AMD Ryzen 1400 and 1200 CPU specifications leak
AMD Ryzen 1400 and 1200 CPU specifications leak
Specification for AMD’s Ryzen 3 1400 and 1200 CPU have been leaked, with the R3 1200 coming without SMT with both CPUs coming with clock speeds of 3.4GHz or under.
While these specifications may seem low for some, it must be remembered that these CPUs are both intended to be low-end SKUs, with the AMD R5 1500X coming as AMD’s high-end Ryzen quad-core. Ryzen 5 CPUs will be releasing in Q2 2017, though at this time AMD has not revealed when their lower-end quad-core CPUs will be released.
If Canard PC’s leaked specifications are correct, both the 1400 and 1200 will feature base clock speeds of around 3.2GHz, with a boost clock speed of 3.4GHz. Like all Ryzen CPUs these models will also support overclocking, which could turn these CPUs into real budget performers.
| Processor Name | Cores | Threads | Base Clock Speeds | Boost Clock Speeds | TDP | Price UK |
| Ryzen 7 1800X | 8 | 16 | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | 95W | £489 |
| Ryzen 7 1700X | 8 | 16 | 3.4GHz | 3.8GHz | 95W | £389 |
| Ryzen 7 1700 | 8 | 16 | 3.0GHz | 3.7GHz | 65W | £319 |
| Ryzen 5 1600X | 6 | 12 | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | – | – |
| Ryzen 5 1500X | 4 | 8 | 3.5GHz | 3.7GHz | – | – |
While pricing has not been announced for AMD’s Ryzen 5 1600X and 1500X we expect these CPUs to come with prices of around £240 and £180 respectively, though this is just an estimate.
These lower end SKUs will likely be price competitive with Intel’s i3 series CPUs and low-end i5 CPUs, which will make these CPUs very attractive to gamers given Intel’s lack of overclocking support on non-k SKUs.
With clock speeds of 3.2/3.4GHz is almost certain that the Ryzen 1200 and 1400 won’t be able to outperform Intel’s i7 7700K or i5 7600K at stock clock speeds, though it is worth noting that these Ryzen processors will be priced significantly lower than their Intel counterparts, so relative performance is a moot point.
