South Korean agency reveals Ryzen 7 3700x and Ryzen 5 3600x cpus

Anyone looking for an upgrade to their processor that hasn't jumped on the Intel Coffee Lake or current Ryzen bandwagon is probably paying close attention to AMD's upcoming Zen 2 CPUs. The Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X CPUs appear to have been revealed by an AMD-contracted sales agency in South Korea.

South Korean sales agency confirms Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X processors in contest

The next generation of Ryzen chips will finally leave AMD ahead of Intel in terms of manufacturing process for the first time in years thanks to 7nm. With Zen 2 for 2019 and its launch being of such importance to AMD, it is no wonder that some promotions or small advances are already appearing.

A small teaser was released by an AMD-contracted sales agency in South Korea, which launched a campaign inviting users to guess Cinebench scores for upcoming AMD processors: the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X, confirming this the nomenclature of upcoming AMD CPUs. The contest ends on December 14, and basically consists of asking users to take a look at the scores of unpublished CPUs, promising prizes of said CPUs when they are launched.

According to the source who published the news, HardwareBattle , the contest is not AMD official nor was it published by AMD employees, but by a CPU sales agency hired by AMD to host local events and contests.

So this agency could well have 'screwed up' with this contest, revealing AMD products that haven't been announced yet. In any case, this information is very useful because the nomenclatures coincide with the information that came out a couple of days ago and that we publish here.
