AMD preps new Ryzen XT CPUs — Ryzen 5 3600XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT & Ryzen 9 3900XT with enhanced Core Clocks & OC Support!
They’re expected to release on 16th June along with AMD’s Renoir Desktop APUs
Around 24 hours ago, News surfaced that AMD’s upcoming Matisse Refresh are in works, namely: the Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, Ryzen 5 3600XT.
According to Wccftech, AMD is about to launch the Matisse Refresh with the Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, Ryzen 5 3600XT processors. The new Ryzen 3000 series CPUs would adopt the “XT” branding, something that Radeon fans will remember and love to see back in the ring.
The new rumor has AMD replacing the Ryzen 9 3900X, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 5 3600X with the new Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, Ryzen 5 3600XT processors — with increased the CPU clocks, enhanced overclocking support, and by dropping the price on the current-gen CPUs that they replace.
Ryzen 9 3900XT — 12C/24T + faster clocks + enhanced OC support
Ryzen 7 3800XT — 8C/16T + faster clocks + enhanced OC support
Ryzen 5 3600XT — 6C/12T + faster clocks + enhanced OC support
These new CPUs would compete directly against Intel’s latest Comet Lake processors, in the just-launched Core i9–10900K, Core i7–10700K, and Core i5–10600K.
Starting off with what to expect from the Matisse Refresh family, the core configuration is going to remain the same. The Ryzen 9 3900XT will feature 12 cores and 24 threads, the Ryzen 7 3800XT will feature 8 cores and 16 threads while the Ryzen 5 3600XT will feature 6 cores and 12 threads. What is interesting is that all three CPUs will feature higher clock speeds & enhanced overclock support. Sources also suggest that the boost algorithms for the new CPUs are more tightly tuned which should result in 5–10% performance improvement over existing parts.
We could be looking at a clock speed bump anywhere around 200–300 MHz but we cannot confirm the actual clock speeds for now. What we do know is that in terms of pricing, the new Ryzen 3000 CPUs will be priced the same as existing parts while the original Matisse chips will be getting huge price cuts. The Ryzen 3000 Desktop CPUs have already seen some impressive deals and retailer-specific price cuts over several months but the latest cut would be an official one from AMD. Other than that, we can expect a new bundle promo to go along nicely with the Matisse Refresh family. In the current Ryzen Game promo, buyers get an option of up to 2 AAA games and a 3 months Xbox Game Pass for PC with a select Ryzen 3000 series CPU.
As for when should we expect the launch of these processors, the AMD Ryzen 3000 ‘Matisse Refresh’ CPU family is expected to be announced on the 16th of June with an official release/sales embargo set for 7th of July.
The AMD Ryzen 3000 ‘Matisse Refresh’ family wouldn’t be the last Zen 2 based parts that we get to see as AMD’s Ryzen 4000 ‘Renoir’ Desktop APUs are also planned for an official announcement in June. We could definitely see AMD announcing both series together. All of these Zen 2 processors will be the last to hit the AM4 desktop platform before AMD unveils its next-generation Zen 3 based Ryzen 4000 ‘Vermeer’ Desktop CPUs which are expected to arrive later this year. We will try to get hold of the full specifications for the chips so stay tuned.
