New Leaks Unveiled
Brace yourselves, tech enthusiasts! The enigmatic Threadripper 9000 “Shimada Peak” processors are making waves once again as leaked shipping manifests have emerged. Most notably, a 96-core variant was uncovered, reminiscent of the buzz it generated last summer. Who knew that shipping records could become the latest gossip columns for CPU aficionados?
The Expanding Zen 5 Family
The latest intel, thanks to the diligent Everest/Olrak_29, showcases a Zen 5-based product stack that includes 16, 32, 64, and 96-core models. Until now, the industry had not spotted many hints of 32-core and 64-core variations, but here we are, treating leaks like the hottest rumors from the tech underground. It seems Team Red is gearing up for something big!
What’s in Store?
While AMD has been tight-lipped about the Threadripper 7000 series successor, the evidence is piling up. Insiders speculate that all leaked Threadripper 9000 HEDT processors could have a TDP rating of 350W. Picture this: the flagship 96-core version might pack 12 CCDs (remember, eight cores per CCD), 32MB L3 cache for each CCD, and, yes, a single I/O die. Is it getting hot in here, or is it just the thermal design power?
WCCFTech even suggests that the 32-core model will run with four CCDs while the 64-core will boast eight. Joining the speculation party is a whisper about an anticipated launch window in late 2025 for “Shimada Peak.” As we await official confirmation, let’s keep our fingers crossed for an exciting future in computing!
