AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X vs AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX are both desktop processors listed on PassMark CPU Benchmarks. This page sets their benchmark scores, estimated prices, and specifications side by side using the same source data for both, so the figures are directly comparable.

Both list the sTR5 socket, so swapping between them may not require a new motherboard. Confirm the exact model on the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list, including the minimum BIOS version.

Single-core scores describe one thread; multicore scores describe aggregate CPU throughput. These results do not establish which CPU is faster in every application. Compare platform support and total upgrade cost before buying.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X lists sTR5; AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX lists sTR5. Check the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements. If the required platform changes, include motherboard, memory and cooling costs; the CPU price alone is not the full upgrade cost.

Sources and data freshness

The retrieval date records when Find Me a CPU collected the source data. It is not a benchmark test date. Prices are USD estimates from the source, converted for other currencies, rather than live retailer offers. Release / first seen means the CPU first appeared on PassMark charts, not necessarily its launch date.

Benchmark scores do not predict frame rates in a particular game. Typical TDP is a specification, not measured electricity use. A matching socket does not confirm motherboard support; check the manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements.
