- How does the 7995WX compare with the 7985WX?
- The 7995WX has 96 cores versus 64 on the 7985WX, plus more cache. It is the better pick only if your software scales past 64 threads; otherwise the 7985WX is easier to cool.
- Does it fit a regular Threadripper motherboard?
- No. It uses the sTR5 socket on WRX90 boards, not the TRX50 platform used by the consumer Threadripper 7000 chips. WRX90 also gives you 8-channel memory and the full PCIe lane set.
- What memory does it support?
- Eight channels of DDR5, with registered DIMMs and capacities up to 2 TB on WRX90 boards. Check your motherboard's qualified memory list before buying kits.
- How much cooling does it need?
- A large air cooler or a 360 mm or bigger liquid cooler is the practical minimum. All-core loads push power and heat high, so case airflow matters too.
- Is it worth it over a Xeon W-3400?
- For heavily multithreaded rendering, simulation and compilation it generally leads or matches the top Xeon W chips, with more memory bandwidth. If your apps are lightly threaded, neither platform is a good value.
- What is in the box?
- The processor only. You need a WRX90 motherboard, a sTR5-compatible cooler, DDR5 RDIMM memory and a power supply sized for sustained high loads.
