In a nutshell: AMD’s Threadripper Pro 5000 workstation processors got here out earlier this 12 months as OEM exclusives. The firm lately introduced that they’d launch “later this 12 months” for DIY customers. However, an unnamed retailer from China has already began selling them for some eye-watering costs.
AMD lately introduced that it’ll launch its Threadripper Pro 5000 lineup for DIY customers later this 12 months, after being an OEM unique for months. A Chinese laptop {hardware} retailer appears to have jumped the gun, as they reportedly began selling the workstation CPUs to customers already.
The flagship 64-core 5995WX prices 47,000 CNY ($7,025), the 32-core 5975WX is available in at 24,000 CNY ($3,587), whereas the 24-core 5965WX retails for 17,200 CNY ($2,570). Interestingly, the retailer is not selling the 16-core 5955WX and 12-core 5945WX. AMD did not point out these SKUs in its DIY launch announcement both, which means that they won’t launch on the retail market.

For comparability, the previous-gen 64-core 3995WX had a really helpful worth of $5,489, whereas the 32-core 3975WX went for $2,749.
It’s value noting that AMD is but to announce the MSRPs of its Threadripper Pro 5000 CPUs. However, judging by what they are going for within the Chinese market, they are going to be far costlier than their predecessors. Unfortunately, there are no cheaper non-Pro Threadripper processors this era for individuals who do not want the added PCIe lanes and reminiscence bandwidth.
