Last week we reported on a new rumor that AMD is working on a high-end desktop 16 core 32 threaded Ryzen processor series. These processors initially have been reported with a low base-clock in the 2.4 to 2.8 GHz range. It’s reported that this 16-core and 32-treaded beast would do a 3.1 GHz base and 3.6 GHz Turbo frequency, yep that is like two R7 1700 CPUs.
This processor would be quad-channel compatible. The TDP for this product would sit in the 150 to 180 Watt range. So basically the package holds 4 CCXs.The processor would need an enthusiast chipset called X399 with socket (Land Grid Array) SP3r2 LGA and thus likely a spin-off from the server series. This platform and processor might become available in the next 4 to 6 months. This new information might be true, but take this one with a grain of salt please. If true, that would be an awesome processor series, bit I cannot help feeling it seems a bit unlikely.
