Initial details surface for AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 'Storm Peak' chips

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:

Additionally, 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.
