> 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?
Significantly worse price/core than the earlier Threadripper 64 core 3990x for $3900.
Also, does Intel have something comparable?
Not for the last 7 years.
