AMD Zen 2 3000 Series: Listing all prices and possible features at launch.
Contents
The new series of AMD processors under the Zen 2 architecture has once again been in the news even though it has not yet been launched. And it is that a new price list has revealed all the models that Lisa Su’s will put up for sale, where how could it be otherwise, its cost has been filtered. In addition, new rumors point towards a series of interesting features.
Up to 10 processors with Ryzen 2 architecture
Before starting the article, we have to warn you that both the prices and the characteristics can (and should) be modified, especially due to the speed of the leak, so we beg you to take them with a grain of salt, especially the technical characteristics.
The origin of the news comes from the Bizgram website, in Singapore, where we saw months ago how Intel’s 9 series processors were successfully listed almost a month before their release and where they were completely correct in nomenclatures and prices.

The difference this time is that we are very far from the launch date, where in theory we should see the first models from July 7, the date of its presentation, where curiously it would not enter Computex or E3, but an event private apart from these.
Perhaps the biggest novelty, seeing this list, is the inclusion of the Ryzen 9 series, which will come to rival the Intel Core i9 of the blue giant, where, as we will see now, they should fight face to face in all areas .
Prices, as seen, range from $151 for the Ryzen 3 3300 to $760 for the Ryzen 9 3850X, all excluding VAT it seems, although there is good news regarding this.
Luckily, the listed prices are in Singapore dollars, so in order to convert them to US dollars, they must be exchanged for their real value: 0.74 USD for each specified dollar.
This fact would leave us with a lower price than the one shown, already with VAT included and with the conversion carried out, so the prices will be really competitive.
Technical characteristics of the Ryzen 3000 series
Here comes the most controversial section, since, apart from the technical characteristics such as frequencies and cores, rumors and our sources point to a later release for the Ryzen 9 series with 16 cores and 32 threads.
This would leave AMD to launch and spearhead its Ryzen 7 3700X with 12 cores and 24 threads under the 7nm lithographic process, as TSMC’s 16 cores without EUV are rumored to be too high. consumption.
In the same way and from what it seems, the Ryzen 3000 range will start at six cores and twelve threads with the R3 3300 at a speed of 4 GHz with Boost and a consumption of only 50 watts, where it will have a counterpart with the same characteristics and greater speed (4.3 GHz) called R3 3300X.

The novelty would lie in its G version, since rumors point to the use of a Navi iGPU with 15 CU, which would lower the final frequency to 3.8 GHz to keep the TDP at the 65 watts of the R3 3300X.
This G version with iGPU would be delayed in time to arrive sometime in Q3 of this year, predictably with the introduction of Navi as a GPU architecture.
Like the Ryzen 3 series, the Ryzen 5 series will suffer the same delays with its APU, since from the outset we will have the Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 5 3600X with eight cores and sixteen threads with two different frequencies (4 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively). with Boost) and two consistent TDPs of 65 and 95 watts.
The Ryzen 5 3600G would once again be the CPU to delay due to its iGPU, since it would have Navi architecture and 20 CUs, which would cause the frequency to drop to 4 GHz with Boost to maintain the 95 watts of TDP.
Entering the Ryzen 7 range, here we would not find APUs, since they would be aimed at performance, where we could opt for a Ryzen 7 3700 with 12 cores and 24 threads at a frequency with Boost of 4.6 GHz and a TDP of 95 watts, while the Ryzen 7 3700X would push those numbers up to 4.2 GHz/5 GHz with a higher TDP of up to 105 watts.
Finally, the Ryzen 9 3800X would arrive with 16 cores and 32 threads at a base frequency of 3.9 GHz with a Boost of 4.7 GHz and an impressive TDP of 125 watts.
By contrast, the Ryzen 9 3850X will share the number of cores and threads, but will see its frequency raised to 4.3 GHz and 5.1 GHz respectively, where its TDP would increase by 10 watts to 135 watts.
These last two processors would predictably arrive shortly after the launch of Intel’s Ice Lake processors, where they would face the option of the blue giant from the start.
