The first CPU of the new enthusiast Ryzen family was spotted several weeks back with engineering samples feature 16 cores and 32 threads tipping up.

They have offered a boost clock speed of 3.6GHz and a base clock speed of 3.0GHz. They’ve been designated the catchily named 2D3101A8UGAF4_36/31_N & 1D3101A8UGAF3_36/31_N device IDs.

The CPUs are rumoured to operate using a land grid array (pins in the socket, like Intel’s LGA sockets) as opposed to a pin grid array setup (pins on the chip) as with previous Ryzen iterations. That completely rules out the use of the previous AM4 platform meaning we’re looking at a whole new platform for the new processors.

AMD has officially confirmed that it will be present at Computex and will host a keynote to showcase its latest technologies and products.  Hosted by AMD CEO, Dr. Lisa Su and other key AMD executives will be showing off the new processors, which are expected to be very expensive.

We did a quick search on Whitehaven and found a place in Memphis where there are rather a lot of drive by shootings.
