Ryzen 3000 Series CPU Specifications Leak

Will be very interesting if true, especially at those prices.

If true, AMD are really going to gain market share faster than they are now.
 
6c/12t @ 50W @ $99 in a month? I really can't see it happening.
If AMD do offer 2 die configs for Ryzen3000 I think they'll still stick with one Core die for 8C or lower to keep latency, costs and power consumption down. With 7nm being such a fresh node we wouldn't expect it to launch with the weakest bins still being 75%+ enabled(6c), that or these are proposed to be two dies with one CCX enabled in either and one core disabled in either, but that's setup to play havoc with non NUMA aware software, especially games.
Personally I think 4c/8t will be the new Ryzen3 tier, with 6c/12th being Ryzen 5, 8c/16t being Ryzen 7, with 12c/24t and 16c/32t being Ryzen 9 or 7X or something.
Ryzen 3/5/7 will be a Core die + IO die, Ryzen 9 will be 2 Core dies + IO die, while Ryzen G will be Core + GPU + IO chips, with the GPU basically being an RX460 Navi equivalent.

I'm curious if we are going to find problems working with older boards like the X370 series.


All depends on how good the VRM setup is on the older boards, Unless there's some actual tangible benefit to running the 3850X on an X570 I'll be sticking to my X470.

Highly doubt all of this will be true but if it is then dayumm!! AMD will be bringing it.
 
That spec sheet should be labelled NSFW
Seriously though, 16C32T on AM4 will be incredible. Does explain why most X470 boards have 2x8 pin EPS or 1x4 Pin EPS + 1x8 Pin EPS
 
Hmm. Whilst I do understand the "This is not true" brigade something makes me think otherwise.

OK, just from a very optimistic stance here.. So AMD said when Ryzen was launched that it was very efficient in a "making it" sense. And thus, it was very cheap to make. Therefore, if the die shrinks you get more onto the die for the same coin.

OK look yeah, let's put it like this. What would you rather do? sell some one one CPU @ $800, or, sell them three equally sized slices of silicon @ $500 a pop knowing they are going to buy all three?

They are not having the difficulties of Intel (all hail Jim Keller) and nor are they having the costs associated with those difficulties (all hail Jim Keller) because Ryzen is an incredible design. Most of Intel's money they've been taking over the past decade since AMD stopped being competitive was to compete with themselves, and look how well it has worked out from a shrink perspective. It hasn't, in years. That comes at a massive cost.

Clocks could be a 1 core boost. Never base anything on those..

So yes, whilst it could all be total BS I am just putting the other side out there. It seems AMD are happy to let us have "all the cores" at a set range pricing. So in other words? I can't see them charging more than they have charged for an 1800x no matter how many extra cores they manage to cram into a 7nm die space.
 
5.1Ghz could be possible given it's just a boost clock, you'd think that cross 16 cores and 2 dies with all cores being able to hit about 4.6Ghz minimum(Which roughly lines up with TSMC & AMDs 7nm expectations) presumably(For XFR and the like) there'd generally be at least one core on there that could hit 5.1Ghz for abit if you dumped a good chunk of your power budget into it (IE You had one single threaded high demand workload, like with most DX9/10/early 11 era games). If Intel continue to 10-cores then AMD will probably have to respond with 16 to solidly gain the performance crown on mainstream platforms so it makes sense they'd consider it, and it'd make sense if Threadripper follows Epyc to 64C counts. They could sell it for Threadripper 16C prices and still have offered a large drop in price due to the mainstream platforms + motherboards + memory recommendations being hundreds of £ cheaper, while still differentiating between the TR parts with PCIe lanes, memory channels & top TDP.

But this leaks still seems to have some holes in it, I don't think we'll be starting at two-die systems or 6C/12T systems and the pricing seems crazy optimistic.

You know Jim Keller currently works at Intel right? An excellent designer but he doesn't have much to do with Intel's 10nm woes, Ryzen is very strong but AMD's also got lucky that Intel have had so many issues, credit to Lisa Su and co too for capitalising on it so well.

Yup. They hired him because they were tired of spunking money down a hole on their shrink.

He's a free spirit, does what he wants to do when he feels like it. Fair play.
 
Supposedly. I find it hard to believe, but I'd actually be interested in upgrading my PC again if it's true.

Not really hard to believe, The 1800X launched around March 2017, The 2700X launched around April 2018 so the 3850X launching around May is very possible.

No, I mean the specifications of the 3850X. May 2019 sounds about right for a release date of whatever AMD have with Zen 2, but a 16c CPU with a 5.1Ghz boost on one core at $500, that sounds too good to be true.

Ahh right, I can see the core count being true but not the clock speed, Maybe 4.5GHz on 1 or 2 cores, But as long as I can get 4GHz solid on all cores then for me it's a winner.
