We may have little details about AMD's upcoming Ryzen 3000 CPUs and Radeon Navi GPUs but it looks like we may be hearing a lot more about them sooner rather than later. According to a new report from RedGamingTech, they have been told that AMD will be launching three new product platforms which include Ryzen 3000, X570 and Radeon Navi in July.

AMD Ryzen 3000 Desktop CPUs, X570 Mainstream Motherboard Platform and Radeon Navi GPUs Launch Rumored For 7th July

The source reports that just like Radeon VII that got the 7th February release date which clearly highlighted the 7nm process technology featured on the card, the 7th July (7/7/2019) release to emphasize the use of 7nm across all AMD mainstream families (GPU & CPU). It's a really great marketing approach for AMD. Also what's interesting to note here the mentioned date is for the release which means AMD would probably make an announcement earlier.

Computex 2019 looks to be the best platform for AMD to announce their new mainstream lineups. Last year at Computex, AMD announced their 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper processors that became available in August 2018, almost two months later. For the upcoming 7nm products, AMD will give us a month before actual availabilitycommences if the rumor is accurate.

We have already heard plans of various announcements regarding the Ryzen 3000 series so we might just get to see Zen 2 in action at the AMD press conference. Computex would also give partners of AMD to show-case their new motherboards which will also be announced at the event. Now let's talk about the upcoming product families starting off with Ryzen 3000.

AMD Ryzen 3000 & X570 Motherboards Specs, Prices, and Launch - Zen 2 Architecture, More Cores, Higher Perf/Watt, Improved IPC, and 7nm Process Design

At CES 2019, AMD announced Mattise, also known as the 3rd Generation Ryzen Desktop Processor family. AMD confirmed that the CPUs will be available around mid of 2019 which goes in line with the rumored release date of 7th July 2019. AMD Ryzen 3000 series desktop processors as they will be labeled will be using the latest TSMC 7nm process node and the brand new Zen 2 architecture which focuses on providing higher IPC and improved efficiency over the 12nm Zen + architecture that currently resides within the Ryzen 2000 series desktop processors.

AMD's first official demo of their Ryzen 3000 mainstream desktop processors was an 8 core, 16 thread chip, pitted against the 8 core and 16 thread Intel Core i9-9900K. Not only did the AMD Ryzen 3000 series desktop processor had a slight edge in completing the multi-threaded Cine-Bench R15 benchmark, but it also managed to do so consuming almost 50W less power.

That is incredible considering in just a generation, AMD will manage to outpace Intel in overall efficiency that is something Intel had been leading for many generations but their stagnant progress and heavy reliance on 14nm process has led AMD to top their rivals in performance per watt and just pure raw performance too.

While AMD showed an 8 core, 16 thread part, there are also higher core count parts expected. In later chip and die shots, It was confirmed that AMD could feature a second Zen 2 die on the chip, which would allow for up to 16 cores and 32 threads on a mainstream part. There have been leaks of multiple 12 core parts and yes, higher core count parts on mainstream platforms are coming in with Ryzen 3000 series.

As with every Ryzen launch, the prices will play a huge factor in determining their popularity. The 1st and 2nd Generation Ryzen chips were fantastic when it came to their value proposition. Not only did they feature higher core counts than their counterparts but they also managed to run cooler and consumed lower power. This would obviously get better with the Ryzen 3000 series it looks like AMD will offer much better prices for each of their respective core count mode.

The 8 core models can sell for around $199-$299 while the 12 core parts can go for $399 and finally, the 16 core parts can end up around $499. The reason we will be looking at such good prices is thatunlikeThreadripper CPUs which use a bigger PCB and four dies (based on EPYC layout), the Ryzen CPUs will only be featuring 2 dies and that saves up space and design costs. Also, the 6 core and 4 core parts may end up under the $150-$200 US bracket which would make them an ideal choice for budget users.
