AMD's prosumer CPU — between Ryzen and EPYC, aimed at 3D rendering, compilation, and AI tinkering.
Up to 96 cores (Threadripper 7995WX, 2023). Huge motherboard, 8-channel RAM, tons of PCIe lanes (128+) — so you can plug in four GPUs plus several NVMe drives without splitting bandwidth. Price: $5000+ for the top SKU. Bought by VFX studios, Blender users, and people training small LLMs at home.
