AMD Ryzen 5 3000 Series Lineup Detailed
AMD at its 2019 Computex keynote unveiled its Ryzen 3000 series desktop processors with the more glamorous Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 SKUs while glossing over its more high-volume Ryzen 5 3000 series. It turns out that AMD will launch even these chips on the 7th of July. The Ryzen 5 lineup includes the 3600X and 3600. Both these chips are 6-core/12-thread, and AMD is taking the fight to Intel's 9th generation Core i5 series by not touching the core-count and instead focusing on higher IPC and clock-speeds than Intel's offerings.
The Ryzen 5 3600X ticks at 3.80 GHz, with a boost frequency of 4.40 GHz, which is among the highest in the lineup. Its TDP is rated at 95W. The Ryzen 5 3600 is the 'cooler' offering of the two, with 3.60 GHz nominal and 4.20 GHz boost clocks, and 65W TDP. You get the same 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, as the 8-core Ryzen 7 series offerings. AMD is expected to price the two along expected lines, with the 3600X going for roughly USD $239, and the 3600 at $199.

You can consolidate information into one piece you know. Especially if it is already there in a single one.
How about a table with both current and upcoming Ryzen 5 specs:
Ryzen 5 3600X | 6 cores / 12 threads | 3.8/4.4 GHz | 95W | $249
Ryzen 5 3600 | 6 cores / 12 threads | 3.6/4.2 GHz | 65W | $199
Ryzen 5 2600X | 6 cores / 12 threads | 3.6/4.2 GHz | 95W | $229
Ryzen 5 2600 | 6 cores / 12 threads | 3.4/3.9 GHz | 65W | $199
The sanity check should have been applied when this 'leaker' (did Adored make it up himself?) revealed that the 12-core had a 4.2Ghz BASE clock and the 16-core had a 4.3Ghz base clock. It turns out the purported (fanfiction) base clock of the 12-core was only 400Mhz lower than it's real BOOST clock!
- His SKUs were all wrong, core counts weren't moved down a stack
- APU info was totally wrong, prices were off massively (there is no miracle $99 6-core, there is one that is just...double that price)
- Clocks are not just slightly lower but 400Mhz off in base and boost in some cases...
- And to round it all off, his info on Navi from the same hype December video was completely wrong.
Ban Adored as a credible news source from now on please TPU, or at least, please do not make news stories on his info. ThanksThis is a monster. Totally wipes the floor with the only Intel equivalent.
The leaks had a lot of correct information, but the SKU names and pricing obviously changed, as well as some clocks.
Since when are leaks every considered fact?
I knew a bunch of details since the end of last year, but not everything ended up being exactly as what I knew.
In fact, AMD seeded different CPU SKUs to the motherboard makers to test.
You can't say that the leaks were incorrect at the time the information what released.
I know for a fact that AMD has a lot more coming, as to why they only launched what they did today, I can't say.
The rest, both Ryzen 3000 and Navi are only about...98% wrong. So we now know that his list of every SKU, specs and prices from December was basically made up or guesses. Don't give me this cr*p 'these were targets only'. If those specs of his were targets, then AMD have had a huge failure as they missed clockspeeds by 400Mhz!! So yeah, that's totally not the case, they weren't targets, they were made up and there's no way Adored or a leaker would be privy to all that info 8 months before release. Give it up and at least distance yourself from his BS.
I don't work for AMD, so I can't tell you why they did what they did, but I guess they feel the launch parts are good enough for now.
This is for you...

So I can see where you are coming from here but... my source also said they kept everything fluid because they didn't know what Intel had. So the final decisions on clocks etc.. were made about 2 months ago. As for pricing, my source told me nothing until about 10 hours before the event. My guess was $799 for the 12-core part. But he flat out said... $499. The thing with Adored, and I don't understand it is this.. He releases a bunch of information and I would think... over time.. his sources will be discovered and silenced. Oh well... I just hope my AMD source is right on Threadripper 3rd Gen. (He says its still on the table.. just gonna be later than expected.. )
By the by, that chipset diagram hasn't been posted anywhere until today. If you look closely, you'll see there's a x8 CPU link option too...
Did AMD mention that?
@Flyordie afaik, it's still on the table. AMD hasn't told the board makers to stop working, so something must be coming out, the question is when.
And no, I don't think he lied.
It doesn't matter now, because almost nothing he said back then matches the reality today. We have no use of such leaks, even if they valid at the time.
All we can do is remember this hype train to the next time. (..yeah, as if it never happened before. :roll: )

"The infamous Adored TV leaks that drew the skeleton of AMD's 3rd generation Ryzen roadmap, referenced two desktop Ryzen 9 parts, the Ryzen 9 3800X and Ryzen 9 3850X. The 3800X is supposed to be clocked at 3.90 GHz with 4.70 GHz boost, with a TDP rating of 125W, while the 3850X tops the charts at 4.30 GHz base and a staggering 5.10 GHz boost. The rated TDP has shot up to 135W. "
TPU did quote specs from AdoredTV, "supposed"/"possibly"/"maybe" or not.
I'd rather they didn't at all.
Also, EPYC is likely eating all the best chiplets right now anyway. Better margins there, I’m sure.
