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.

Good stuff. I can see myself going AMD next time. Moar cores!

Maybe my next AMD cpu will be 16 cores then
Zen+ and make this one htpc. Good plan yes.

1800x as an htpc...you Sr. like to have overkill builds.
This surely will be half the cost of current Intel parts at close to the same performance

I am amazed with the clock speeds. These will be very interesting chips.

If they give us 64 lanes in the x399 my x79 is going in the garbage.. day one buy

For sure. I'd love to get more of them precious PCI-e lanes......

CPU LIneups
The CPU line-ups should have been like this 4-5 years ago as far has how many cores are in low to high end mainstream and HEDT CPU's. I have to hand it to AMD they are doing a bang up job. Pretty nice seeing 8 cores is now mainstream and 12-16 is going to be HEDT. We will have Intel pushing 4 core HEDT with Kabylake-x here shortly. I bet the Intel engineers are rolling there eyes at there bosses with that I told you that was a dumb idea look.

Good thing you and the engineers are not the ones running things at Intel...

Quad channel memory.. Would have been nice to see with AM4, but great news regardless. About time Intel lost their lock on the market.

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
