AMD is allegedly preparing 10 new unbelievable Ryzen 3000 series CPUs, including a 16 core with a mind-boggling 5.1GHz clock speed. More than a month away from CES and just when we least expect it a nuclear bomb of a leak drops on us courtesy of venerable youtuber AdoredTV who has shared a treasure trove of details regarding AMD's upcoming Zen 2 based Ryzen 3000 series CPUs.
He also dropped a massive leak about the specs, pricing & performance of AMD's upcoming RX 3080, 3070 & 3060 7nm Navi graphics card lineup, which is set to take on NVIDIA's RTX 2070, GTX 1070 & GTX 1060.
Before we get into the juicy bits, of which there's a ton! I must point out that none of the specifications or prices are confirmed by any stretch, so take this with a grain of salt as with any leak or rumor. Without any further ado, let's get into it!
AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, 3300 & 3300G - 6 Cores, Upto 4.3 GHz & $129
In the entry-level segment AMD is allegedly preparing three new Ryzen 3 processors, dubbed the 3300X, 3300 & 3300G. The latter of which features integrated Navi graphics while the two former SKUs are CPU only parts.
All three feature six 7nm Zen 2 cores and 12 execution threads. The 3300G features an integrated 15 compute unit Navi 12 GPU die and will be the first ever six core desktop APU from the company. The Ryzen 3 3300X will be the fastest six core Ryzen part that you can get your hands on, with a boost clock of 4.3 GHz and a TDP of 65W. The Ryzen 3 3300G is also rated at 65W, whilst the 3300 is rated at a more frugal 50W.

| AMD Ryzen CPU | Cores/Threads | GPU | Base Clock | Boost Clock | TDP | Price | Debut |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 3 3300 | 6/12 | N/A | 3.2GHz | 4.0GHz | 50W | $99 | CES |
| Ryzen 3 3300X | 6/12 | N/A | 3.5GHz | 4.3GHz | 65W | $129 | CES |
| Ryzen 3 3300G | 6/12 | 15 CU Navi | 3.0GHz | 3.8GHz | 65W | $129 | Q3 2019 |
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, 3600 & 3600G - 8 Cores, Upto 4.8 GHz & $229
In the mid-range segment the company is allegedly readying three brand new Ryzen 5 CPUs, the 3600X, 3600 and 3600G. Again, the latter of which features an integrated Navi graphics engine, while the former two SKUs are CPU only products.
The Ryzen 5 3600 series family features 8 cores and 16 execution threads. The Ryzen 5 3600G will be the first ever 8 core desktop APU from the company and it will feature a 20 CU Navi 12 GPU die. The Ryzen 5 3600X will be the fastest 8 core option from the company with a boost clock of 4.8 GHz and a TDP of 95W. The other two chips are rated at a more tame 65W.

| AMD Ryzen CPU | Cores/Threads | GPU | Base Clock | Boost Clock | TDP | Price | Debut |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 3600 | 8/16 | N/A | 3.6GHz | 4.4GHz | 65W | $178 | CES |
| Ryzen 5 3600X | 8/16 | N/A | 4.0GHz | 4.8GHz | 95W | $229 | CES |
| Ryzen 5 3600G | 8/16 | 20 CU Navi | 3.2GHz | 4.0GHz | 95W | $199 | Q3 2019 |
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 3700 - 12 Cores, Upto 5.0 GHz & $329
In the high-end segment we're looking at two new Ryzen 7 parts, both of which are CPU only products. This is because the company is said to be leveraging similar chiplet design to what we've already seen with its upcoming EPYC 2 server parts.
In this case utilizing two Zen 2 dies to make a high core count product. Both chips feature 12 cores and 24 execution threads. The Ryzen 7 3700X is rated at 105W whilst the 3700 is rated at a slightly more tame 95W.

| AMD Ryzen CPU | Cores/Threads | Base Clock | Boost Clock | TDP | Price | Debut |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 7 3700 | 12/24 | 3.8GHz | 4.6GHz | 95W | $299 | CES |
| Ryzen 7 3700X | 12/24 | 4.2GHz | 5.0GHz | 105W | $329 | CES |
AMD Ryzen 9 3850X, 3800X - 16 Cores, Upto 5.1 GHz & $499
At the very top-end of the scale the company is preparing two absolutely monstrous chips, each featuring two full 8 core Zen 2 dies for a total of 16 cores and 32 threads per processor.
The Ryzen 9 3850X is quite the specimen, with a 135W TDP rating and a boost clock of 5.1 GHz it's an absolute beast. We're looking at more than double the performance of the fastest AM4 CPU available on-shelves today.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 9 3800X | 16/32 | 3.9GHz | 4.7GHz | 125W | $449 | CES |
| Ryzen 9 3850X | 16/32 | 4.3GHz | 5.1GHz | 135W | $499 | May |
AMD is Doubling Down on Ryzen & AM4, Literally
We're clearly seeing the effect of the company's highly versatile die stacking strategy here, which has been in the works for over a decade. It allows the company to mix and match different logic dies to make different types of products as we're seeing here where the high-end Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 chips are actually made up of two Zen 2 dies, while the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 APU parts are made of a CPU and a GPU die connected via Infinity Fabric.
By using multiple small and simple dies to build a complex product, instead of designing a large and complicated monolithic die, AMD can save costs by leveraging different manufacturing technologies for every different die in the same chip, improve yields because the dies are so small and boost performance by optimizing each die for the specific type of logic that's on it.
All in all if this leak is to be believed the Ryzen 3000 series is going to be one hell of a CPU family.
