According to the Russian price tracking website e-Katalog, AMD’s forthcoming Ryzen 3000-series processor lineup is complete. Notable is the fact that E-Katalog does not sell products. Similar to PCPartPicker, it provides pricing information for a variety of items, including household and computer equipment, electronics, home, and office products.
While the specifications are consistent with the most recent AdoredTV leak, these listings could be placeholders and should be viewed with caution. Nonetheless, if the listings are accurate, AMD’s new Ryzen chips could significantly disrupt the market for processors.
Matisse-codenamed Ryzen 3000 processors are rumored to be based on AMD’s Zen 2 processor microarchitecture, making them the successors of the current Pinnacle Ridge processors. In contrast to Pinnacle Ridge, which was manufactured with GlobalFoundries’ 12nm node, Matisse chips would be produced by TSMC using a 7nm production process.
Specifications for AMD’s Ryzen 3000 Series Processors
According to rumors, the core and frequency of the third-generation Ryzen processors will be upgraded. AMD is anticipated to increase the core count of Ryzen 3 3000 models from four to six, Ryzen 5 3000 chips from six to eight, and Ryzen 7 3000 components from eight to twelve.
The introduction of Ryzen 9 3000 processors with up to 16 cores and 32 threads is perhaps the most surprising aspect of the recent leaks, as it would effectively push the mainstream AM4 platform into Threadripper territory, similar to how Intel’s mainstream Core i9-9900K has encroached upon its HEDT lineup.
The Ryzen 3 3300 has a base clock of 3.2GHz, a boost clock of 4GHz, and a thermal design power (TDP) of 50W, while the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X has a base clock of 3.5GHz, a boost clock of 4.3GHz, and a TDP of 65W. They are anticipated to cost no more than $130, which is virtually unheard of for a six-core chip.
The Russian website lists the Ryzen 5 3600 with a base clock of 3.6GHz and a boost clock of 4.4GHz. According to reports, the Ryzen 5 3600X chip has a base clock of 4GHz and a boost clock of 4.8GHz. The non-X variant has a TDP of 65W, while the X variant has a TDP of 95W.
The Ryzen 7 3700 is listed as having a base clock of 3.8GHz, a boost clock of 4.6GHz, and a TDP of 95W, indicating that it is the next step up the Ryzen 3000-series hierarchy. The high-end Ryzen 7 3700X features a base clock of 4.2GHz, a boost clock of 5GHz, and a TDP of 105W.
Lastly, the Ryzen 3800X operates at 3.9GHz with a boost clock of 4.7GHz and a 125W TDP. In contrast, the Ryzen 9 3850X is listed with a base clock of 4.3GHz and a shockingly high boost clock of 5.1GHz, along with a TDP rating of 135W. However, e-Katalog only lists the first model, which may lend credence to the rumor that AMD will release the Ryzen 9 3850X at a later date (May 2019).
AMD Ryzen 3000 Series Release Date
Next week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) could mark the debut of AMD’s Ryzen 3000-series processors. We will be present to cover the event and deliver breaking news as it occurs.
