The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X is a Zen 5 high-end-desktop processor with 24 cores and 48 threads, a 4.2GHz base clock, and boost up to 5.4GHz - a great fit for creators and enthusiasts who want strong multi-threaded performance for rendering and encoding along with fast everyday responsiveness. Its 128MB L3 cache and quad-channel DDR5 memory (on TRX50 motherboards) handle demanding creative workloads well, and 92 PCIe 5.0 lanes give plenty of room for GPUs and fast storage. The most accessible entry point into the Zen 5 non-PRO Threadripper lineup. No cooler included.
