Amd whitehaven is the 16 core processor with zen architecture, new details

The new AMD Ryzen processors have had an excellent acceptance by the most demanding users and it is that for many years that a leap as great as that made by the company with the Zen microarchitecture was seen. To make life more difficult for Intel, AMD is preparing Whitehaven to be its new 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the successful Zen architecture.

AMD Whitehaven will be the most powerful of AMD for the domestic sector

AMD Whitehaven will be AMD's new flagship processor for its new Zen- based HEDT X399 platform, this processor reaches an impressive configuration of 16 cores and 32 threads so it promises to offer spectacular multi-thread performance, not in vain Zen has been shown as a true powerhouse when all its resources are used to the maximum. This processor reaches frequencies of 3.1 GHz in base mode and 3.6 GHz in turbo mode, so its single-thread performance will also be quite good.

Second, we have another processor that reduces its configuration to 12 cores and 24 threads so it will be a cheaper option than the previous chip and much more powerful than the Ryzen 7 1800X 8 cores and 16 threads. In this case the frequencies reach 2.7 GHz and 3.2 GHz.

Both processors mount a quad chanel memory controller to increase bandwidth and take full advantage of Zen, their natural rivals will be the new Intel Core i7-7740K and Core i5-7640K processors. Both platforms will arrive in the middle of the year for the most demanding users.
