New AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 ‘Storm Peak’ CPU Support Included In CUP-Z Update

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series, codenamed "Storm Peak," will be the next series of server-based data center processors from the company. This new processor is to compete with Intel's new Sapphire Rapids WS series. AMD's latest CPU will be included in the Zen 4 architecture and based on the EPYC Genoa technology. It is speculated that the new chip will offer above 64 cores, possibly achieving 96 cores in the latest processor.

Support for AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series "Storm Peak" processors added to new CPU-Z 2.05 update

Intel released the Sapphire Rapids W3400 CPU last month, which featured 56 cores. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series could go head-to-head with Intel's server chipset, especially if it can offer 64 cores or higher. With the new CPU series from AMD, the company will transition into a more contemporary architecture which will allow the company to provide increased performance and efficiency while meeting today's needs, such as new support for DDR5 memory and the PCIe 5.0 standard.

According to recent rumors, AMD may launch a High-end Desktop (HEDT) and Workstation (WS) series under a single subset for customers as part of the new AMD Threadripper 7000 series. If true, the HEDT series will offer overclocking capabilities while limiting itself to quad-channel DDR5 memory. The WS series could receive octa-channel support while receiving double the number of PCIe lanes, achieving as high as 128 lanes.

While transitioning to supporting DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 with the new Storm Peak server processors, users can expect a lower power consumption level while receiving much higher data transfers with the memory and throughout the system. Unfortunately for AMD customers, the new processor requires a new LGA-6096 socket, forcing adopters to purchase newer equipment compatible with the new series. This will also remove support for two of the company's older platforms — the TRX40 and WRX80. It is speculated that AMD is delaying the release of the Threadripper 7000 series to the third quarter of this year (September 2023) so that partners can prepare for transitioning to the new platform.
