16-core Ryzen part would reportedly run at 3.1 GHz base and 3.6 GHz Turbo
Last week we reported on a new rumor that AMD is working on a high-end desktop 16 core 32 threaded Ryzen processor series. These processors initially have been reported with a low base-clock in the 2.4 to 2.8 GHz range. It's reported that this 16-core and 32-treaded beast would do a 3.1 GHz base and 3.6 GHz Turbo frequency, yep that is like two R7 1700 CPUs.
This processor would be quad-channel compatible. The TDP for this product would sit in the 150 to 180 Watt range. So basically the package holds 4 CCXs.The processor would need an enthusiast chipset called X399 with socket (Land Grid Array) SP3r2 LGA and thus likely a spin-off from the server series. This platform and processor might become available in the next 4 to 6 months. This new information might be true, but take this one with a grain of salt please. If true, that would be an awesome processor series, bit I cannot help feeling it seems a bit unlikely.

This would be a beast if it holds, for sure. Something definitely worthy of a 1000-1200 price tag. If AMD comes in below 1000, that's a stunner.

Heck if this thing could OC to 3.9-4 Ghz on 16 cores man that would be a good boost. Also this thing could be very useful for those Users who do alot with Virtual Machines.

As much as i would hope to see the 16c/32t SKU staying under $1000, i am doubtful that it will.
AMD would be the first to create a "desktop grade" (this excludes Xeon and Opteron classes of CPU) 16c/32t chip. That fact alone will make them want to charge top dollar for it.
I'd be very interested in it for my virtual server lab, if funds would allow it.

I dont think anyone wants to see AMD start pulling the same thing INTEL does as it will drive prices up not down.
With AMD actual being able to compete for once, I like many are hoping to seeing pricing war.

That would be an absolute monster as a workstation machine for developers, video editing, 3D modelling etc
Just got my 1700X yesterday and TBH, once I've got it overclocked it will be more than enough machine for me compared with my OC'd 2500k.
Something like that 16 core beast would be great for work though, currently running a 5820k @ 4.2Ghz for software development but more cores would be very welcome given it takes 30 minutes to do a full rebuild of our software on this machine.
