New AMD 16 Core Ryzen Whitehaven Engineering Samples Surface
We have talked about 12-core and 16-core HEDT processors being released in the near future from AMD a couple of times already. That rumor is still indicating a possible Computext time-frame for launch. AMD hasn't mentioned or confirmed that whatsoever obviously, but new engineering samples entries have been spotted.
While software like AIDA already is preliminary supporting 12-core / 24 threaded and 16-core / 32 threaded AMD Ryzen processors, other details remains scarce. The This processor series 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.
New code-names of engineering samples however have leaked including the Hardware IDs which you can derrive specs from, the 16 core parts (32-threads) would get a clock of 3.0 GHz with a boost to 3.6 GHz, and that is rather amazing for a many-core CPU series.
The CPUs get code-name Whitehaven.
| CPU ID | Boost Clock | Base Clock | Cores | Threads | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2D3101A8UGAF4_36/31_N | 3,6 GHz | 3,1 GHz | 16 | 32 | AMD Whitehaven |
| 1D3101A8UGAF3_36/31_N | 3,6 GHz | 3,1 GHz | 16 | 32 | AMD Whitehaven |
| 2D2701A9UC9F4_32/27_N | 3,2 GHz | 2,7 GHz | 12 | 24 | Alienware R3 |
| AMD | Whitehaven | Summit Ridge (Ryzen) |
|---|---|---|
| Cores | up-to 16 | up-to 8 |
| Threads | up-to 32 | up-to 16 |
| Base Clock | 3,1GHz | 3,6GHz |
| Boost Clock | 3,6GHz | 4,0GHz |
| L3 Cache | 32 MB | 16 MB |
| TDP | N/A | 95 W |
| DDR4 channels | 4 | 2 |
| Socket | S3 (SP3r2 LGA) | AM4 (PGA) |
| Launch | Summer 2017 | Available |

Wow! What about prices on these things I am assuming its going up against Xeons no so possibly $599.99 - $699.99? Amd has really suprised me this last year I wish them all the best to catch-up with Intel.
I am interested in the upcoming Apu from Ryzen as well, just wish they had a little more wiggle room say 4.5 Ghz? Oh well cant have it all I guess.

With these Whiteheaven CPU's they will shake up Intel a bit for sure. What is more important is that buyers will get "more bang for the buck" .

Good times ahead of us
, more work for Hilbert 
more fun for us
and hopefully a real drop in price to performance "wishful thinking" but hey it's OK to dream

Then Dual-Socket board... And crazy cool workstations at Ryzenable prices.

Exciting times for AMD and for consumers as well. As long as there is decent competition, there will be progress, and lower prices as well
