"Official" AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO "Shimada Peak" CPU Category Found by Data Miner

Mid-week, leakers produced an impressive list of unannounced next-gen AMD processor families—spanning across workstation, desktop, and laptop/notebook product lines. Additional data mining activities have outlined a possible "PRO model-only" release of Ryzen Threadripper Pro "Shimada Peak" 9000WX CPUs. AMD's upcoming Computex 2025 presentation plans could include an unveiling of their much-leaked Zen 5 workstation-grade processor family. Curiously, AMD's Technical Information Portal does not list a "Shimada Peak" High-End Desktop (HEDT) category—industry watchers expected to see a successor to the current-gen Ryzen Threadripper (non-PRO) 7000X "Storm Peak" series. In theory, next-gen HEDT models could be introduced at a later date. All leaked identifiers have featured "-5WX" affixes; denoting workstation deployments. Keen observers have not found products IPs ending with "-0X." InstLatX64's supplementary investigations seemed to confirm presences of the vast majority of recently disclosed next-wave product ranges—namely Ryzen 9000G "Gorgon Point" APUs and EPYC 4005 "Grado" CPUs. Another anomaly was discovered; the alleged Arm-based "Soundwave" SoC family was notably absent from Team Red's tech info repository.

Gigabyte also updated TRX50 BIOS pages with new UEFI for "next gen CPU" on April 24th, which points to Computex unveiling & release.

According to what's listed here, Asus Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WiFi will support both PRO and non-PRO Threadripper 9000 series.

I'm also hoping for new motherboards with the correct orientation of the CPU socket to support coolers like Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6.
