AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X 24-Core sTR5 4.2/5.4GHz 128MB L3 DDR5 (Boxed)

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X is a high-end desktop (HEDT) processor from the Zen 5-based 9000 series, designed for professional workloads like 3D rendering, video editing, and scientific simulations. Featuring 24 cores and 48 threads, it delivers exceptional multi-threaded performance with a base clock of 4.2 GHz boosting to 5.4 GHz. Built on the sTR5 socket, it supports quad-channel DDR5 memory and 92 PCIe 5.0 lanes for massive expandability[5].

With a massive 128MB L3 cache and 350W TDP, the 9960X excels in benchmarks: Geekbench 6 single-core ~3,156, multi-core ~27,256; Cinebench scores up to 59,255 multi-core; CPU Mark 91,478. It outperforms prior-gen 7960X by 16-23% in content creation tasks while consuming up to 681W under heavy loads[2][3][6]. No integrated graphics requires a discrete GPU.

• Memory: DDR5 quad-channel up to 6400+ MT/s
• Unlocked for overclocking
• No cooler included (350W needs high-end AIO/liquid cooling)
• Ideal for workstations, not primary gaming
