Amd is unveiling 16 and 12 core ryzen 3000 cpus for oems

We are fast approaching the impending launch of AMD's next generation Ryzen 3000 CPU family, and these days we have had several rumors and leaks pointing towards a significant increase in the number of cores for the new series.

AMD Ryzen 3000 will have 16 and 12 core models

AMD is said to be introducing two high-end Ryzen 3000 series processors to original equipment manufacturers at the moment. A top-of-the-line 16-core chip and a 12-core chip one notch below.

The source cited by the folks at Wccftech seems reliable and Ryzen 12- and 16-core processors seem to be just around the corner. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are already receiving these chips to add to their new equipment to be released in 2019.

I can't leak the details but AMD have been showing at least two CPUs around the mobo makers. The 16C Apisak found is very likely to be one of the chips they were showing.

The other one was 12 cores and really high clock speeds. ? I don't know if they benched it online though.

From what is being said, the company is positioning the 16-core Ryzen 3000 as the fastest multi-threaded processor that we will be able to acquire on any conventional desktop platform when it launches this summer. While the 12-core chip, with its significantly higher clock speeds, will be the perfect balance of performance, number of cores, and price.

The 16-core processors would be the Ryzen 9 3850X and 3800X, while the 12-core processors would be the Ryzen 7 3700X and 3700. All four models will have the ability to double the number of threads, so we are talking about the Ryzen 9 3850X and 3800X being able to work with 32 threads, something spectacular for a desktop CPU.

These processors would be presented during Computex later this month.
