> The Pro 9000 WX-Series processors are also designed for local AI deployments, including fine-tuning models, inference, and AI application development. “When running a context-based prompting inference test using DeepSeek R1 32B, we are seeing a 49 percent better performance of Threadripper Pro 9000 over Intel,” claims AMD.

Are they using the CPU as a GPU here?

Pricing is disappointing - no cheaper than the existing AMD server equivalent Epyc Turin 9655 ($11.5k for 96 cores). https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/server/epyc/9005-...

Significantly worse price/core than the earlier Threadripper 64 core 3990x for $3900.

Just curious, are the older versions just... gone? It seems their availability is quite limited.

Also, does Intel have something comparable?

Not for the last 7 years.
