Full description and specifications

Sixty-four cores and 256MB of L3 — the top of the non-PRO Threadripper range.

Quick Specs

  • 64 cores / 128 threads, 3.2GHz base, up to 5.1GHz boost
  • 320MB total cache (64MB L2 + 256MB L3)
  • 350W TDP, sTR5 socket, quad-channel DDR5-5200 with ECC
  • PCIe 5.0, 92 lanes total (88 usable)
  • No cooler included

When the render queue is the business

One hundred and twenty-eight threads changes how a studio works: overnight renders become lunchtime renders, and simulation passes that used to be scheduled become interactive. The 7980X pairs that with 256MB of L3 cache and quad-channel ECC memory, so large scenes and datasets stay fed. Eighty-eight usable PCIe 5.0 lanes let you hang multiple GPUs and a serious storage array off one machine without any of them being throttled.

A 350W part with a 3.2GHz base

Two things to be clear about. The base clock is 3.2GHz — under an all-core load this chip is about aggregate throughput, not per-core speed, so lightly threaded applications will feel slower than on a 7970X. And cooling 350W across sixty-four cores demands a proper sTR5 solution and a case built for airflow; nothing is supplied. If your pipeline doesn't genuinely saturate this many cores, the 7970X is the better-balanced buy.

FEATURES:

  • 64C/128T for the heaviest render and simulation workloads
  • 256MB L3 cache
  • Quad-channel DDR5-5200 with ECC enabled by default
  • 88 usable PCIe 5.0 lanes for multi-GPU and NVMe arrays
  • Fully unlocked for overclocking

Questions

Before you buy

Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the sTR5 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
64 cores and 128 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 350W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
