Six-core Ryzen 3000 CPU pricing to start at £100 - if retailer's leak is accurate

Entry-level Ryzen 3 3300 will offer six cores and twelve threads for £100, while 5GHz Ryzen 5 3600X will cost £180

The prices and specifications of AMD's forthcoming Ryzen 3000 CPUs have been leaked by a retailer in Singapore, indicating aggressive pricing for the 7nm parts, which are expected to be launched in July.

That, of course, is if the leak from retailer Bizgram, as reported by Tom's Hardware, proves to be accurate.

It indicates that the Ryzen 3 3000 chips - dubbed Ryzen 3 3300, 3300X and 3300G - will all offer six cores, 12 threads and clock speeds of around 4GHz for pricing between £100 and £130, including 20 per cent VAT.

The ‘G' suffixed devices will include integrated graphics based on AMD's forthcoming Navi architecture. The Ryzen 3 3300G will offer a 3GHz base clock speed and boost clock of 3.8GHz for the same price as the Ryzen 3 3300X - £130.

The trio of Ryzen 5 3000 devices, meanwhile, will offer eight cores and 16 threads, with the Ryzen 5 3600X offering a clock speed of 4GHz and 4.8GHzfor £235, including VAT - compared to £180 for the slightly slower Ryzen 5 3600.

Among just two Ryzen 7 3000 CPUs is the Ryzen 7 3700X, which will boost-clock all the way up to 5GHz for the premium price of £335, including VAT. Both Ryzen 7 CPUs will offer 12 cores and 24 threads.

However, the Ryzen 7 parts aren't the top-of-the-range - that will go to the two Ryzen 9 3000 CPUs that AMD is planning on introducing, both of which will offer 16 cores and 32 threads. These include the Ryzen 9 3800X, with a base clock speed of 3.9GHz and boost clock of 4.7GHz; and the Ryzen 9 3850X, which will offer a base speed of 4.3GHz, but be capable of boosting to 5.1GHz.

The price for the two Ryzen 9 CPUs won't be cheap, if the Bizgram leak is anything to be believed: just under £460, including VAT for the Ryzen 9 3800X; and, £510 for the Ryzen 9 3850X, also including VAT.
