AMD's Ryzen series of CPUs has been subject to all sorts of rumors and leaks. This time, a comprehensive list of AMD Ryzen Processor range seem to have made its way to the internet.
AMD's line-up of latest processors comprises SR3, SR5 and SR7 models, which boasts 8-core, 6-core, and 4-core parts. A Chinese website, Coolaler (via Forbes) revealed data showing the model names as well, which interestingly seem identical to GPUs that were utilized in enthusiasts systems back in 2005 when AMD's GPU department was under the ATI brand.
If the leaked data is anything to go by, the SR7 range comprehensively encompassed 8-core 16-thread CPUs, the SR5 range, on the other hand, comprised 6-core, 12-thread parts, and 4-core, 8-thread models. The SR3 range; however, will exclusively work with 4-core, 4-thread CPUs.
If this comes to fruition, this could radically stir things up in the processor segment, although a lot depends on the price tag it will come bearing and performance. The R7 1800X will probably be pitted against the Core i7-6900K and 6800K processors, while the R7 1700 is placed in the class with Intel's Core i7-7700, HotHardware reported.
This definitely makes the R5 and R3 ranges more appealing, especially bearing in mind that they might come carrying similar price tags as Intel's mid-range offerings, which includes its Core i7-7700K, Core i5-7600K and several dual-cores and locked quad-cores in the Core i3 and Core i5 lineup. It's no secret that AMD can match Intel's new architectures as far as clock-for-clock performance is concerned.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen what clock speeds the newfangled CPUs will run at and exactly how much much money enthusiasts will have to shell out to get their hands on it. Taking the number of CPUs into consideration, though, the prices are likely to drastically vary from the top-notch SR7 CPUs to the SR3 range.
Aside from the imitative naming scheme, which nearly resembles previous GPUs, another thing that doesn't seem to quite make sense at the moment, is the fact that despite the large number of CPUs, they are all equipped with unlocked multipliers.
