 

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX is now available to buy from major 
retailers, including Amazon and Newegg , with a starting price of $11,699 - 
much cheaper than initial predictions . 

Its the top chip in AMDs new Threadripper Pro 9000 WX-series and is built on 
the latest Zen 5 architecture, sporting 96 cores, 192 threads, and offers a 
boost clock of up to 5.4GHz. 

The 9995WX uses TSMCs 4nm process and fits the sTR5 socket. The CPU supports 
8-channel DDR5-6400 memory, offers up to 148 PCIe lanes, and carries a 350W 
TDP. For professional workloads 

This processor is aimed at professional workloads that can scale across 
dozens of threads. 

AMD lists compatibility with chipsets like Pro 695, TRX50, and WRX90. 

The chip also supports ECC memory and includes features like AMD Pro 
technologies and EXPO for memory tuning. 

For those running highly parallel tasks like visual effects rendering or 
scientific modeling, this processor can deliver impressive throughput, but at 
this price, its hard to recommend unless the application is truly pushing the 
limits of core count. 

While AMDs new CPU can deliver unmatched multi-threaded performance in the 
right environment, most professionals will likely find better value in AMD's 
lower-tier options (the  EPYC 9655 matches Threadripper PRO 9995WX core count 
for less than half the price) or in Intel's workstation CPUs, depending on 
their specific use case. 

With no integrated graphics, a discrete GPU is required. Cooling is also left 
to the buyer, as no cooler is bundled. 

Unless you're operating in a niche that truly benefits from 96 cores, its 
unlikely to be the best choice or offer the best value for most users. 

Buyers in the UK can, as always, expect to pay slightly more than their 
American counterparts. Novatech is currently selling the new chip there for 
10,510, or around $14,205. You may also like 16-Core AMD EPYC 4005 CPU is
