AMD Ryzen Threadripper: Powering Workstations That Enable Creative Work

Having 96 cores gives the Threadripper processor the ability to handle complex workloads more quickly and efficiently than older generations of processors. Software vendors are starting to take advantage of these capabilities, writing applications that use multiple cores simultaneously to massively reduce compiling times, so work gets done faster. AMD also increased the number of PCI Express lanes that are available and expanded memory to up to a terabyte, all of which boosts performance.

Threadripper Pro can go from 12 to 96 cores, enabling a great deal of expandability. Additionally, the processor can go from a single graphics processing unit up to three GPUs, double-wide. This would enable the deployment, for example, of three NVIDIA 600 Ada Generation graphics cards, each with 48 gigabytes of video RAM, providing powerful rendering, graphics and computing capabilities. This expandability allows IT teams to configure their workstations with different capabilities to satisfy the needs of a variety of workers, including engineers, designers and high-end workstation users.

HP workstations with Threadripper processors also have new thermal technology that enables them to fit in small case but still deliver optimal performance.
