Threadripper 9000 CPUs spotted with 16 to 96 Zen 5 cores — Shimada Peak expected to max out at 350W

The upcoming Threadripper 9000 series, codenamed Shimada Peak, has leaked yet again through shipping manifest data (via @Olrak29_ on X).

A different shipping manifest outed the Zen 5-powered high-end desktop CPUs in significant detail back in August. The latest manifest reveals a couple of previously unknown points about the soon-to-be-released CPUs.

The absence of a model with more than 96 cores may also indicate that there will be no Zen 5c-based Threadripper 9000 CPUs. That isn’t entirely surprising since the c-variant Zen cores are mainly intended for cloud servers where massive cores are more important than per-core prowess. Zen 4c likely skipped the Threadripper 7000 series for that reason, and given that the HEDT market’s needs haven’t changed since the 7000 series, it’s unlikely AMD would suddenly start offering Zen 5c Threadrippers.

    A 16c 350W TDP CPU might allow for 5.7GHz all-core boost and a 5GHz base. Heck they might go old school with that and just give is a static 5.7GHz clock speed with ability to down clock when idle.
