Ryzen 3's release date and specifications have been announced

Is this AMD's i3 killer?



Read more on AMD's Ryzen 3 lineup.

Meh still no prices. That makes me a sad panda

I think it's fair to say Intel may be retiring their I3 series quite soon, though.

Are they sticking to a single CCX with the Ryzen 3s?

The Ryzen 5 1400 sticks to a single CCX, so Ryzen 3 is expected to do the same.

In the Ryzen Pro 3 series, both CPUs are also listed with 8MB of L3 cache, which also supports the single CCX theory.

You have proof of this? Because they said they are splitting cores across CCXs. 3 on one 3 on another. 2 on one etc.

Although I don't dispute Ryzen 3. They could just go to one ccx.

The R5 1400 only has 8MB of cache, CPUs that use two CCXs have 16MB.

1400 above, 1500X below.

If they can clock to above 4GHz they are gonna be killer gaming CPUs for people on a budget. If not they will still be good though.

After further research, I was right. Has nothing to do with cache. AMD simply disables the cache and cores. They are ONLY disabling pairs of cores. Core 3 and Core 7. Which is the last core on either CCX and in the case of the 1400, they also take out Core 2/6

Yeah, you are right, as otherwise why would CPU-Z say 2x 4MB of L2 cache and not just 8MB.
Facepalm.

Now I just feel silly....
