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

AMDPower said:
obviously amd are going to release 3000 series Threadripper and I think i will wait for those but I cant seem to find what those boards will be called, X499?

what chipset will they use? sorry not kept up with the discussion for a while.

Threadripper 3000's should work on the same TR4 socket with a BIOS update. So essentially the Zenith will still be fine for the new CPU's. Think it'll get a board refresh to X499 though and have some new goodies on top.

Thanks for that. I was trying to find out if there is going to be a X399 refresh to X499 or whatever this year, but there is no talk on this. All i see is news for X570 and nothing about threadripper. I think i will wait for threadripper as i need the expansion ports.

That last year made engineering sample matching 9900K at lot lower power consumption hints good for clocks and performance.
Unlike current GloFo made chips which just don't clock high.

It might be getting X570 motherboards ready which is causing some hold up.

Though Asrock is apparently getting ready:

Hope they just don't user that assthetic plastic garbage to sabotage VRM cooling...

This is the other problem actually. Even if X570 boards and Ryzen 3 chips come out in June, I'll still have to wait a while for proper testing on the motherboards. I am not going to buy one that has crap VRMs or cooling at the expense of tacky plastic shrouds if I want it to last a long time.

Think we've ran out of discussion topics for this. CMON MORE LEAKS!!!

I don't think there's anything left to leak.

We saw an 8 core ES match the 9900K with visible space available on the package to accommodate a 2nd chiplet, which confirms the feasibility of the leaked core counts and SKUs.
The frequency and IPC uplift used in the CES demo has been reverse calculated as near as possible which confirms the feasibility of the leaked speeds.
PCIe Gen4 is confirmed.
Some level of PCIe Gen4 support on 300- and 400-series boards is confirmed as technically possible, but up to vendors to issue a BIOS update if they want.

So short of confirmation of the 3850X as the 16-core, 5.1GHz boost 50th Anniversary monster, I don't think there's actually anything further to leak; we kinda know everything and just missing official details.


Personally I want to know if we'll get desktop APUs with a Zen2 CPU chiplet and a Navi GPU chiplet, but that will require Navi to be an officially announced and discussed thing first, and with the rumoured setback in September I think I'm going to be waiting a loooong time :p

Dont think we're gonna be hearing much.. Until Cex rumours start spicing up anyway

For some reason that just made me think of Kim Kardashian doing a special home cex video on zen. Like the one that propelled her to fame, but better. She’d blow it, air cooling...
 
I did see some comments suggesting that only the 8 cores will be initially available. That would be a big disappointment if true. I really wanted to get at least a 12c 3xxx.
 
12C is the one i'm after too. If i'm upgrading from a 2700X I want more cores at the same time :D
