Architectural Supremacy with Zen 5
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X (SKU: 100-100001595WOF) is the pinnacle of workstation-grade performance for the enthusiast desktop. Leveraging the 4nm Zen 5 architecture, this 24-core, 48-thread processor is optimized to deliver incredible IPC (Instructions Per Clock) gains. For architects, engineers, and AI developers, the 9960X provides the computational density required to move from concept to final production faster than ever before.
Massive Cache for Complex Workflows
Equipped with a total of 152MB of cache (128MB L3 + 24MB L2), the 9960X is built to handle data-heavy applications. This massive cache reduces memory latency for tasks such as real-time 3D rendering in Blender or V-Ray, complex physics simulations, and local AI model fine-tuning. By keeping more data close to the execution cores, the 9960X ensures a smooth, responsive experience even under extreme multitasking loads.
