Our take on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX Desktop Processor

The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX is a 16-core, 32-thread workstation chip on AMD's Zen 3 architecture, built for the sWRX8 platform. Its defining feature is 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, which lets a single CPU feed multiple GPUs, fast NVMe arrays and networking cards without a chipset bottleneck. It runs at 4.0 GHz base and 4.5 GHz boost with a 280W TDP and needs a large cooler, since none is included. Against the 32-core 5975WX it trades core count for higher clocks, and against the 5950X it costs more but adds the lane count and 8-channel memory that heavy workstation builds need.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the 5955WX as a workstation part and praise its lane count and steady multi-core performance. Many note the platform cost and cooling demands, and some say the 32-core 5975WX is the better buy for heavy rendering.

What people mention
  • PCIe lanesPraisedOwners value the 128 lanes for running several GPUs and fast drives at full speed.
  • Heat and coolingCriticisedThe 280W TDP means big air or liquid cooling is required, and some find it runs hot.
  • Platform costCriticisedBuyers say sWRX8 motherboards and memory make the total build expensive.
  • Multi-core speedPraisedRendering and simulation workloads finish quickly and consistently.
  • Core countMixedSome say the 32-core 5975WX is worth it for heavy rendering, while others find 16 cores enough.

Questions and answers

Do I need a special motherboard for the 5955WX?
Yes. It uses the sWRX8 socket, so it only fits Threadripper PRO motherboards. Standard AM4 or TR4 boards will not work.
Does it come with a cooler?
No. It ships as the processor only, and its 280W TDP calls for a large air or liquid cooler rated for the sWRX8 socket.
Is it good for gaming?
It games fine, but the high clocks and lane count are wasted on gaming. A mainstream desktop chip gives similar frame rates for far less.
How does it compare with the 5975WX?
The 5975WX has twice the cores for heavy rendering and virtual machines. The 5955WX has higher clocks and suits GPU-heavy builds that do not need 32 cores.
Does it support ECC memory?
This model is listed without ECC support, so plan on non-ECC DDR4 in 8-channel configurations.
What is in the box?
The boxed processor only. No cooler, no thermal paste beyond what is pre-applied, and no mounting hardware for sWRX8 coolers.
Where is the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX Desktop Processor cheapest?
At Newegg, for $849.99, 37% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX Desktop Processor?
6 stores we checked sell it, including Walmart, Newegg, Quill, Antonline, Best Buy.
