Even before CES 2019 in January this year, rumours of a 16-core next-generation AMD Ryzen U began to circulate, but no such thing was announced at the show. Now, a few weeks before Computex 2019, those rumours are picking up steam again. Noted Thai hardware leaker TUM_APISAK has posted specifications on Twitter of what he believes to be an engineering sample of a 16-core Ryzen U. The details were discovered in the online database of a benchmark, though he hasn't stated which one. It is possible that the results are from a sample shared by AMD with motherboard manufacturers for validation ahead of the chip's official announcement, as suggested by Jim Parker of AdoredTV in the tweet's comments.

According to AMD makes final adjustments. The chip was tested on a motherboard based on the X570 platform controller. No other specifications are known, but it can be presumed that this chip s multi-threading for a total of 32 threads. The leaker has stated that he might post a screenshot of the benchmark soon.

It has previously been speculated that CES 2019 with two distinct "chiplets" on one package; one eight-core die and another modular IO die. There was obviously space for a second eight-core die on the package, making the leak somewhat expected.

AMD could announce its helped propel AMD back to a strong market position after many years trailing Intel.

Meanwhile, it's all but certain that we will see AMD X570-based motherboards at Computex 2019. MSI has tweeted a teaser animation of one motherboard model with integrated Wi-Fi 6, with the number 3000 flashing briefly on screen.

Also, Yuri Bubliy, an enthusiast and developer of the Ryzen DRAM Calculator utility, has tweeted that the Ryzen 3000 series will DDR4 RAM at up to 5000MHz with overclocking. As noted by Hothardware.com, this would be quite a speed bump over current-gen Ryzen Us.

Intel's own 7nm Epyc Us based on the 'Rome' architecture for servers, and 7nm 'Navi' GPUs for data-centres and consumer graphics cards, all within 2019.

It is likely that AMD will increase core counts across the Ryzen 3000 lineup, with six cores and 12 threads possibly becoming standard across the Ryzen 3 range, and 12-core and 16-core options making up the higher-end Ryzen 7 or purported Ryzen 9 series.
