Early details for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 'Storm Peak' chips (Zen 4, 64 cores, 128 threads) have appeared online, and a new socket is expected.
The Einstein@Home database has been updated with new data on AMD's top-tier Ryzen Threadripper 7000-series processors, codenamed "Storm Peak".
The processor's OPN is listed as "100-000000454-20_Y". Unfortunately, the information obtained doesn't allow us to definitively identify all of the chip's characteristics. However, we can confidently state that the tested processor is indeed based on the Zen 4 architecture:
⤢ ВІДКРИТИAdditionally, the leaked CPU is known to feature 64 cores and 128 threads. This configuration suggests it could be either a server-grade EPYC or a high-end desktop Threadripper. However, considering the development and testing timelines for previous-generation shredders (Threadripper), it's highly probable we're looking at a top-tier representative of the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 family. Still, this is just speculation, and it's entirely possible we're only seeing one of AMD EPYC's mid-range variants.
It's currently unknown whether the new Threadripper 7000 processors will be compatible with the current SP5/TR5 socket. However, given their use of advanced DDR5 memory and the PCI-e 5.0 interface, it seems quite evident that the "Storm Peak" processors will switch to a new socket.
