AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X 24-Core 4.2 GHz sTR5 desktop processor 100-000001595WOF

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X 24-Core Workstation CPU

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X is a 24-core desktop processor built on the TSMC 4nm FinFET Shimada Peak architecture. It targets professional artists, architects, and engineers who need high multi-threaded throughput for rendering, simulation, and complex design workloads. The chip operates at a 4.2 GHz base frequency with a maximum turbo frequency up to 5.4 GHz. It fits the Socket sTR5 platform and carries a 350W thermal design power.

128MB L3 cache and DDR5 6400 memory support

The processor provides 128MB of L3 cache and 24MB of L2 cache to keep large data sets close to the 48 threads. Memory support covers DDR5 6400 across four channels with ECC capability for error correction in critical workloads. No integrated graphics are included, so a discrete GPU is required for display output. The platform enables high-speed storage and expandable I/O for demanding creative pipelines.

Verify sTR5 motherboard, 350W cooling.

Before ordering, confirm your motherboard uses the Socket sTR5 interface and supports a 350W processor with appropriate power delivery. A cooling solution rated for at least 350W is essential to maintain the 4.2 GHz base and 5.4 GHz boost frequencies. You must also install a discrete graphics card because the CPU has no integrated graphics. Check that your power supply and chassis clearance accommodate the combined thermal load.
