New ones are clearly just around the corner We've already seen that the Threadripper 7980X and Threadripper Pro 7995WX processors offer incredible performance, but there are a number of new records worth noting. [caption id="attachment_83835" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] For example, back in October, at a closed event, AMD itself said that the 96-core Threadripper Pro 7995WX can be overclocked in such a way that it will score more than 184,000 points in Cinebench R23. So far no one has achieved such a result, but there are already first results using liquid nitrogen: 177,050 points. Before the advent of the Threadripper Pro 7995WX, the best result was the record of two 96-core Epyc 9654, which was 147,668 points. Threadripper Pro 7995WX sets a number of new records [caption id="attachment_83837" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] In Cinebench R24, the result was 8230 points, while the previous record was held by the Intel Xeon W9-3945X and it was 6159 points. The result in 7zip is even more impressive. If previously Threadripper Pro 5995WX held the title of record holder with a score of almost 514,000 points, then Threadripper Pro 7995WX almost doubled it, scoring almost 1.1 million points.

This is one and a half times faster than the overclocked Xeon W9-3495X The monstrous 96-core Threadripper Pro 7995WX processor continues to tear old records to shreds. As soon as we had time to talk about  1.1 million points in 7zip and 184,000 in Cinebench R23 , the processor immediately reached a completely different height: more than 200,000 points in Cinebench R23! [caption id="attachment_84145" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] More precisely, the result was 201,501 points. The Elmor OC team, which set the record, used liquid nitrogen and overclocked the CPU to 6 GHz. [caption id="attachment_84146" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] Threadripper Pro 7995WX sets new records At the same time, the processor consumed a monstrous 1.58 kW, however, at one time the Xeon W9-3495X showed a much lower result, consuming almost 1.9 kW. https://youtu.be/CP6vuvOVTcc It is likely that many records will still be achieved with the participation of the Threadripper Pro 7995WX. But whether Intel will be able to release something of the same level in this segment in the coming years is still an open question. The upcoming Xeon Scalable Emerald Rapids generation will not offer a significant increase in the number of cores, nor any completely new architecture.

Based on RISC-V cores The Chinese company SophGo is developing a processor based on the RISC-V architecture, using solutions from the American company SiFive. [caption id="attachment_82463" align="aligncenter" width="600"] 64-core processor[/caption] The processor, called the SG2380, has 16 SiFive P670 cores, each roughly equivalent in performance to a Cortex-A77, a SiFive X280 AI/ML accelerator, and an AXT-16-512 GPU from Imagination Technologies. The Chinese company SophGo is creating a 64-core processor based on American SiFive technologies In addition, SophGo has already announced the SG2044 SoC, which will be released next year. It will already offer 64 processor cores, support for PCIe 5.0 and LPDDR5x. Both solutions will be produced using the 12 nm process technology, apparently at the facilities of the Chinese SMIC, since initially the SiFive cores, which SophGo uses, are focused on much more modern technology processes. Thus, SophGo is not subject to the latest US sanctions, since they do not apply to the RISC-V architecture. The popularity of this architecture has been growing recently, and American sanctions may make RISC-V an even more popular solution specifically in China.
