A shipping manifest has been circulating on the internet after one of its documents revealed information about a possible AMD Threadripper 9000. Also known by the codename “Shimada Peak”, the component had some of its details revealed, such as the count of 96 Zen 5 cores.
It’s the same number of cores present in the last iteration of Threadripper, but this time the architecture goes from Zen 4 to Zen 5. The folks at TechPowerUp point out that we will then see 8 cores per CCD (Core Chiplet Design).
The fact that a Threadripper 9000 has been circulated and this shipping documentation is being generated doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll see an official announcement for the processor soon. In fact, AMD is expected to talk about some of its products in October, but the list only mentions the Ryzen AI 300 Pro, Epyc Turin, and the MI325X Instinct. After that, the next big event won’t be until January – CES.
Meanwhile, AMD has not commented on the Threadripper models of its HEDT-focused processors. A roadmap leak from last year suggests we won’t see the “Shimada Peak” models until 2025.
As we know, AMD’s Ryzen 9000 generation of Zen 5-based processors didn’t exactly excel in gaming performance. The new architecture, however, has performed well in more work-oriented functions, such as Machine Learning and HPC and database processing.

As such, the Threadripper 9000 could end up drawing attention as an alternative to the Epyc for professional use. The 96-core count, by the way, is the same as the Epyc 9654, which led the series last year.
Speaking of the Epyc, these have been appearing in several leaks. With more than 120 Zen 5 cores, the Epyc 9755 has even had benchmark results released recently.
