With CES 2019 less than a week away, AMD’s new Ryzen 9 CPU specifications seem to be leaking out thanks to a Russian ecommerce site. While the chipsets and their specs cannot be fully confirmed, the appearance of the information directly before CES is likely more than just a coincidence. The new Ryzen 3000 series is said to operate on the company’s latest Zen 2 architecture, bringing the first 7nm desktop processors to consumers with blazing fast speeds.
The biggest highlight of the leak is, without a doubt, the Ryzen 9 3800Z, a suped-up processor that features an impressive 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 3.9GHz and a TurboCore frequency of up to 4.7GHz — that is twice the number of cores currently included in AMD’s current mainstream flagship processor, the Ryzen 7 2700X. The chip is expected to run hotter than previous generation chips with a TDP of 125W, a significant increase from the last 95W TDP.
If 16 cores is a bit too much, you might fancy the AMD Ryzen 7 3700 and 3700X CPUs which feature 12 cores and a TurboCore frequency of up to 5GHz. While not showstopping as the Ryzen 9 3800X, the new 3700 series will still offer up a faster clock speed with four additional cores when compared to the previously mentioned 2700X. We expect to see a lot of excited AMD-gamers picking up the new 3700 chipsets for their machines as it will likely come in at a respectable price point.
Lastly, those who aren’t out hunting down the most cores they can find will still find respect in leaks that point to new Ryzen 5 offerings — the 3600 and 3600X. Both chipsets in the Ryzen 5 lineup will see an upgrade to a total of eight cores featuring 16 threads. The 3600 is said to feature a clock speed of 3.6GHz with a 4.4GHz boost clock, while the 3600X features a bit more power with a 4GHz standard clock speed and a slightly higher boost clock of 4.8GHz.
The new Ryzen offerings are significant for their 7nm CPU size, which features an improved execution pipeline, 256-bit floating point, half the energy per operation, improved branch prediction, a larger cache, and higher throughput for all CPU modes. For those who don’t speak in electrical engineering terms, the Ryzen 7nm CPU is offering fast performance in a really small package.

The paper, published on arXiv with the evocative title Reasoning Models Generate Societies of Thought, posits that these models don't merely compute; they implicitly simulate a "multi-agent" interaction. Imagine a boardroom full of experts tossing ideas around, challenging each other's assumptions, and looking at a problem from different angles before finally agreeing on the best answer. That is essentially what is happening inside the code. The researchers found that these models exhibit "perspective diversity," meaning they generate conflicting viewpoints and work to resolve them internally, much like a team of colleagues debating a strategy to find the best path forward.
