The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X is a Zen 5 high-end-desktop processor for enthusiasts and prosumers who need serious multi-threaded performance - 3D rendering, video encoding, and large compiles - without stepping up to the PRO WX-series. 64 cores and 128 threads are backed by a 256MB L3 cache, and boost clocks reach up to 5.4GHz for strong single-threaded responsiveness too. Runs on TRX50 motherboards with quad-channel DDR5 memory. No cooler is included, since a 350W chip like this needs a substantial air or liquid cooler. A capable choice for creators who also want some gaming headroom on the side.
