AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

[Jacknm2]

X570/B550 are perfect for Zen3
Another bullet point is possible increase in optimal memory speed. Current sweet spot is DDR4 3600-3800, but if Renoir is any indication this could move to 4000-4400.

Of course coming from Zen2 it will be smallest improvement. But for all others it should be very noticeable.

Aye, my plan was to use a 3700X as a place holder for Zen 3 and then get the CPU I really want, an R9. Would have gotten a 3900X last year but lack of supply and having already paid OCUK for an entire build and waiting 3 weeks with nothing to show for, I opted to go lower and wait it out. I expect my Aorus Master board to handle anything I throw at it.

Is this release likely to be Better for gaming only pc (literally) than a comet lake 10900k?

There is not a chance in hell that a Ryzen 3 16 core will hit 5Ghz. My 3950X hits 4.65Ghz on single core, i don't think for one min that a 4950X is going much more than 200Mhz faster...............maybe not even that much.

From the other's replies, already you know this is completely wrong. The highest core count SKU will have the highest single core boost.

16 cores was 4.7ghz
12 cores was 4.6
8 cores got 4.5

So 5Ghz is adding 300mhz to the top 'only' for 4000 series. I expected 200mhz increase, but after seeing the 4.9ghz engineering sample (debate on whether this was 12 or 16c) already I am pretty sure they will do what is necessary to get that 5Ghz magic number breakthrough.

Moving into a single 8-core CCX design will certainly allow more granular reduction in core counts, but to be honest TSMC's yields are allegedly so good I don't actually see the point, unless it's a move to up core counts across the range.

Ryzen 5: 8 cores
Ryzen 7: 10 cores
Ryzen 9: 12 and 16 cores, maybe even 14 too.

The trick with that is the Ryzen 5 requires a fully-working chiplet, but it doesn't have to be the best clocker. Or you could do 4+4 for a non-X and 8+0 for the X, the latter benefitting from having no cross-CCD latency, but then you run the risk of the Ryzen 5X actually outperforming the Ryzen 7 because that will have a latency penalty the 5X doesn't have.

This actually seems like a great idea imo. The Ryzen 5's being 8 core, all on a single die would be amazing bang for buck. Then you have the Ryzen 7's that compete exactly with the Intel i9's that have 10 cores as their highest core counts.

Then you just have the 2 Ryzen 9's (12 and 16 core) that just blow everything else out the water.

You can then just leave the 6 core parts for Ryzen 3's and below

Gotta be Ryzen, sun rising.
But it'll be something useless, like unveiling the date of unveiling Zen3

Yes, no, maybe?

Haha cant argue with this! But they have been uncharacteristically quiet about their new products this year.....

 

[Bravetart]

Not going to get too excited but would be great for Zen3 to be released next month, just in time for a whole new build!

Ditto! Maybe we'll get Zen 3 and RDNA2 together....

 

[marti996]

At this point I'll take a date of an announcement for zen 3, just anything

Yeah. Just to point out what most of you have probably also spotted...

Actually very helpful as I worked it out but it wasnt immediately obvious. Thkugh they could have come up with something better..... lmao

 

[humbug]

lol

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Feel free to share the joke, chaps?

 

[Destination]

AMD announcement tomorrow.
No-one knows what it is.

 

[Jacknm2]

I was just laughing at them using a song from Annie... They could have done better lol.

 

[MissChief]

It’ll be a huge announcement of a countdown to another announcement of some sort.

Pfft I know, expecting a bit of cultural knowledge and basic common sense from their consumers... terrible! If they had just stuck to saying: "We have an announcement tomorrow" then it wouldn't have caused such mind-bending confusion. Next time AMD, next time...

I don't mind riddles and a bit of fun! But Annie... come on!!

 

[Journey]

Don't you know that Annie premiered in Italy on 10th Septmber 1982, exactly 38 years ago tomorrow, it therefore falls in line that AMD are clearly announcing the new CPU's due to how much they like using famous Italians or Italian cities.
