V-COLOR Intros EXPO OC RDIMM Memory Octo-kits for AMD Threadripper 7000 WRX90 Workstations

V-COLOR today introduced a series of overclocking memory RDIMM kits for workstations powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000WX processors on the WRX90 platform that features 8-channel DDR5 memory. The kits include 8 RDIMMs, with densities ranging between 16 GB per RDIMM (128 GB per kit), to 96 GB per RDIMM (768 GB per kit); and comes in speeds ranging between DDR5-5600 and DDR5-7200. The best part? These modules feature AMD EXPO profiles, which should make enabling their advertised speeds as easy as a couple of clicks in the motherboard's UEFI setup program.

An EXPO profile not just applies the kit's memory speed, timings, and voltages, but also several sub-timings and settings that are specific to the AMD platform, which are not found on Intel. V-COLOR has tested its overclocking RDIMMs on popular AMD WRX90 chipset motherboards, namely the ASRock WRX90 WS EVO, ASUS PRO WS WRX90E-SAGE SE, and certain unreleased WRX90 workstation motherboards by Supermicro. Although the RDIMMs lack heatspreaders for the DRAM chips, V-COLOR is including what it calls "micro heatsinks" for the PMIC and RCDs. The RCD in particular is crucial to get Threadrippers to operate at speeds such as DDR5-7200. The kits should be available starting today, with all models available from mid-March. The company didn't reveal pricing.

NVIDIA GH200 72-core Grace CPU Benched Against AMD Threadripper 7000 Series

GPTshop.ai is building prototypes of their "ultimate high-end desktop supercomputer," running the NVIDIA GH200 "Grace" CPU for AI and HPC workloads. Michael Larabel—founder and principal author of Phoronix—was first allowed to "remote access" a GPTshop.ai GH200 576 GB workstation converted model in early February—for the purpose of benchmarking it against systems based on AMD EPYC Zen 4 and Intel Xeon Emerald Rapids processors. Larabel noted: "it was a very interesting battle" that demonstrated the capabilities of 72 Arm Neoverse-V2 cores (in Grace). With this GPTshop.ai GH200 system actually being in workstation form, I also ran some additional benchmarks looking at the CPU capabilities of the GH200 compared to AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series workstations."

Larabel had on-site access to two different Threadripper systems—a Hewlett-Packard (HP) Z6 G5 A workstation and a System76 Thelio Major semi-custom build. No comparable Intel "Xeon W hardware" was within reach, so the Team Green desktop supercomputer was only pitched against AMD HEDT processors. The HP review sample was configured with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX 96-core / 192-thread Zen 4 processor, 8 x 16 GB DDR5-5200 memory, and NVIDIA RTX A4000 GPU. Larabel said that it was an "all around nice high-end AMD workstation." The System76 Thelio Major was specced with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X processor "as the top-end non-PRO SKU." It is a 64-core / 128-thread part, working alongside 4 x 32 GB DDR5-4800 memory and a Radeon PRO W7900 graphics card.

Threadripper Overclocking Blows a Hidden Fuse, AMD confirms: Warranty not Voided

According to Tom's Hardware, today we are finding out that AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors, codenamed Storm Peak, including Pro and non-Pro SKUs, blow a fuse on the chip when overclocking is enabled. Modern microprocessors have dozens of fuses that are used to store information inside the chip. For example, the factory stores the per-processor default voltage information in the fuses. On downgraded graphics chips, the shaders get disabled through such fuses, too. These fuses are not like your household circuit breakers—they will blow only when a specific command is sent to the processor, there is no way for them to break accidentally through system crashes or power spikes. In the case of Ryzen Threadripper 7000, the BIOS code will blow a fuse when the user enables overclocking in the BIOS settings, it reacts only to the user-initiated UI change, not to any kind of measurement. Before that happens a warning is shown. AMD uses this mechanism to see any indications if any kind of overclocking has been done to the processor.

While the messaging might suggest otherwise, just enabling overclocking does not void all warranties. In a statement to Tom's Hardware an AMD representative confirmed: "Threadripper 7000 Series processors do contain a fuse that is blown when overclocking is enabled. To be clear, blowing this fuse does not void your warranty. Statements that enabling an overclocking/overvolting feature will "void" the processor warranty are not correct. Per AMD's standard Terms of Sale, the warranty excludes any damage that results from overclocking/overvolting the processor. However, other unrelated issues could still qualify for warranty repair/replacement," noted the spokesperson. Ultimately, overclocking and overvolting by themselves will not cause the owner of AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series CPU to lose the right to repair and seek AMD's help. Other factors, such as damages induced by overclocking, will be a warranty-voiding factor though. These can occur from constant overheating, which significantly lowers the life expectancy of the CPU.

New Dell Technologies research shows that 65 to 75% of organizations are already reporting quantified outcomes with GenAI initiatives. As a result, approximately three-fourths of organizations are identifying incremental funding to support GenAI initiatives. This is consistent with the interest that we're seeing with workstations. Our Dell Precision workstations are no longer just tools, they're the engines of innovation. They let companies develop and fine-tune complex GenAI models locally before deploying them at scale.

Gigabyte's TRX50 AERO D for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series Features USB4

Gigabyte has revealed its first TRX50 motherboard today for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Pro and Threadripper 7000 CPUs and to call this board feature packed, would almost be an understatement. The product page is still scant on details, but there's enough there to give us a good idea of what's on offer. The board is a full size ATX board which appears to be somewhere between a high-end consumer board and a workstation board. The heatsink layout isn't as refined as some of Gigabyte's current consumer board, which spoils the overall looks somewhat. With no less than three PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 slots and one PCIe 4.0, one has to wonder if the heatsinks covering the SSDs will be enough, considering how hot PCIe 5.0 drives can get.

The board has a further two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and one PCIe 4.0 x16, so there won't be any need to worry about lack of PCIe lanes per slot here. Somewhat disappointingly, the board only has four DDR5 memory slots, although quad channel support is offered, as well as support for registered DIMMs. The 12 layer PCB also houses a 16+8+4 power phase design, which might be needed based on the expected core count on some of the Threadripper 7000 series CPUs. This is also one of the first boards with onboard USB4 support, with one of the ports offering DisplayPort output, although a DP to DP connection from the graphics card to a DP input on the motherboard is still required. The board also sports a 10 Gbps and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, WiFi 7, a front header for a 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port and apparently two audio chips, although the list of specs and the board feature image seem to disagree on what's on offer here. The board is likely to be available at the same time as AMD's new Threadripper CPUs.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series Lineup Revealed

AMD is expected to launch its Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors soon, and we have basic specs of the lineup. Apparently there are two distinct classes of Threadripper processors, similar to the Threadripper 3000 series—one caters to the HEDT segment, and is based on the new AMD Socket TRX5, and the other caters to the workstation market under the Threadripper PRO 7000WX series, and uses a derivative of Socket SP5. There are as many as 7 processor models, all of which are based on the latest AMD "Zen 4" microarchitecture.

The HEDT lineup (Socket TRX5), includes the Ryzen Threadripper 7960X (100-100001352WOF), the Threadripper 7970X (100-100001351WOF), and the Threadripper 7980X (100-100001350WOF). The 7960X is a 24-core/48-thread processor with a maximum boost frequency of 5.30 GHz, and 152 MB of total cache (L2+L3). The 7970X is a 32-core/64-thread model with the same 5.30 GHz maximum boost frequency, and 160 MB of total cache. Leading the pack is the 7980X, a 64-core/128-thread processor that tops out at 5.10 GHz boost, and with 320 MB of total cache. All three models in the HEDT series come with a TDP of 350 W.

SilverStone Intros XE360-SP5 AIO Liquid CPU Coolers for AMD Socket SP5

SilverStone introduced the XE360-SP5, an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for AMD Socket SP5, making it fit for servers and workstations based on the EPYC "Genoa" and "Genoa-X" processors, and its upcoming Ryzen Threadripper HEDT processors, assuming AMD sticks to this socket infrastructure. The cooler features a copper water block that's optimized for the chiplet design of Socket SP5 processors, considering the hottest components (the up to twelve "Zen 4" CCDs) are toward the edges, and the central region has the relatively cooler sIOD. The block does not have an integrated pump, which makes it 1U-capable. It measures 92 mm (W) x 25 mm (H) x 118 mm (D). The block is made of nickel-plated copper, with come of its structural parts being made of aluminium.

A set of 46 cm-long coolant tubes connects the block to the 28 mm-thick 360 mm x 120 mm radiator. This radiator has an integrated pump that turns at speeds of up to 4,000 RPM. A set of three SilverStone 120 mm fans comes included, each of these takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,800 RPM, with a noise level of up to 46 dBA, airflow of up to 87.72 CFM, and 3.09 mm H₂O pressure. The company didn't reveal pricing.

AMD Reportedly Launching Threadripper Pro 7000 Series on October 19

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 "Storm Peak" CPU series has not received any form of official announcement—we have relied solely on leaks to find out nitty-gritty details about Team Red's Zen 4-based follow-up to the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 lineup.
