Â
Specifications for AMD’s Ryzen 9 series of 10+ core CPUs have leaked, offering insane levels of multi-threaded performance for consumers.Â
Â
Right now leaked data suggests that AMD’s upcoming HEDT platform will come with the Ryzen 9 naming scheme and with 9 different CPU SKUs. These CPUs are said to come with 10-16 CPU cores and 20-32 threads, which is more cores than any of Intel’s existing desktop platforms.Â
Â
These new leaks suggest that AMD will be able to offer CPUs with clock speeds that are all over 3GHz, with select models boosting to 4GHz. If these leaks are correct, AMD’s HEDT platform will offer a lot of CPU performance, with up to 4 more cores than Intel’s upcoming X299 Skylake-X offerings. Â

|  | Cores | Threads | TDP | Mem | Base clock | Boost Clock | XFR |
| R9 1998X | 16 | 32 | 155W | 4x 3200MHz | 3.5GHz | 3.8GHz | +100MHz |
| R9 1998 | 16 | 32 | 3.2GHz | 3.6GHz | – | ||
| R9 1977X | 14 | 28 | 3.5GHz | 3.9GHz | +100MHz | ||

| R9 1955X | 10 | 20 | 3.6GHz | 3.9GHz | +100MHz | ||
| R9 1955 | 10 | 20 | 4x 3200MHz | 3.1GHz | 3.7GHz | – | |
| R7 1800X (AM4) | 8 | 16 | 95W | 2x 2666MHz | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | +100MHz |
Â
As can be seen in the graph above, these leaks come with some very complicated naming schemes, with X series models coming with XFR support and higher base/boost clock speeds and the CPU’s core count being double the final number in the CPU’s name.Â
This naming scheme is not exactly user-friendly, though to say the least a 10+ core CPU is simply beyond the requirements of most PC users.Â
Â
AMD will be hosting their Financial Analyst Day tomorrow, May 16th, where AMD are expected to reveal their Naples server platform and other new HEDT CPUs. This event will be detailing a lot of AMD’s upcoming 2017 product lineup, with AMD’s new “threadripper”/”Whitehaven” platform being expected to make an appearance.Â
