AMD Ryzen 9 with 16 cores is coming
Galactic
The Zen 2 microarchitecture, implemented in the 7 nm lithographic process, is likely to double the number of cores in AMD processors. Here is the alleged combination of Ryzen 3000 processors.
Thai PC enthusiast TUM_APISAK confirmed the existence of the Ryzen 9 series having landed himself with an engineering sample of the 16-core/32-thread chip that ticks at 3.30 GHz with 4.30 GHz Precision Boost frequency.
Assuming that the above information is true - a proportional increase in cores applies to each price category and there should be no cheaper proposals. The new Ryzen 7 could have cores 12, and the new Ryzen 5 - eight.
