AMD's 64-Core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7985X Gets Tested on Boulder Gulch Platform​

..so it is not surprising that the company's partners are testing the company's codenamed 'Boulder Gulch' platform along with a 64-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7985X processor.

Wrong. That's not the platform name. That is an AMD’s reference and validation/TEST board, dubbed internally as BoulderGulch-STP.

The actual platform name is “Storm Peak”.

Truth to be told, we still do not know for sure which socket AMD's next-generation Ryzen Threadripper Pro CPUs adopt, but we can speculate that it is going to use a socket derived from SP6 for EPYC 'Siena' processors

That's again not correct. It will use 6096 SP5 Socket for PRO series. AMD's SP6 socket is named as LGA4844 for HEDT SKUs.

So the HEDT chips are said to be compatible with LGA 4844 (SP6) motherboards while the WS chips are expected to be compatible with the SP5 socket (LGA 6096).

Does this means we will again see normal Threadrippers (not PRO) with more decent prices?
Or will AMD still get stuck with the PRO line at staggering workstation prices while Intel supposedly is entering HEDT again?

No. AMD will release PRO series in the WS/Workstation segment, Threadripper series. Considering that this leak featured a Pro chip supporting an 8-channel DDR5 memory config, it is likely we are looking at the WS platform.

The standard HEDT chips will likely not feature the "Pro" branding. They will come without PRO branding, unlike the WS processor series.

Not what I asked lol.

I wanted to know if there was any confirmed information that standard THREADRIPPERS would be out (aka non pro).
Since Intel is coming back to the HEDT market. Which made AMD complacent.

Lol, okay I misunderstood your question. Yes, AMD non-pro processors are back.

AMD said earlier that they wanted to "simplify the platform" and would only develop Threadripper Pro CPUs, so we shouldn't expect to see a vanilla Threadripper 5000 lineup like we did with 2019's 3000 and previous generations.

However, according to a new leak things look different.

A well known leaker, Momomo_US, actually leaked a listing that confirms two upcoming AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 CPU families/ZEN 4.

We first have the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7900 CPUs as listed under the "79x5WX" family for workstation PCs, and the Ryzen Threadripper 7900 CPUs as the "79x0X" family for HEDT PCs.

So it appears that future workstation PCs will be catered for with AMD's PRO "79x5WX" family, and HEDT systems will be best served by non-PRO "79x0X" variants.

I can't wait to see more information leaked.
Will we still see 4 channel vs 8 channel of PRO models vs normal HEDT models?
I wonder..

What about the 96 core 7995WX tho?
