AMD's upcoming Zen 2 based Ryzen processors have been teased by an official AMD Ryzen CPU sales agency, as reported by Videocardz (via HardwareBattle). The report mentions that not only were the next-generation processors teased, but a contest was hosted by the same sales agency that allowed users to take part in and win receive a Ryzen 3000 series chip, obviously when they launch.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X, Zen 2 Based 7nm Desktop CPUs Teased in Contest

The contest simply asked users to post their performance guesstimates of the upcoming Ryzen 3000 series processors. The benchmark chosen for this contest was Cinebench R15 and everyone was to mention both single and multi-core performance guesstimates for the Ryzen 3000 series CPUs.

Note: The competition was terminated by the sales agency since many different portals were taking the numbers posted by users as official Ryzen 3000 series performance. Hence, those people who participated would now be getting a Ryzen themed cube and a Starbucks coffee cupon instead.

The CPUs that were mentioned in the contest include the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X. We can tell from the naming scheme that these are successors to the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X which launched earlier this year. The Ryzen 7 2700X features 8 cores and 16 threads while the Ryzen 5 2600X features 6 cores and 12 threads. We can't say for sure what the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X specifications would be like but we can take a look at some recent speculation, detailing the mentioned processors.
