AMD Ryzen CPU with 12 Cores and 24 Threads Spotted

It would be the other way around actually.

Software is designed to run on hardware.

Hardware is not designed to ensure compatibility with software.

So VMWare needs to fix ESXi to run on Ryzen. (Which of course they will)

Maybe. I have had interesting convos with some big companies on Ryzen over the last few weeks and none have any roadmap to support Ryzen atm. All said it could change, but as of now, they barely have an eye on it. Especially in the enterprise space. Time will tell.

So for this 12c AMD part, is it most likely a cutdown version of a 16c? Say 4 CCX's with 1 core disabled in each CCX?
