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).

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.
