Bargain! AMD leaves new Threadripper 9000 prices unchanged at $5,000
AMD has maintained the prices of its new Threadripper 9000 series chips, despite raising the prices of its Threadripper Pro lineup. The flagship Ryzen Threadripper 9980X will be priced at $4,999, the same as its predecessor, the Ryzen 7980X. This can be considered a "discount" of around $130 due to inflation. The new Threadripper 9000 series will begin shipping on July 31 and offer up to 96 cores and 192 threads. The chips are designed to support up to 1TB of DDR5-6400 RDIMM memory across four channels and feature 92 lanes of PCIe, with 80 of them being PCIe 5.0. AMD has positioned the new Threadrippers for AI model training, while recommending the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the upcoming Ryzen AI Max and Max+ (Strix Halo) processors for gaming and AI inferencing. Therefore, the new Threadrippers may not be the best choice for most consumers, especially with the available alternatives.
