INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
AMD's Ryzen 3000 processors are blowing up the CPU market, with loads of cores and incredible performance
Plus, there are a lot of different models
And, there might be a Ryzen 7 3750X inbound, according to a leaked product master list spotted by @Komachi_Ensaka on Twitter.The master list
has since been taken down on AMD's website, but Hot Hardware was able to dig up the details
What showed up was a Ryzen 7 3750X with no details beyond its 105W power draw and its fitment into an AM4 CPU socket.Given that the Ryzen 7
3750X would fit snugly between the 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X and the 8-core Ryzen 7 3800X, it's a safe bet the processor will also be an 8-core
The only problem is that it's a bit too snug of a fit between those two chips.AMD is doing an impressive job putting its Zen 2 processor
architecture into products that hit all different price points and performance levels, whether that's the Ryzen 5 3600 or the Ryzen 9
But, the Ryzen 7 models in the 3000 series already have things pretty well covered.As we mentioned, the Ryzen 7 3700X and 3800X both are
They also have the same amount of cache
The former has a 65W TDP and the latter hits 105W
While none of these specs mean there couldn't be a 3750X fit neatly between them, their clock speeds are a tighter fit
The Ryzen 7 3800X has a base clock just 300MHz higher than the 3700X, and its boost speed is just 100MHz higher.For a Ryzen 7 3750X to fit
in, it would only be able to offer a marginal improvement in base clocks and a tiny improvement in boost before it basically just became a
3800X.All this is to say, you're probably not going to see a Ryzen 7 3750X on store shelves between AMD's other processors
Perhaps it will show up in pre-built systems, giving OEMs the ability to offer rigs with just a little more juice.
