AMD Ryzen Processor with 12 Cores and 24 Threads Spotted
There's not a day that goes by with something Ryzen. We talked 32,16, 8, 6 and 4 core processors, we can now add a 12-core version as well. Hey, when it rains it pours.
As it seems, a 12-core processor is in the works, Not a server chip but once again a product for a high performance desktop. It features a new socket and has its turbo clock set at 3.2 GHz, as Videocardz spotted, for this engineering sample test run. It is safe to say it would be a cut-down version of the 16-core processor. This 12 core / 24 threaded CPU would / could most likely be intended for AMD’s HEDT X390 platform. The PC detected with this CPU is an Alienware Area-51 R3.
The processor is listed as an Engineering sample under code 2D2701A9UC9F4_32/27_N (2N 6M 24T 2.7GHz, 12x 512kB L2, 8x 8MB L3).
| AMD 2D2701A9UC9F4_32/27_N Engineering Sample | ||
|---|---|---|
| Value | What does it stand for? | Explanation |
| 2 | Engineering Sample Generation | 1: 1st Gen, 2: 2nd Gen, Z: Qual. Sample |
| D | Platform | S: Server, D: Desktop |
| 270 | Base frequency | 2.7 GHz |
| 1 | Revision | 1st Revision |
| A9 | TDP | A2: 95W, AU: 65W, A9: ? |
| U | Socket | M = AM4, V = SP3, U = ? |
| C | Numbers of cores | hexadecimal C = 12 decimal |
| 9 | Cache configuration | Sisoft: 12x 512kB L2, 8x 8MB L3 |
| F4 | Stepping | E4 = A-Step, F4 = B-Step |
| 32/27 | Turbo / Base Clock | 3.2 / 2.7 GHz |
The entry was spotted in the SiSoft Sandra ranking database.

I suppose it is futile to hope for a 6-core X390 with performance close to the 1500 R5?

not linked in term of aviability... just 2nd generation
If Ryzen is 1st gen then it might be an evolution as the "blah blah blah -E" for Intel.
Most strange thing is the socket... maybe AM44 for high end if AMD copy Intel even there, in the name sheme
2nd gen means what exactly? In terms of availability? 2018? or late 2017?

Looks like Napels to me in a single socket form much like SBE.

I'm with the teacher here. Guru3d is a great site but a lack of oversight and proof-reading makes it appear like a 2nd-rate one.
Someone should definitely double-check the spelling.
It's save to say your knowledge isn't pour

Hilbert Hagedoorn mother language is not English. On the rush to get an article out or in many cases short time to do so, mistakes happen. Show me your tech news site doing better please? Oh right, you don't have one.

Well, this is not FB, so maybe having someone that speaks english natively proof reading wouldn't be bad..

Oh I was in a bit of a rush yesterday, you know .. free Saturday and an appointment an all. But next time I could just skip writing the news item if you all are so bothered by few grammar issues every now and then.
Anyway fixed.

the majority of us appreciate what you are doing, Hilbert. Your English is better than my pitiful attempts to speak a second language, with that I do find it easier to forgive spelling and grammatical errors.
the people complaining do raise a valid point though, it comes across as less professional than other online publications. I'd have taken it as constructive criticism instead of an attack on you personally.
Whatever happens, I will continue to support the site and your journalism. the content is very good

I agree, cannot see the point of people barking out aloud about grammar! The odd mistake now and then is going to happen, even more so when its a job! The more you type, the more likely. Great to see, Hilbert you are a human being.
And look at the kids today, what grammar?

Grammatical errors are something that us older folk usually complain about. It is much more prevalent today than it was 10, 20 or 30 years ago. Hilbert does a better job than most but no one is perfect.
My old school of thought and teaching was that accuracy showed professionalism, not to mention getting my ass chewed for making grammatical errors many times. I do still value accuracy but making minor mistakes in grammar doesn't affect professionalism IMO anymore.
I laugh to myself everyday when I read or see grammatical errors. But I laugh not only at the error/author, but also at myself for being an old fart and saying, "the good ole days"! LOL
So for a couple laughs now ; )
"There's not a day that goes by with something Ryzen." LOL @ Hilbert
There's not a day that goes by without something Ryzen. LOL @ Lex
Keep up the timely news Hilbert and keep the feedback flowing Guru's.
P.S. I swear Superman mispelled that...

I'm more than happy to read some news at weekends because everywhere is dead. Don't listen to some knucklehead and keep doing your thing.
You're not using "your" instead of "you're" like 90% of Americans

As a non-native speaker myself, I don't visit here for learning more English. But I probably have anyway.
Maybe I am more lenient, but typos or grammar mistakes has rarely had big impact to understand the content and context of articles. To be honest I can't remember once on this site, where the writing has in any way effected me negatively.
Though I have friend that can't help himself correcting any language mistake. I guess that is OK. So I think it is more a case of that
