AMD's Ryzen 3000 series processors based on the Zen 2 architecture have yet again been listed by an online retailer in Singapore. The retailer has not only listed down the upcoming processors but also mentioned the prices of the processors which have yet to hit the market, which if (and a big if) correct can really disrupt the mainstream desktop segment yet again.
AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs Listed Along With Prices By Singaporean Retailer - 16 Cores For As Low As $500 US, 12 Cores Starting at $336 US, 8 Cores at $200 US and 6 Cores at $110 US
From the looks of it, this is the second listing which features the same processors last listed down by a Russian retailer back in January. The only difference is that the processors are now listed with their prices or should we say, placeholders. As we mentioned last time, the specificationsand CPUs listed by the retailer seem to be a placeholder but since we are seeing these being mentioned on various channels, there might just be some legitimacy to it. Still, it's advised to take all of this info with a grain of salt until AMD officially shares the specifications and part names of their upcoming Zen 2 based processor lineup.
Based on the Singaporean retailer's listing (via Tomshardware), it looks like AMD is allegedlygoing to offer at least 10 Ryzen 3000 CPUs. Just like last time, we have the Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 and the new Ryzen 9 parts which are mentioned here. The Ryzen 9 parts are obviously a nod at Intel's Core i9 parts which were introduced back in 2018 on the mainstream LGA 1151 platform. AMD, of course, wants to take on Intel's high core count mainstream processors with their own Zen 2 based High Core count offerings with twice as many cores.

AMD’s Zen 2 architecture would deliver the first 7nm desktop processors, improving the chip architecture and increasing the IPC from the previous generation. AMD will also be adding in efficiency improvements to the new processors achieved through the new process node that allows for higher clock speeds.
