Clock speeds run from a 4.0GHz base up to 5.3GHz boost, backed by a substantial cache hierarchy -- 128MB of L3 cache plus 32MB of L2 cache across its 32 cores -- which meaningfully benefits large, memory-bound professional workloads by keeping more working data close to the cores. Built on TSMC's 5nm process, the chip carries a 350W TDP, reflecting both its high core count and its unlocked overclocking support (with AMD EXPO memory profile support for tuned memory overclocking). As a PRO-series Threadripper, it also supports ECC memory and the enterprise-grade security/manageability features AMD includes across its PRO processor line, distinguishing it from the non-PRO consumer Threadripper series. Because it uses the sTR5 socket, it requires a WRX90-based motherboard and cannot be dropped into an older Threadripper or standard AM5 desktop board. Buyers should budget separately for a socket sTR5-compatible high-performance CPU cooler (air or liquid, rated for 350W+), as none is bundled with this processor.
