AMD Ryzen 16-Core/12-Core Behemoth And New Socket Challenge Intel; First Ryzen Patch Arrives In ‘Ashes of Singularity’

The latest report says that AMD may be using multiple chip modules for the Ryzen 16-core and 12-core variant. This basically means stitching two new dies together so the 16-core model will have dual 8-core CPUs and the 12-core will have dual 6-core CPUs all held together. There is no evidence yet of how these new chips will perform although these have been spotted in SiSoft Sandra benchmark alongside two leaked diagrams of the AMD X399 and X390. There is no hard information go by other than the slight changes in core clock.
