  • VRLA Tech workstation is first to ship with AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX
  • System is built on ASUS WRX90E board with 128GB ECC memory and 1TB NVMe storage

The first workstation powered by AMD’s new Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX processor has gone on sale, and it comes not from a major PC maker, but from California-based custom builder VRLA Tech.

The VRLA Tech AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro Workstation is available with a choice of processors from the Pro 9000 WX-Series, including AMD’s top-tier 9995WX.

Built on the 4nm Zen 5 architecture, the 9995WX features 96 cores and 192 threads, with a 2.75GHz base clock and boost speeds up to 5.1GHz. It includes 384MB of L3 cache and supports 8-channel DDR5-6400 ECC RDIMM memory.

Highly customizable

The default configuration, priced at $20,334.97, pairs the CPU with an ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE motherboard. This board supports up to 1TB of DDR5 memory and provides 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes for add-in cards such as graphics, storage, or networking components.

The unit comes equipped with 128GB of DDR5-5600 ECC RAM, using eight 16GB modules.

For storage, it includes a 1TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.

Additional drive slots provide space for future expansion. Graphics are handled by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB of memory in the standard build.

The system is powered by a 1600W 80 Plus Platinum power supply and housed in a black Fractal Design Define 7 XL case.

Cooling is managed by a high-performance liquid CPU cooler and Noctua case fans.

The workstation ships with Windows 11 Pro but you can save money by opting for Linux if you prefer, and includes all necessary drivers pre-installed.

The configuration can be customized prior to purchase. Options include up to three high-end GPUs, including workstation-class cards such as the Nvidia RTX 6000 Ada.

The system also supports a range of NVMe and SATA storage options and additional networking cards, but of course that will crank up the cost considerably. Add all the bells and whistles and price skyrockets to an eye-watering $55,113.90.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat. Borrowing EV technology for data center evolution The shift to 400VDC power distribution marks a decisive break from legacy sy...

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...

The Samsung Galaxy Ring could go into production as soon as next month

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support With the dust beginning to settle from the huge Samsung Unpacked 2023 event, we can turn our attention towards what Samsung might have planned next: and a smart ring seems to be in the company's near future. As per a report from South Korean outlet The Elec (via SamMobile ), mass production on a Samsung Galaxy Ring could begin as early as August, with a decision imminent on the schedule for getting the wearable manufactured and out to consumers. A full launch is slated for some point during 2024 though, rather than 2023. The nature of the device means that it'll need to clear several regulatory hurdles before it can go on sale and start tracking various vital statistics. An early 2024 launch would put the Galaxy Ring on a similar schedule to the Samsung Galaxy S24 – and it would therefore make sense to launch both gadgets at the same time, perhaps in January or February if Samsung follows its 2023 routine. The story so far Rumors ar...
