AMD just released their newest monster processor and people are already testing how fast it runs. The Threadripper Pro 9995WX managed to hit over 30,000 points on Geekbench testing software. This massive chip packs 96 cores and 192 threads into one powerful package. Computer enthusiasts are comparing it against older models to see how much better it performs. The new processor costs more than $12,000 which puts it out of reach for most regular buyers.
Intel processors still hold the top spots on Geekbench charts with scores reaching almost 34,000 points. AMD chips usually perform better at heavy workloads but Geekbench testing tends to favor Intel designs. The new Threadripper scored 30,170 points which matches its older brother pretty closely. Both processors have the same number of cores but the newer version runs 300 MHz faster. The latest model uses updated Zen 5 technology that should make it more efficient.
AMD designed this processor for businesses and professional workstations rather than gaming computers. The company listed the chip for almost $13,000 on their business website. Previous generation models started at around $10,000 when they first launched. Computer experts expect the price to drop over time as more companies start selling these processors. AMD hopes their latest creation will dominate the workstation market against Intel competition.
