AMD has announced that the 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs will release in mid 2019. The red team claimed that these CPUs will be the first 7nm gaming CPUs, will be the world’s first mainstream CPUs to support PCIe 4.0 x16, and will run on the same motherboards.
At CES 2019, AMD demoed an eight-core model with a not finalized frequency against Intel’s high-end Core i9 9900K and the 3rd generation Ryzen CPU was slightly faster. Not only that, but the AMD chip draws less power than the Intel chip.
AMD also showcased Forza Horizon 4 running on the 3rd generation Ryzen CPU at 1080p on Ultra settings with more than 100fps at all times.
The red team did not reveal any additional details about these CPUs, so we don’t know how they will be called, their default frequencies, their boost frequencies, or the cores/threads that will be available per model.
We expect AMD to reveal more details in early Summer, so stay tuned for more!

I will put this baby into my Hero VI 😉
If thats the chip the next consoles will be using, then the next consoles could be interesting
Ah, okay !
I prefer fake leather than real… subhumans needs to EVOLVE.
Make Intel cry plz. Show them no mercy.
Show them no mercy.

It’s great for the consumer that AMD are now providing meaningful competition to Intel following them having spent many seasons in the abyss.
Haha, well put.
Lisa ‘Angel of Death’ Su!
Who’s Slayer? Is that a Country Music band?
:p
But what about the Angels of Mercy? https://youtu.be/Ghvg0wftEnc
Really nice. I love this melodic power metal band…But this song isn’t that good….
Agree. It’s okay, but not one of their best
Like i saw no mercy to my enemies! Anyway since have ryzen 1700 there is no need to upgrade.
Finish Him AMD!

YESSS! No mercy, only brutal destruction of Intel!
Go red!
Yes no mercy! I destroy all my enemies!
I wasn’t expecting frequencies, product names/prices, etc. But it’s really disappointing that we didn’t even get core counts. Chiplets/seperate IO die confirmed at least, but we basically learned nothing. Really sh*t conference tbh.
Let me rephrase: she didn’t discuss what core counts would be across the full product stack (6 core min, 12/16 core max). She basically just said “a” Zen 2 based 8C/16T can match 9900k stock, no more, no less.
Looks like there’s still enough room for a second CPU chiplet, but we’ll have to wait and see.

You do realise that TR has a different socket?
It seems that this CPU is an early engineering sample, so we can expect slightly more performance in future.
By looking at the DIE, it seems like the architecture is different, and the 8-core part uses a chiplet design for the IO+CPU cores. The IO chip seems to be bigger, and I’m assuming it is indeed fabbed on a 12 or 14nm node, and the CPU on 7nm.
Edit: That indeed seems to be the case.
The smaller die on the right contains 8-cores/16-threads on 7 nm. The larger die on the left is the IO die, consisting of things like the memory controller, SoC, and PCI-E connectivity, to shuffle/transfer data between the CPU die, and the remaining system.

We already know Epyc is using a 14nm IO die, there’s no way they’d use 12nm for consumer parts only. They gain no scalability and would only make manufacturing harder.
Yup, that’s a 14nm based I/O die for sure. AMD is taking the multi-chip module/MCM approach with this one as well.
Pretty much as expected before by looking at the die. 16/12 cores CPU is also inbound.

God I f*ing miss pre Apple aesthetics
Seriously, f*k that sh**ty company

Where’s the GPUs? Why are AMD allowing nvidia to dominate the GPU market?
AMD already announced the Radeon VII. The worlds first 7nm GPU.
A 1080 TI / 2070 for 700 bucks. Worse performance / price than the Vega64 and that’s already a questionable purchase.
“At CES 2019, AMD demoed an eight-core model with a not finalized frequency against Intel’s high-end Core i9 9900K and the 3rd generation Ryzen CPU was slightly faster. Not only that, but the AMD chip draws less power than the Intel chip.”
Also, the chip used for the comparison was the mid-range R5 3600/3600X, not the high-end 3700-3800X, which will annihilate the 9900K in both performance, pricing and most likely power usage as well.
I don’t care about 8 physical cores, that’s a waste of money and power. I’ll pay attention when they announce the “3600” or whatever they’ll call it. 65 Watts, 6 cores, high single core performance for games. That’s all a gamer needs, everything else is a gimmick.
I want to buy an AM4 CPU because the platform has a future and Intel won’t support any socket for more than a day. But if you went by GamePerformance/Price right now you’d have to buy an i5 8400 and that’s a fact. Again, I WANT to buy AMD but they’re not letting me if they keep releasing these video editor CPUs and upper mid-range GPUs for over 500 bucks.
