Over in Asia, HWBattle posted a photo showing a competition that mentions the Ryzen 7 3700X & Ryzen 5 3600X. That contest requires participants to guess Cinebnech score for yet unreleased Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 5 3600X CPUs.

It's a bit of a weird thing to see and read really, the contest ends on December 14th. Please do not confuse that the actual Ryzen 3000 series release. Videocardz had a chat with HWBattle and apparently the contest was neither posted by a PR agency and neither the AMD employees working on behalf of AMD. They have been told this is merely a CPU sales agency hired by AMD to do local events and contests. Weird right? Apparently, the winners of the competition would win ... Ryzen 3000 CPUs, however after the procs are released.

Well, there's your marketing viral for the weekend :-)
