Less than a week remains before the presentation of the Ryzen 3000 processors, but the flow of rumors and leaks about them does not decrease. This time, the AdoredTV YouTube channel has shared some information about the performance of the flagship 16-core Ryzen 3000 processor, as well as some other data on upcoming AMD updates.
To begin with, it is worth noting that as part of the upcoming Computex 2019 exhibition, only the announcement of new AMD processors will take place, and not all of them. It is reported that a 12-core chip will most likely be presented there, but AMD may postpone the announcement of a 16-core flagship model. As for the start date for sales of new chips, there is no exact information on this either. But regarding the price, it is reported that previous leaks on this subject were close to the truth. That is, the price of the flagship will be about $500, and the 12-core chip will cost about $450.
It is also reported that motherboards based on the X570 chipset may not appear simultaneously with the new processors, but a little later in July, since the chipset itself is still “a little not ready”. According to the source, the final configuration of the chipset has not yet been determined, despite the fact that manufacturers have already prepared motherboards based on it. It is also reported that motherboard manufacturers cannot finish their products, since AMD does not provide final or close versions of new processors, and they only have engineering samples at their disposal.
In terms of performance, according to the source, in the popular Cinebench R15 benchmark, an engineering sample of the 16-core Ryzen 3000, operating at a frequency of 4,2 GHz, was able to score 4278 points in a multi-core test. And this is a very high result! For comparison, the Core i9-9900K scores only about 2000 points in the same test, and only the 4300-core Ryzen Threadripper 24WX obeyed a comparable 2970, if we consider only desktop chips.
I would immediately like to note that this is only an engineering sample, and the final version of the 16-core Ryzen 3000 should receive higher frequencies, and, accordingly, will be able to demonstrate an even higher level of performance in tasks that can use many cores at the same time. And as a more versatile solution, which should have both a large number of cores and high performance per core, the 12-core Ryzen 3000, which is credited with a maximum Turbo frequency of 5,0 GHz, should act.
