Amd Fx Tm Six Core Processor

AMD Ryzen 3000 processors may come with up to sixteen cores inside

Earlier Ryzen 2nd Gen processors (CPUs) even launched, at that place were rumors of sixteen-cadre Ryzen 3000 CPUs, and a fresh leak from TUM_APISAK on Twitter (opens in new tab) supports that.

AMD's 3rd generation Ryzen processors (CPUs) are expected in the coming months, and their 7-nanometer (nm) Zen 2 architecture opens the door for more cores on every bit.

The details in the tweet mention an engineering science sample Zen 2 processor with 16 cores, a base clock of 3.3GHz and boost clock of 4.2GHz. The CPU is listed as using a motherboard with a X570 chipset. TUM_APISAK is a reliable source for hardware leaks, so this is a strong hint in favor of a Rzyen 3000 processor with 16 cores.

So far, AMD hasn't shown off a Ryzen CPU with that many cores. The Threadripper series has shown off 16-cadre CPUs, with some models offering substantially more than than that. Simply, with Threadripper tertiary Generation CPUs seemingly delayed until 2020 after they were removed from AMD's 2019 roadmap, the Ryzen 3rd Generation CPUs may be the high-core-count pick for this year.

Not exactly what we were expecting

This isn't the first time we've seen rumors of 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 3000 CPUs. And, equally AMD has shown a consistent drive to offer ever-increasing cadre counts, it feels almost inevitable that Ryzen 3rd Generation CPUs volition get 12- and- xvi-cadre variants.

Just, this latest leak doesn't exactly line upwardly with some of the detailed leaks we've seen earlier. We'd seen suggestions that AMD would release the following Ryzen processors:

Ryzen 9 3850X: 16-cores, 32-threads, clocked at four.3GHz to 5.1GHz
Ryzen 9 3800X: 16-cores, 32-threads, clocked at 3.9GHz to 4.7GHz

At that place's a considerable difference in speeds between these processors and the engineering sample found by TUM_APISAK. So, the question is whether the engineering sample will be representative of of the speeds of the consumer models, or if it simply has lower clocks considering information technology's an engineering sample.

Speeds aside, the likelihood of Ryzen CPUs with increased core counts just seems that much more likely every bit another frequent leaker, Jim@AdoredTV, responded to TUM_APISAK's tweet (opens in new tab) all but confirming the findings and suggesting a faster 12-cadre model.

At present, we but have to expect and see what AMD CEO Lisa Su has to say at the AMD Computex 2019 keynote, as Ryzen 3000 CPUs and Navi GPUs are both expected.
