AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7955WX vs AMD Athlon Silver 7120C

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7955WX is a 16 core processor with a clock frequency of 4.50 GHz (5.30 GHz). The processor can compute 32 threads at the same time. The AMD Athlon Silver 7120C clocks with 2.40 GHz (3.50 GHz), has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 2 threads in parallel.

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to 2048 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7955WX, while the AMD Athlon Silver 7120C supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 44.0 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7955WX has a TDP of 350 W. The TDP of the AMD Athlon Silver 7120C is 15 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7955WX has 80.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 5 nm. The cache of AMD Athlon Silver 7120C is at 3.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 6 nm.
