The currently best CPU is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, but one processor is supposed to be significantly faster. However, the new Threadripper Pro 9995WX is not only expensive but also too fast for many gaming PCs.
Now, a leak with a benchmark for the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX has surfaced. The leak allegedly showcases the raw performance of the processor. And the performance significantly exceeds that of the popular and very good Ryzen 7 9800x3D.
Threadripper Pro 9995WX delivers high performance, aimed at professional users
What kind of CPU is this? With the Threadripper Pro 9995WX, AMD intends to launch a new processor for workstation systems starting July 23, 2025. The chip has 96 CPU cores and offers 192 threads. The price is set at $11,699, listed at Geizhals.de for 12,400 Euros.
How fast is the CPU? The leak shows a CPU multicore test score of 173,452 for a CPU identified as the new flagship AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX in a post on X. This was reported by the English-language magazine PCGamesn.com.
By comparison: The Ryzen 7 9800x3D achieves a multi-core score of only 23,315 points (via cpu-monkey.com), still ahead of AMD’s previous champion, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. We compared Ryzen 7 9800x3D and 7800X3D and explain whether the older CPU can still be worthwhile for you.
Is such a high-end CPU worth it for gamers? No, generally not. On one hand, the Threadripper 9995WX is supposed to cost up to $11,699 at launch; for that money, you could also buy a high-end gaming PC with an RTX 5090.
On the other hand, AMD itself emphasizes that the Threadripper is aimed at the professional market, especially at individuals who want to use their processor for AI and video rendering. High performance is needed here, which such a powerful processor can provide. In a gaming PC, the system might not be able to utilize the many cores at all.
With the KX-7000 series, the company Zhaoxin has introduced its new CPUs for consumers and gamers. And this processor looks really promising. It may not surpass AMD and Intel yet, but could still become a hidden gem when it becomes available in Europe: A new processor could become a hidden gem for gamers – coming from neither AMD nor Intel
