AMD Ryzen lineup consists of 17 processors with quad, hexa and octacores

The Chinese website Coolaler has published a list of the names and model numbers of the upcoming AMD Ryzen processors. According to the website, there will be 17 different models, although only the high-end R7 CPUs will be available at the release on March 2.

According to the list, there are five octacores coming out in the R7 series. In all cases, these are processors with eight cores and sixteen threads. The base clock speed will be between 3.0 and 3.6GHz, the processors also have a boost speed, but that is not known. The top model is the R7 1800X. There is also a Ryzen R7 Pro 1800. It is not yet clear what the designations X and Pro mean. AMD has indicated that all Ryzen processors are suitable for overclocking; the X variants may have been specially selected for this or have a slightly higher speed.

The R5 series consists of hexacores with twelve threads and quadcores with eight threads. There are four models of each with a base clock between 3.2 and 3.5 GHz. Finally, there is the R3 series, with quad-cores without simultaneous multithreading, which have four threads. Also in the R5 and R3 series there are models with an X and Pro designation. The Cooleral list shows for a number of chips with which Intel processors the AMD variants are comparable. According to the website, this is a comparison based on performance, not price.

Coolaler says AMD will start selling Ryzen processors on March 2. Initially, only the high-end R7 models would hit the market. It is unknown when the R5 and R3 models will follow. It is also not yet clear what the processors will cost. The aforementioned sales start corresponds to what AMD indicated during the presentation of the quarterly figures earlier this week. CEO Lisa Su said Ryzen will launch in early March.

It is not certain whether Coolaler’s information is correct, but the Chinese website has previously published accurate information about processors that had not yet been released. The naming of the processors also corresponds to earlier rumors, which stated that AMD would use the designations SR3, SR5 and SR7 internally.
