AMD Ryzen Threadripper
AMD Ryzen Threadripper is AMD’s brand of multi-core x86-64 processors for the high-end desktop (HEDT) and workstation segments, based on successive generations of the Zen microarchitecture (Zen, Zen+, Zen 2, Zen 3, Zen 4, Zen 5). The line debuted on 10 August 2017.
Threadripper offers from 8 to 64 cores, while the professional Threadripper PRO variant offers from 12 to 96 cores (up to 192 threads). The latest generations — 7000 (Storm Peak, Zen 4) and 9000 (Shimada Peak, Zen 5) — use the sTR5 socket and the TRX50 (HEDT) and WRX90 (workstation PRO) chipsets. The flagship Threadripper PRO 9995WX has 96 cores / 192 threads, 384 MB of L3 cache and a 350 W TDP.
The processors support DDR5 memory (DDR5-5200; quad-channel on HEDT, eight-channel with ECC on PRO) and the PCIe 5.0 bus (up to 48 PCIe 5.0 lanes). In robotics and autonomous systems, Threadripper serves as the compute unit in workstations for AI model training and inference, simulation, sensor-data processing and rendering.

Which group AMD Ryzen Threadripper belongs to and how it is built
Desktop and workstation CPUs are high-core-count, socketed x86 chips for powerful desktop PCs and professional workstations. In robotics and autonomous systems they act as the high-level compute unit in workstations used for AI model training and inference, simulation and data processing.
A high-core-count socketed x86 processor (e.g. the sTR5 socket) for desktop PCs and workstations. It integrates CPU cores, a DDR5 memory controller (with ECC support in professional variants) and numerous PCIe lanes. Unlike mobile (BGA) processors and SoCs, it is replaceable in the motherboard socket.
