Ryzen 3000 series to be revealed Dec 18?

[The Benjamins]

Quote

Before I started writing this post, I have reached out to HardwareBattle to ask for details. From what I learned, the contest was neither posted by a PR agency nor AMD employees working on behalf of AMD. I was told this is just a CPU sales agency hired by AMD to do local events and contests.

This contest requires all participants to guess Cinebnech score for yet unreleased Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X CPUs. As weird as it may sound, the contest ends on December 14th. However, this is not when new Ryzen 3000 are coming out.

It’s true that the winners of this contest will receive Ryzen 3000 CPUs, but only after they are out, and for that, no date was given.

 

So based on this, there is a contest in Korea to guess the 3700x and 3600x C15 scores, and it ends Dec 14, Does that mean we will get a Ryzen 3000s reveal on or just after the 14th?

 

EDIT: their is a Dec 18th date on the source is this the winner pick date + reveal?

 

If this is true we get to get a idea of the 3700x REALLY soon.

 

Put what you guys think the C15 results will be below.

Everyone's saying "oh it's going to be 12 cores, 5 GHz out of the box", etc. and frankly, I just want to see how accurate these rumors hold up. I'll be floored if even the 12 cores part comes true, but I'm really just predicting this next generation of Zen to have mostly the same core counts as the current generation chips.

If we get AMDs C15 info around Dec 14 then we should be able to judge how close those rumors are.

 

Lets put Our guess below.

single or multicore?

both, according to the translation.

[FloRolf]

1337 Single Core and 9001 Multicore, you heard it here first.

[Void Master]

Cool !

if this happens i will be very impressed

And Intel will be beaten 

again !

I made a google form for LTT community guess, Lets see what you guys think.

This seems strange.

[Big Head Tech]

Here's my math.

 

Below are my charts.  Based on simple math and a 15% IPC Boost.

	Speed (Single Core)	Speed (All Core)	SC	MC
7 2700x	4.3	4.2	174	1855
3600x	4.8	4.8	223	2133
3700x	5	5	233	3333

@The Benjamins can you delete my first entry, forgot the 3700x was 12 cores.

[yian88]

lol i was thinking CPU-z scores when guessing welp, fail delete my entry hahaha 

 

anyway i think new ryzens will only be 8 core, people are daydreaming 5ghz 16 cores cpu's left and right, we need a reality check hopefully amd says something at least that they are fake, or another more credible leak to demolish the fake one before hype train grows any bigger

[Simon771]

5GHz on all cores? I will be surprised if those chips can handle 4,7GHz on all cores.

Not that I don't like AMD, but jumping from 4GHz on all cores to 5GHz seems kinda hard even if they went with 7nm instead of 12/14.

Many people like LTT will probably have their hands on the product a few days before the product releases, so I'd imagine the contest would end before they get the product to make sure no one cheats.

Done.

 

you can submit multiple entries, I will delete the old ones when i notice it.

That's pretty leet that your guess is over nine thousand.

This topic confuses me, how does the closing date of a competition in Korea somehow indicate an announcement date for a CPU? Where did the 18th come from? The competition closes on the 14th?

 

The quoted post even says the CPUs don't come out on the competition close date and that no launch date was given.

 

Talk about taking 2 + 2 and getting 22.

The close date is 14 but in the picture in the spoiler it their is a dec 18 presumably the winner announcement date.

If the winner is picled, then we should know what AMD says the C15 score is.

We should know what the closest guess was, nothing more. It's just as likely AMD will announce the competition winner then tell everyone to wait until CES in January for the actual announcement. They've already said CES will be the venue for the reveal.

 

I don't see any reasonable correlation between picking a competition winner and announcing a product.

the winner would now a fairly close cinebench score which would give us the information to validate the leaks. We would know a rough ST and MT score, allowing us to derive core count. how is that now new worthy?

I didn't say it's not news worthy, I said claiming a release date from a competition finish date is a big jump.

[Okjoek]

I hope AdoredTV's leaks are accurate. hexa cores for ~$125 would destroy Intel.

 

I like the sound of 6 core and 8 core APUs as well. I don't see why they couldn't since they've been touting the improved density of 7nm.

If the winners are selected and informed on Dec 18th, then 3700X and 3600X cinebench scores will officially be known on that date. You don't get final performacne numbers like that 6 months out from the launch of a consumer product. Not to mention AMD is funding a PR firm to hype the CPUs. That wouldn't happen unless the launch date was very close. You want maximum hype at product launch.

 

I'm sure not of anything, but I think some of the lower tier 7nm Ryzen skus (and the 3600X/3700X) will release on or just after AMD's keynote address at CES

There is almost exactly one month between the competition end date and CES. Guess where AMD have already said they'll announce?

[Doobeedoo]

I doubt that reveal date, but who knows.

 

The bigger jump in frequency is something expected. Seeing higher core count parts with higher clocks, quite something considering the core count is to be doubled. This would be significant improvement in every corner. 

So it would mean that they managed to double the core count while also increasing frequency by a lot all while keeping that TDP hmm. That definitely sounds too good to be true even along architectural improvement and 7nm node. 

But hey, grain of sugar for a change maybe?
