The company itself has already tested its next-generation Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series ‘Storm Peak’ CPUs with increased core counts as AMD rolls out up to 16-core Ryzen 7000 ‘Raphael’ processors based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture. I’m here. A perk that high-end desktops and workstations tend to offer.
AMD (and some of its close partners) tend to test their EPYC and Ryzen Threadripper processors in distributed computing workloads. This is because it takes advantage of the large number of cores. However, this time we tested an engineering sample of AMD’s as-yet-unannounced 64-core CPU, supporting simultaneous multithreading.

CPU is “AuthenticAMD AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000454-20_Y [Family 25 Model 24 Stepping 1]On the other hand, there aren’t many new 64-core CPUs from AMD, so it’s safe to assume that we’re dealing with the codenamed Storm Peak processor.
AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 5000WX series processors for workstations (the best CPUs for workstations these days) have hit the market much later than expected. Probably because its biggest rival Intel didn’t have a rival to match AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 3000 and 3000WX series CPUs.
Still, AMD seems to be somewhat faster with Zen 4 based Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors. According to AMD’s roadmap, the company is expected to launch these CPUs in the first half of 2023.
In addition to the next-gen Ryzen Threadripper, someone is testing AMD’s next-generation APU codename Phoenix Point APU-accelerated processing units for mainstream laptops and desktops. Rosetta@home (opens in new tab).
Unfortunately, neither Einstein@Home nor Rosetta@Home revealed proper performance numbers for their CPUs, so we can only speculate on how fast AMD’s upcoming processors will be. It is imperative that it has been tested outside the lab.
