AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX tops Cinebench R23 ranking

AMD has been the undisputed king of the high-end workstation CPU market since it first unleashed Threadripper, and it looks like that reign is set to continue. With the official launch of the new Threadripper Pro 9000WX series just around the corner, the first Cinebench R23 score for the flagship 9995WX has surfaced, and the numbers are immense.

According to a leak from nApoleon (via HXL), the 96-core Zen 5-based Threadripper Pro 9995WX achieves a staggering 173,000 points in the Cinebench R23 multi-core test. To put that into perspective, that's roughly 46% more than its stock predecessor, the 7995WX, which typically lands around the 120K mark in the same test.

However, this performance comes at a cost, and that cost is power. The report claims the CPU was pulling 840W from the wall during the test, over twice as much as the chip's official 350W TDP, suggesting that to unleash its full potential, you'll need a capable PSU and a robust cooling solution to keep it from throttling.

Perhaps the most impressive part of this result is how it stacks up against the previous generation's overclocking records. The last gen 7995WX needed extreme cooling solutions like liquid nitrogen to break the 180K score barrier. The fact that the new 9995WX can get close to that figure, presumably on more conventional cooling, speaks volumes about the architectural improvements of Zen 5.
