AMD RYZEN™ THREADRIPPER™9000 WX-SERIES PROCESSORS CREATE WITHOUT THE WAIT Over the past five years, three interconnected trends have pushed the media and entertainment industry towards higher-endworkstations with a better balance between core counts, clock speed, and efficiency. First, 8K video has become more common,with more available cameras and increased interest in this video format for initial capture and editing. While consumer adoption Second, the VFX industry has somewhat shifted away from chroma key compositing, more colloquially known as “green screen,”and towards the use of virtual production environments. Where traditional green screens rely heavily on post-processing to addspecial effects, virtual production combines traditional cinematography with digital VFX and enormous, computer-generated LED volumes are driven by game engines, with tight connections between real-world physical cameras and their digital twins within thevirtual environment. Virtual production integrates VFX artists at every stage of production and relies on high-performance workstations Third, there’s the rise of artificial intelligence, and its rapid adoption into both cloud-based services and locally run applications.A number of AI-based tools are already available for video upscaling, denoising, and content creation, and there’s no sign this trendwill slow. While there are creative AI apps that run in the cloud, professional workstations are some of the only systems that field Any one of these trends would be enough to fuel the industry’s hunger for more processing horsepower. Combined, they explainwhy artists, editors, and cinematographers have recognized the revolutionary potential of AMD Threadripper PRO CPUs ever sincethey debuted in 2020. The AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 9000 WX-Series, launched in July 2025, builds on this earlier foundation A MULTIMEDIA MAESTRO AMD Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors scale up to 96 cores in a single socket and can reach maximum clock speedsof up to 5.4GHz. The WRX90 chipset provides up to 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and the new CPUs now support DDR5-6400 memory,a 23% improvement over the previous generation. The new “Zen 5” architecture, debuting in workstations for the first time, The performance advantages of these new workstation processors are anything but theoretical. Comparisons between thetop-end Xeon w9-3595X and its closest AMD equivalent, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9985WX, show decisive advantages The great strength of the AMD Threadripper PRO product family is its commanding performance across a range of applicationsrather than focusing on a single area. Its high core counts and clock speeds make it an ideal solution for highly parallel workloads andlightly threaded tasks. Its enormous array of PCIe 5.0 lanes deliver superior scaling when two or more GPUs share the same system, No creative professional wants to find their vision stymied by slow hardware, regardless of the industry they work in or the specificsoftware packages they use. AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors obviate this outcome, not with tricks orgimmicks, but with a relentless dedication to performance in every workload, project iteration, and peripheral, without exception.By doing so, AMD advances the entire media and entertainment industry, in all of the ways that people interact with it.
