Today, however, VideoCardZ have posted that they have received an anonymous tip/ leaked slide of AMD’s next top tier chip, The Ryzen R9 3950X.
This new CPU will be the “World’s First 16 Core Gaming CPU” as per the slide. This slide if true confirms the rumor that was floating since Computex 2019.
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X would utilize all available cores from both dies. This 105W TDP part will have 16 Cores running at a 3.5 GHz base and 4.7 GHz base along with 72MB of total cache. This makes it a prime candidate for a gaming/streaming/workstation setup.
The authenticity of the slide has been confirmed so it’s only a matter of official confirmation by AMD at this point.
