AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X
With mainstream parts such as the Ryzen 9 7950X now offering 16 cores and 32 threads for under $600, there was no chance it wasn't going to head in this direction. That being the case, these new Threadripper 7000 processors have no direct competition. If you are in need of a core-heavy processor or require tons of PCIe lanes, there's no better alternative than this.

Esta CPU se beneficia de la arquitectura Zen 4 y su gran versatilidad, con altas frecuencias, relojes desbloqueados, compatibilidad DDR5 e incluso AMD EXPO. Es la unión de ambos mundos, el de Workstation y PC escritorio, con bastante acierto para tareas que realmente lo exijan, pero sin un rival que le haga bajar precios.

Este procesador, al menos durante unos días, se convierte por derecho propio en el mejor y más rápido que hemos probado hasta la fecha y solo puede ser vencido por su hermano mayor, el AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X que probaremos dentro de unos días.

AMD's 32-core Ryzen Threadripper 7970X delivers superior value for professional users who need supercharged multi-threaded performance and the platform's high lane counts.

We’re very happy that AMD has decided to re-enter and re-invigorate the HEDT space. The Threadripper 7000 series is a monstrously powerful platform. If you’ll benefit from a many-core processor with gobs of memory bandwidth and tons of IO, you’ll be well served by the Threadripper 7000 series. AMD’s got an absolute beast on its hands here.

As you greet the morning and find yourself standing beside the Threadripper 7970X/TRX50 PC, uttering 'your majesty' under your breath, it's clear that AMD has accomplished something noteworthy. Engaging with these processors instils a profound respect for their sheer capabilities prompting a mix of amusement and awe. Observing 64-threads in action and witnessing benchmarks complete in the blink of an eye is truly remarkable. It's challenging to find enough superlatives to describe this product.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series is an impressive entry into the HEDT market, redefining expectations for power and performance. As expected, the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series certainly had an incredible showing during our gauntlet of benchmarks. We specifically looked at the two highest core parts, the 7980X, and 7970X models, comparing with the Threadripper PRO 7995WX for good measure.

Just like it’s companion 7980X, the Ryzen Threadripper 7970X is a whopper of a chip. It delivers incredible multi-threaded performance, at higher clock speeds than the 7980X albeit with half as many cores, eating content creation workloads for breakfast. Courtesy of firmware optimizations, it also sustains higher core clocks in lightly threaded workloads for superior gaming and media capabilities. Lastly, it maintains a very reasonable power limit of 349W at stock that can be overridden for a mild boost using PBO. However, this is best avoided unless you have a top-end water cooling solution.

Con el gran desempeño de esta nueva generación podemos considerar que estamos frente a una generación que puede sin problema absorber carga para plataformas de servidores básicas. Tanto Threadripper como la serie Xeon W son familias de procesadores que se ubica como «transición» de un desktop a un servidor rackeado y que absorben demanda de trabajo que podría ser baja para un servidor y mucho para un desktop, lo que la hace perfecta para usos como arquitectura, diseño, ingeniería, cine, etc.
