Ryzen 3 Specs for Chipset and other details

Greetings, I'm sure some of you already know but ryzen 3 was announced today. I don't know all the details but the most interesting things are: * Native PCI Express 4 and USB 3.1 on the chipset not sure about GEN 2 * 64 Core Data Center Processors with hyper threading I'm assuming so 128 threads * Not been tested externally but IPC per core similar to Intel This is a link to the discussion on motherboards: https://hothardware.com/news/amd-x570-ryzen-3000-zen-2-motherboard-roundup Seems to be a interesting product stack, Nick

It does indeed. Although pretty sure it is Ryzen 3000 not Ryzen 3, given the models seem to be named Ryzen 3, 5, 7 and 9 (Similar to intels i3, i5, i7 and i9), and the 3rd gen is the 3000 series models. I just saw an MSI X570 board review and at least that one mentioned USB 3.1 Gen 2 unless I misunderstood something. -- Len Sorensen

The more interesting thing with those boards seems to be that according to MSI not sure about others on the 200 dollar and over Canadian boards there will be a added card for 10gbs networks which is a great value. Probably just some low end 100 dollar card but still it's a neat add on. Nick

Some of the MSI boards even have the 10Gig port on the mainboard. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRESTIGE-X570-CREATION for example. The 10Gig port is apparently this chip: https://www.aquantia.com/products/controllers/aqtion-aqc107/ Based on this image: https://storage-asset.msi.com/event/mb/2019/amd-x570/images/msi-10g_lan.png Supposedly it does 5 speeds (100M, 1G, 10G, 5G and 2.5G, but not 10M). Appears to be supported by the atlantic driver in linux as of 4.11 kernel. Someone benchmarked it against an intel X540 and found performance and CPU load were identical. -- Len Sorensen
