The price of the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs have just been announced, and you’re going to need a very big budget to afford them. The prices start as “low” as $1,649 for the 16-core 9955WX, but AMD’s top-end Threadripper Pro 9995WX CPU, with a huge 96 cores, will cost a whopping $11,699 to purchase.
These are the first Threadripper CPUs that AMD has released in several years, but it doesn’t look like AMD is changing its approach for them. Enormous core counts are what Threadrippers are all about, along with fairly big price tags, although $11,699 makes the 9995WX one of the most expensive desktop CPUs you can buy. However, they’re unlikely to join our best gaming CPU guide any time soon, unless those 3D V-Cache Threadripper rumors become true.
