Amd ryzen 3000 will include 16-core models at 5.1 ghz [rumor]

A new leak courtesy of AdoredTV, suggests AMD is working on up to ten new Ryzen 3000 processors, including a 16-core chip at a massive 5.1GHz clock speed, let's take a look at all the details.

AMD Ryzen 3 3000 makes the leap to 6 cores

According to AdoredTV, AMD will release three new entry-level Ryzen 3 processors. The Ryzen 3 3300 is a six-core, twelve-wire CPU with a 3.2GHz base clock, a 4GHz boost, 50W TDP and priced at $ 99. Next up is the Ryzen 3 3300X, again a twelve-core six-core processor, this time with a 3.5GHz base clock, a 4.3GHz boost, 65W TDP and priced at $ 129. Both CPUs are rumored to debut at CES 2019.

Finally, the Ryzen 3 3300G is a six-core, twelve-wire CPU with a 3.0GHz base clock, a 3.8GHz turbo, and a 65W TDP. Unlike the other Ryzen 3 processors, this one will apparently come with a Navi 12 GPU integrated with 15 compute units, making it AMD's first six-core desktop APU and would be priced at $ 129.

Ryzen 5 3000 offers 8 cores

As for the AMD Ryzen 5 series, three mid-range Ryzen 5 processors from the 3000 series with 8 cores and 16 threads have also been rumored. The first, the Ryzen 5 3600, comes with a 3.6GHz base clock, 4.4GHz turbo, 65W TDP, and is priced at $ 178. Next up is the Ryzen 5 3600X, again an 8-wire, 16-wire processor with 4-4.8GHz speed, a TDP of 95W and priced at $ 229. Both could also be unveiled at CES alongside the early Ryzen 3. Then there's the Ryzen 5 3600G, an 8-core, 16-wire APU with a 3.2GHz base clock, a 4GHz turbo clock, a 95W TDP, and a Navi 15 GPU with 20 computing units. It would arrive in the third quarter of 2019 for a price of $ 199.

We continue with the Ryzen 7 3000 processors , apparently they will not have integrated graphics, and they will use an architecture similar to AMD's EPYC 2 server chips, with two Zen 2 matrices that make up 12 cores and 24 threads. The Ryzen 7 3700 will have a 3.8GHz base clock and 4.6GHz turbo, 95W TDP, and is priced at $ 299. The Ryzen 7 3700X maintains the same features, except for a 4.2GHz base clock and 5.0GHz turbo, a 105W TDP and priced at $ 329.

AMD Ryzen 9 3800, the new top of the range 16-core 5.1 GHz

It is also rumored that AMD is preparing two really impressive Ryzen 9 CPUs, which will feature two full 8-core Zen 2 matrices, giving them 16 cores and 32 threads. The Ryzen 9 3800X comes with a 3.9GHz base frequency and 4.7GHz turbo, 125W TDP, and is priced at $ 449. It would be announced at CES. Finally, the Ryzen 9 3850X would come in May with a 4.3GHz base clock base clock, a 5.1GHz turbo, 135W TDP and priced at $ 499.

If these specs and prices are real, then AMD's Ryzen 3000 series will be a formidable family - and something Intel may have a hard time matching in terms of price and power.
