The Swiss retailer digitec.ch has listed AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9 3950X processor with a release date of September 30th. This suggests that AMD’s flagship AM4 Zen 2 processor will release at the end of this month; before Intel has a chance to release their i9-9900KS or X299’s Cascade Lake series of processors. Â
With the Ryzen 9 3950X, AMD is bringing Threadripper-like core counts to AM4, complete with the IPC gains and efficiency gains that their Zen 2 architecture and 7nm manufacturing has provided. Below are the specifications of AMD’s Ryzen 3rd Generation (Zen 2) processors.Â
