There's not a day that we’re not talking about AMD Ryzen. According to a rumor that originated from the SiSoft Sandra database, AMD is already working on a new high-end Ryzen CPU with codename "Whitehaven". The new processor will come in variations with up to 16 cores and 32 threads and will support quad-channel DDR4 memory.


A few months ago we reported a leak from CanardPC about an alleged AMD Ryzen processor with 16 cores and 32 threads. According to SiSoft Sandra’s database, it looks like AMD is going to release a new flagship CPU with up to 16 cores and 32 threads and the base/boost clock speeds are set to 3.1GHz and 3.6GHz. So far it looks like the TDP is going to be 95W, which means that the clock speeds under full load are as high as they can be in the case of standard cooling methods. So far the CPU is referred to as "2D3101A8UGAF4_36/31_N".

The new AMD X399 platform might use the socket SP3r2 LGA (Land Grid Array). Compared to AMD Naples - the server part - we find a lower core count and less memory channels. In the case of Naples there are CPUs with up to 32 cores and 64 threads in combination with an eight-channel DDR4 memory interface. AMD’s X399 chipset might bring quad-channel DDR4 memory support and it looks like it’s directly going to compete with Intel's X99 and X299 platform.

Apparently the current Ryzen chips will not be compatible with the new socket. According to Chiphell, AMD might release this new flagship platform during Computex 2017. Since we have already seen some leaks regarding Intel’s X299, the upcoming Computex 2017 might turn out very interesting. But as of now all the information here has to be taken with a grain of salt since nothing is confirmed yet.
