Product overview
Released October 29, 2018, the Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX is a 2nd‑Gen (Zen+, “Colfax”) Threadripper for the sTR4/TR4 platform. It carries 24 cores and 48 threads at 3.0/4.2 GHz, a 250 W TDP, quad‑channel DDR4‑2933 support, and 64 PCIe 3.0 lanes; integrated graphics are not included. Designed for X399 motherboards.
Positioned as a workstation‑tier HEDT CPU, it exists to deliver far more multi‑threaded throughput than mainstream desktops for creators and power users. It’s well‑suited to 3D rendering, video editing, and heavy content‑creation pipelines, and it’s unlocked for overclocking via Precision Boost Overdrive. Notably, the 2970WX (and 2990WX) added AMD’s Dynamic Local Mode to migrate threads to cores with local memory access to reduce NUMA penalties.
