And yet they exist! A well-known source of leaks with the pseudonym Tum Apisak reports that he has discovered information about an engineering sample of the 16-core Ryzen 3000 processor. will be chips with twice as many cores.
According to the source, the engineering sample has 16 Zen 2 cores and, most likely, 32 computing threads. At the same time, this processor is mentioned along with the motherboard based on the new AMD X570 chipset, which will become the successor to the current X470. It follows that the 16-core processor is made in the Socket AM4 package and is aimed at the mass market segment. That is, this is not some new Ryzen Threadripper, but a representative of the Ryzen 3000 family.

The base clock speed of the engineering sample is 3,3 GHz, while in Boost mode it can accelerate up to 4,2 GHz. Perhaps, however, this is only the maximum frequency for one core, but nevertheless, for a 16-core processor, this is a very good indicator. Moreover, we are talking only about an engineering sample, and the final version of the processor should work with higher frequencies.
For comparison, the current 16-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X processor, which belongs to a higher class of solutions for the HEDT segment, has frequencies of 3,5 / 4,4 GHz. But at the same time, its TDP level is 180 watts. The mentioned 16-core Ryzen 3000 TDP level, most likely, will not exceed 100 watts. And, again, in the final version, the frequencies will probably be higher.
In the end, I would like to note that the arrival of the 16-core Ryzen 3000 processor partly explains why AMD has no plans to release a new generation of high-performance Ryzen Threadripper desktop processors yet. Perhaps such processors will appear later and offer from 24 to 64 cores, following the example of older EPYC Rome server chips.
