AMD introduces two more Ryzen 3000 processors that it did not show during the keynote. It concerns the Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X. Both are hexacores with twelve threads and a 95W TDP for the 3600X and 65W for the 3600.
All processors support standard DDR4 memory with clock speeds of 3200MT/s (JEDEC) and AMD will bundle them with Wraith Prism coolers for the three most expensive models. Ryzen 5 3600 is bundled with a Wraith Stealth and the 3600X with a Wraith Spire. The 3600 costs 199 dollars and the 3600X must cost 249 dollars. The three third-generation Ryzen processors are produced at 7nm and will be available from 7 July. At the same time, manufacturers are releasing AM4 motherboards with the new X570 chipset. Among other things, it offers extra PCIe 4.0 lanes. With a firmware update, the Ryzen 3000 processors also work on X470 motherboards.
