AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[EsaT]

I thought it was more to do with it running at its advertised speed more than anything.

i.e. you might buy some 3200mhz micron/Hynix based memory, but you may only get it to run at 2933Mhz, but if you buy 3200Mhz Samsung b-die memory, you can basically guarantee it will run at that advertised 3200Mhz

Let's hope Zen2's memory controller improves that.

Lunch date is July 7th, what type of spec list are you looking for? The CPUs are up on AMD's site for their specs, and many motherboards are on their manufacturer sites also with their specs.

Thanks, I will take a look.

Will we find out at E3 which is the best CPU for gaming? or will we need to wait for reviews?
Lisa made it very clear the 3800x was the best gaming chip. But then others have suggested that the 3900x or 16 core will be faster.
I want the best gaming CPU so will need to know before purchase.

Literally only on this forum that B-die is a talked about thing at all.
Bit suspicious that OCUK sells specific b die ram for ryzen at an inflated price no?

B-die is well renowned for supporting higher frequencies and lower latencys with ryzen. It's talked about well beyond this forum and is recognised just about everywhere as the best ram for ryzen and is sold everywhere as that. Just a shame they stopped production

 

[Ross Thomson]

Given the ryzen 5 is 6 core, 7 is 8 core and 9 is 12 core, will the 16 core be called ryzen 11?

 

[JRS]

Just in other enthusiast forums it isnt a thing at all. Not a consideration.

Sure. Apart from, you know, all those other enthusiast forums (and Reddit) where it's a thing

It was on Reddit where they decided to make the B-die finder, and it doesn't link to OcUK, it links to part picker sites in the USA and google to look up the RAM.

I'm more interested in how they'll brand the model number. Isn't much space between 3900X and 4xxx. 3999X maybe? 3950 just seems like a moderate clock bump, not an extra 4 cores/8 threads. Unless they think/know they have the market sewn up and don't want to launch it until Zen 2+ in 2020.

3950? and/or 3950X? years of AMD, what a celebration

 

[Scougar]

3999XS ?

 

[Potatowithearsontheside]

Any news on Nvidia's attempts to trademark numbers?

could be a throw back to the 1 GHz race and call it the Thunderbird

Just go full troll and call it the 8008. Or the 9900X

or the "A" probably get apple trying to sue them over that one though.

 

[humbug]

3999XS ?

Good one

Having said that HArdware Unboxed put out a video saying they would be surprised to see a 16 core this gen. They think they are saving it for Zen2+ (Ryzen 4000)

Said this months ago. Literally no point in cannibalising their 16 core Threadrippers and why blow your entire load at once?

This seems to say that everything that gigabyte said about b450 and x470 boards enabling PICEX 4.0 is not happening, anyone know anything, thoughts e.t.c ?

Might as well when you can reload quickly the yearly tick tock, assuming Zen 2+ is as on track as Zen+ was, it won't matter about cannibalising a tiny market (which itself will probably get 64c soon enough)
