AMD reportedly planning to release Ryzen 7 3750X and 3850X “Mattise Refresh” processors
Right now, rumours are spreading news of Ryzen 7 3850X and 3750X processors, CPUs which presumably offer users higher performance levels than AMD’s existing Ryzen 7 3800X and 3700X products. With these new processors, performance increased will likely come in the form of higher core clock speeds, though other minor performance changes could be possible.Â
At this time, it is unknown if these rumours are legitimate, but a recently leaked slide from Gigabyte has “Mattise and Refresh” listed under AMD’s Ryzen 3000 series product line.Â
AMD’s Ryzen 7 3850X and 3750X processors may be a planned counter to Intel’s Comet Lake series of desktop processors, offering buyers a clock speed bump and competitive pricing to help secure more sales for team AMD. This would then allow AMD to lower the pricing of existing Ryzen 7 series processors, creating an even more competitive CPU landscape for consumers. Combine this with the release of B550, and AMD has a huge opportunity to make more market share gains against Intel through AMD’s combination of high-value CPUs and motherboards.Â

At this time, it is unknown whether or not AMD has Ryzen 7 3750X and 3850X processors in the works. Even if they do exist, it is possible that they could be OEM-only CPU SKUs, restricted to pre-built systems or custom system manufacturers. With Zen 3 being slated for a late 2020 release, why would AMD release new high-end Ryzen 3000 CPUs now?Â
