AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***
- Thread starter Jamin280672
- Start date
SOURCE????
If those specs leaked are true then a 16 core / 5Ghz part is entirely possible. Absolutely no reason (other than thread ripper) they wouldn't release it.

I'll seriously be balls deep in that if those specs/prices are accurate.
Will re purpose the current rig to replace my HTPC/lounge gamer as that's seriously struggling now. I need a decent lounge gamer as the missus works from home quite often on my flexi-days off
Thats literally not true. EVERY single leak I've seen regarding next gen consoles suggest they will be 8 core systems.
Cache sizes are wrong.
Clocks taken from AdoredTV leak.
Just a placeholder to draw google searches of impatient geeks.
You work for AMD? Tell us more.
Ryzen 3000 series available from the 2nd week of June.
Not 100% on this as I didn't hear it from the main source, but our buyers had a meeting with one of the bigger EMEA disti's yesterday afternoon and was told with a good level of certainty that there would be availability of some SKU's in June. I've asked nicely for them to confirm it with one of our main Taiwan suppliers as they'll be giving us news about the boards soon as well, and obviously will have had access to the hardware already. I know that we have some projects already lined up, and testing/validation requests have already been put in place to get this done as soon they are landed, hence I guess that is why anyone asked about the timelines.
Going to speak with the engineering team in a bit, to see if they know more as a few of them are in to PC's too.

There's still a bit of a question on the die layouts. Will the 8c/16t versions be a single die or two? If the former, they may well end up performing faster in some cases.

Except we already know that the PS5 is using an eight core.
AMD have stated that the µOP cache has been enlarged (to what they've not said), the size of the cache on Zen was 2,048 entries (2MB per core), each entry is one addressable memory location so technically they could've increased those without increasing the amount of cache but that would mean the memory would be divided rather oddly (IIRC most memory typically address 1024 byte sections at a time).

And it will be around 1-2GHz slower
Ye well where are the good leaks? Still nothing really that is close to confirming clock speeds.Ryzen 3000 series available from the 2nd week of June.

No

And 16MB L3 per CCX was confirmed in userbenchmark leaks
Indeed, although there was nothing much in the way of confirming clocks for Zen or Zen+ until a couple of weeks before launch, and most of them were wrong. Distribution channels are setup well before launch, and semi-rough dates are given to ensure smooth delivery to channel partners etc, and the specifications for the most part are irrelevant as they will be selling whatever is on offer from the company (AMD in this case).
Things like this are not unusual we have regularly have things like new HDD's listed on our internal system sometimes 2-3 months before they are even able to be ordered or confirmed on the manufacturers website, so you can't get the datasheets which means you can't order it, DOH!
