Notes: AMD officially lists Windows 11 64-bit, Windows 10 64-bit, RHEL x86 64-bit and Ubuntu x86 64-bit for this processor. Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 supported-processor list predates the Threadripper 9000 Series and does not name it, while the 25H2 list names the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series; no separate 26H2 list has been published, so the 25H2 status is carried over. Fedora and Arch run on Zen 5 with mainline kernels.
