Damn I hope this is legit, sure would like to have 5Ghz on that 16 core though!

"Some online webstores from Vietnam and Turkey have started listing AMD's 3000 series CPUs based on the Zen 2 architecture. The present company stands at a Ryzen 9 3800X, Ryzen 7 3700X, and Ryzen 5 3600X, and the specs on these are... Incredible, to say the least.

The Ryzen 9 3800X is being listed with 32 threads, meaning a base 16-core processor. Clock speeds are being reported as 3.9 GHz base with up to 4.7 GHz Turbo on both a Turkish and Vietnamese etailer's webpages. The Turkish Store then stands alone in listing AMD's Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, which is reported as having 12 cores, 24 threads, and operating at an extremely impressive 4.2 GHz base and 5.0 GHz Boost clocks. Another listing by the same website, in the form of the Ryzen 5 3600X, details the processor as having 8 physical cores and running at 4.0 GHz base and 4.8 Boost clocks."

I have a hard time believing those numbers but if they hold true and there's even a modest IPC improvement I see myself swapping out my 2700X for a 3700x.
 
Same numbers from the leaks from a few months ago...curious

Or cause and effect. They are just using the "leak" info as a placeholder. It also gets them press to have this "information" early.
 
If accurate it's slightly better than most predictions which have been conservative. I'll be getting one on launch if so lol.
 
Sheet my threadripper 12/24 are pretty new ( in my machine ) but if the AMD guys drop something really interesting like a new 16/32 or 24/48 threadripper at a nice price, and my piggy bank would be in trouble.

They have a number of contractual obligations regarding the Threadrippers. If they do discontinue the line there will be problems, unless they replace it with something like the Epyc W series (W for Workstation) that happens to use the same socket.
 
I am tired of leaks, I just need the chips already, I am tired of delaying my build and I want it finished already!!!

With you on this.. Just release the CPUs so I can pick out my upgrade and get on with it. I just want a 9900k or equivalent for roughly $329 (where the 9900k should have been priced). I'd anticipate the 3700x would launch for MORE money than the 9900k if the 12c / 5ghz boost is true. Show me the $300 chips!

Would be nice if a new low end EPYC would be electrically compatible with the TR4 socket just to simplify product lines.

Poor AMD, everyone wants to support them but only if they are discount priced, run at 5Ghz base w/air cooling and they have 25% moar cores.
Why does anyone think they are gonna get Intel equivalent performance at a huge discount. Those days are gone.

I didn't say that AMD has to be cheaper. If the 3600x is an 8 core / 16 thread that clocks a bit higher than a 2700x with a higher IPC in the $300-350 ballpark, then it's an instant buy for me. I don't need the absolute top end if what I want can come in mid-range. 9900k is priced high because it can be, competition is going to drive that straight down soon.

My point was in fact the exact opposite, everybody is expecting a 16c/32t ryzen core that can boost to 5ghz to drop for $300, we both know that won't happen.
 
If their HEDT products track the "leak" predictions evolution, my 1950x might be relegated to Plex duty. And that's just nuts.
 
The 3800x or 3850x may be my first AMD CPU ever... yup, I didn't start building PCs until Conroe.

Funny time to join considering the point of your post. Before Conroe Intel had nothing that could even come close to the Athlon 64. I mean abysmal performance in comparison. Pentium D vs Athlon 64 X2 was even worse.

On topic I sure would like to see these CPUs come to fruition for competition sake, but I'm still reserving any excitement for such a beast!

Just got to be patient, some of us have waited years for 7nm Zen.
Besides ddr4 is dropping like a rock as well as ssd.
 
Doesn't matter to me what the leaks or rumors are because they're irrelevant to me. I'm just waiting till the end of this month till I can hear it from the horse's mouth.

Yeah but I have everything but the CPU, I was going to get the 2700x but then they were all like, BUT Wait!!! We expect the new chips Q1 of 2019 and I was like OK that’s April at the latest I can wait...

Well even if I could order it the drain port I ordered from EKWB hasn’t arrived yet so I can’t complete the loop for the rig anyways.

Until DDR4 prices get to DDR3 2012 levels, I am not interested in moar memory. :D Waiting for 2 x 16GB to get to $110 or so before I bother replacing any of my 2 x 8GB kits. (Yes, in September of 2012, you could buy 4 x 8GB of DDR3 for $110 and no, not just the cheap crap.) As for the Zen 2 CPU, I am not going to upgrade, since I am happy with my 1600, 1700 and 2600. :)

Brings back so many good memories, thanks for the nostalgia trip :) I remember really liking my old athlon xp system, but then I upgraded to the infamous opteron 165. Wow what a beast that was! Easily my favourite build to this day. Got even better when I built my own water loop and took the heat spreader off :) nothing like direct die water cooling with a block I make myself with a drillpress in the garage. Good times.
 
I always take these pre-launch "leaks" with a grain of salt, but if these are true, I'd be very interested in the 3700x.

I'm more interested in a guaranteed 5ghz turbo capability than I am an excessive amount of cores.

I've been waiting for AMD to make a real comeback and become competitive with Intel since 2006 when intel took the lead back with Core2. I just never realized it would take this long, or that it would come in the form of 7nm :p

- Phenom was a disappointment with its TLB bug
- Phenom II couldn't quite keep up.
- Bulldozer was an utter disaster, and none of the follow-on designs helped much.
- The first two Ryzen releases almost got us there.
- 7nm may finally seal the deal.

I'm hoping for per core performance parity with Intel. Not sure if we'll get it, but I'm pretty sure it will at the very least be close enough that the differenc eis academic.

The question no one seems to be asking - however - is, why does AMD need 7nm to compete with Intel's 14nm? It suggests they are leaning entirely on process size to compete, and that their underlying architecture is not that strong. What happens when Intel fixes its production process woes? AMD had better be in full on panic mode internally to optimize their architecture design to the point where it is competitive with Intel on the same process size, or they are going to be crushed when Intel inevitably fixes their production process.
 
opteron 165
(y)
I still have mine, how can i not have a CPU code named Denmark and being a Dane.
But after that one i have been on a range of Intel platforms, either by choice, or by chance as i won a new motherboard and why not use it.

My first AMD CPU was also part of my first DIY build, the 700 MHZ slot A CPU + GFD but i cant remember what i managed to push it to.

I ran an overclocked 939 Opteron as well. I bought the lowest end model because they OCed like champions. I think that might have been the Opteron 165.

I almost built an X2 system, but I remember all the leaks telling me the hold off until C2D. It was an antsy few months waiting to build my first custom PC ever. The though of having an AMD chip makes me very excited. And again I'm holding off right now as opposed to picking up a secondhand 7960x or 7980xe for the tasks I need.

Yeah by the time X2 came around it was only worth buying if you already had a decent 939 setup to upgrade.

I'm excited for it too. Already built my dad a 2700x rig in December and it's really good. The only thing that kept me from getting my own is that single core performance is about the same as my 4790k and the 2700x gets way too hot to even try pushing past 4.3ghz all core (and he has a full loop with a 480 + 360) . I've just been waiting for anything that will give me a decent single core performance boost so I can feel the upgrade in games. If the +15% IPC and boost in clock frequency are true I'm buying the 8 core the second it goes up for sale! (assuming I can afford it, please be 8 core $ 349 or less AMD :p )
 
It would be nice if the rumours were true, but as with all things AMD for the last 10 years, I'll wait for the reviews. I will eventually need to switch from my 6 core though since the new consoles having 8 core ryzen chips should mean games will actually require cpu grunt again.

One thing to keep in mind is that any flagship 8 core ryzen will be better than the 2700x, which is a really good CPU. Unless Intel has something better than the 9900k ready to drop soon, it wouldn't be too unsafe to assume AMD is getting close to parity with Intel. I think the 2700x gets 19-20% less than the 9900k in cinebench (4.3ghz vs 5ghz).. +10% IPC and +10% clocks (even if OC) would match up with Intel's 9900k and be a huge win for the consumer when price drops start hitting.

You know, until last night I was convinced I didn't really need a CPU upgrade and my old hexacore x79 Sandy-E [email protected] was doing just fine.

I've been itching to upgrade the CPU for some time, after all, I've had this system for 8 years now, but I just couldnt justify spending the money since it had been running everything I've thrown at it remarkably well.


Last night - however - I was CPU limited in a game for the first time in a decade.

Apparently when you approach a large compound in Far Cry 3 story mode with lots of NPC's in it gets remarkably CPU intensive.

Framerate briefly dropped below 60. I looked at GPU utilization it was at 56% (4k ultra with 8x MSAA is pretty GPU intensive even on older titles) so that wasn't the culprit. Glanced at overall CPU utilization and it was at 70%. Presumably the main game thread was pinning a core.

I found this really surprising. Haven't come anywhere close before.

So, now when I buy 7nm Ryzen I won't feel badly anymore. I actually have a reason :p

Ryzen sealed the deal for me when I could get a 1700 for $180 (bought from a friend who upgraded to a 2700x)
OC'd to 4GHz right when I got it no problems on a $25 cooler (I backed down to 3.925 for stability/peace of mind)
I consider anything above 60FPS to be a bonus for me on my 144hz monitor (Except for quake live..... it needs to be pegged at 250FPS at all times.... which it does......... while encoding video on 6 cores)
This thing is an encoding BEAST for $180 that can also game really good.
Intel had no better alternative for me that was within $50 AT LEAST....
Super can't wait for 7nm Ryzen since it'll be a drop in upgrade.......

I use my PC for lots of things, Server tasks (game servers, webserver, etc), VMs, gaming, encoding media, storage. Everything except backups, I have another device for that (Makeshift NAS).

PS: I also had a 8320e that I used for the same things, but only because I was super dirt cheap, it was either that or a dual core and I couldn't make myself buy a dual core in 2014 lol. Still use it in a secondary PC though! Makes me wonder if a i3 would've served me better, then upgrade to a used i7 later......

If the 9900k wasn't double the price of a 2700x (in my country) I'd be tempted to just drop one into my z370. Knowing myself though I'll probably sit on the fence until next year and see what happens since I wouldn't mind having USB 4.0 on my next motherboard and I don't think x570 boards will have it.
