AMD Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 revealed
The Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 first appeared on an EEC listing in July. Today, Biostar has shed light on the specifications of these processors. As with any 3rd generation Ryzen chip, the Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 use AMD's advanced Zen 2 microarchitecture and are built on top of TSMC's 7nm FinFET process node.

The Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 appear to be essentially more 'efficient' variants of the original Ryzen 9 3900X. The "Pro" variant includes enhanced business and security features. Both Matisse chips are expected to have 12 cores, 24 threads, and 70 MB of total cache. However, the Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 will compete in the 65W TDP (Thermal Design Power) category against the Intel Core i9-9900.
According to information from Biostar, the Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 carry a 3.1 GHz base clock, which is 700 MHz lower than the Ryzen 9 3900X. The motherboard maker did not list the 'boost' watches. However, the well-known TUM_APISAK filter seems to think that the 'boost' clock will be 4.3 GHz. So we are facing a clock almost 10% lower in the worst case.
It is unknown when AMD will launch the Ryzen 9 3900 and Ryzen 9 Pro 3900. The chipmaker is likely busy stocking up for the Ryzen 9 3950X, which has been postponed until November, and preparing to launch the Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series. They are likely to come out after the Ryzen 3950X, but we cannot be sure. We will keep you informed.
