Official Ryzen 5, 7 and 9 XT variants specs released to the public and release date

[AndreiArgeanu]

AMD has officially revealed on their website the 3 new refreshed ryzen cpu's. These are rumoured to have better overclocking capabilities compared to previous models in addition to the higher boost clocks. These cpu's will soon be released in early July, I'd imagine ideally on the 7th of July since it's the same day and month 3600, 3700 and 3800 originally released.

 

The 3600XT still has 6 cores and 12 threads despite some news sources indicating that it will be a 4 core 8 thread part like the 3100 and 3300x. The CPU's are also still made on the same TSMC 7nm FinFET process like previous ryzen 3000 cpu's. AMD also chose to keep the same TDP for the new XT cpu's as their previous X variants.

I can't wait to see whether AMD has somehow brought better overclocking capabilities to the CPUs

AMD: R5 3600XT R7 3800XT R9 3900XT

The 3800XT could actually be very dangerous for Intel gaming chips. 4.7 GHz boost clock on zen2 sounds like a dream to me.

[Naterr]

I love their simplistic SKU's/Model numbers for their Ryzen series. I believe the R7 3800XT may be my octa-core choice to upgrade from my R5 2600X.

Would've made no sense for AMD to make the 3600XT be 4c/8t. It would've just confused people.

I think that was one site (forget which) made a typo, as their source didn't have the same error. If other people repeated it...

[Haro]

So it is the same thing just over clocked even more out of the box ?

Hoped for a better FCLK honestly

[dizmo]

....meh. Huge meh. It's a whopping 100mhz over their non-XT brethren. I mean, if they're the same price then performance gains are always nice to be had, but if they've increased the price at all I fail to see how this would be anywhere near worth purchasing.

 

It's also highly unlikely you'll get any better overclocking from these. They're likely just binned chips.

A mere 100mhz boost won't be a huge difference. You could just look at OC results for the 3800x and see what the performance figures will be.

I'd just wait for the 4000 series, provided the rumors of them holding off until next year aren't true.

That, or grab a 3800x at a lower price and overclock it.

Actually it's 200MHz and considering how close they are already that will close the gap a bit further.

Gotta agree with that, wait for 4000 Series.

Some info:

• B450 motherboard will still be produced. B550 is considered higher-end.
• XT versions of the CPU, while looks like they are a marginal frequency bump, AMD claims that they can sustain a higher clock rate for longer, thanks to improved processes (that said, I don't know if you buy a recently produced non-XT version, if it can do the same... or those limit are set on the chip itself or BIOS specs (which I guess you can by-pass with your motherboard UEFI OC options))
• CPU specs on each model on this news thread are correct. I don't know why people claim that the 3600XT has 4 core, when it has 6 cores. I guess reading specs is too hard: https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-3600xt
• 3600XT is the only one, of the XT series that is, that will ship with a cooler.

thats kinda nice most people who are buying r7 or r9 don't need the stock cooler or likely got one lying around

Using XT for CPU's and GPU's together is asinine

So for 3700 and up basically there the same chips as before in a smaller box without cooler so that your forced to use a better cooler causing slightly higher boost? Then just print 4.8 on the box, people didnt mind not hitting advertised 4.6 so why would they mind not hitting advertised 4.8, and if they do, now can safely blame their cooler. (Note this is tongue in cheek, got a r9 myself and loving it).

 

They just binned and stocked the best 3600'ds the past year to now sell at a premium as a "refresh". Good though, rather have them spend time on 4000 series than on real refreshes.

 

I actually hope for new buyers that the prices will be made even more attractive now that they finaly dropped the paperwraiths. That should shave off some production and especially transport cost due to the massive weight difference (I suspect the skyrocketed transport prices due to human malware play a role in this decision).

Half right. 100 for the 3600x, 200 for the 3800x.

1usmus hints at 2000MHz FCLK possible. Although that's based off a "trusted source" and not actual samples.

Sure, but the price isn't lower.

you got to pay extra from intel for years to get OC and no stock cooler.

the old chips will still exist doesn't say they are going away.

Idk. It doesn't seem worth 400 dollars when you can buy a 3900x for that price. You get 12 cores instead of 8 and 4.6 boost clock instead of 4.7. I doubt the 100mhz is worth losing out on 4 additional cores.

Yeah, I remember that issue. That idiot didn't double-check his shit and we all were confused while the 3600XT would be a 4c/8t while the 3600(X) are 6c/12t.

Well, it is. That's true. Why not XP?

[S w a t s o n]

Honestly, kind of silly how much fan fare this is getting. It's AMD basically openly saying the process is better so we just turned up the boost a little but there have been sources saying that recent chips were doing up to 200MHz better OC now so it's clear that overall the chips are just better. I expect they will not be making any more not XT skus and all chips will be shipped as XT now rather than binning XT chips as another bin.

It is just a chip to keep the price up. Their prices matches the original MSRP's of their non XT counterpart.

I think AMD doesn't expect high sales. This is, my guess, aimed at those who want the best that they can get (budget wise) don't mind cashing the price increase for that 3-4% performance increase that they'll get out of the box,  and they need a system now. Or, they are just there to better compete against Intel offerings and get reviewers to start talking about AMD again. Reviewers will probably recommend the none XT version considering the lower price.

Im hoping people run out and upgrade their 3600 3700 to the new xt's.  I need to upgrade my 1600 so I wan't to buy a 3600/3700 second hand nice and cheap

For up to 3-4% performance boost, no one will upgrade. They'll wait for Zen 3.

That's for a single-core.

 

All-core would be closer to 4.2 - 4.3GHz.

 

A small bump in boost clocks won't even the playing field against Intel in a significant manner over the non-XT CPUs, let alone surpass them. You have to wait for Zen 3 for that.

People wont be paying for All core at all lol. I can already OC my 3800x to 4.4 ghz all core at 1.375v With pretty much ease. Performs much better and consistently then if i did any PBO tweaking and such. 

 

Hopefully Zen3 Brings Better Memory support as well from MB Vendors as their QVLS have been Quite short.
