AMD Ryzen 9 4950X / 5950X 16C/32T Zen 3 Vermeer's boost clock may touch the 5 GHz mark; AMD could skip 4000 series naming for desktop

[Redaktion]

Igor's Lab has revealed a new OPN ID indicating a 3.5 GHz base clock and 4.8 GHz boost clock for a 16-core 32-thread Zen 3 Vermeer engineering sample. This is a 100 MHz higher boost than the current Ryzen 9 3950X, and AMD may be able to manage speeds closer to the 5 GHz mark in the retail units. It is also being rumored that AMD may change the branding to Ryzen 5000 to avoid confusion with existing Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs for mobile and desktop.

Any chance these will have DDR5 and USB4 support?

None whatsoever - we'll get those with Zen 4.

Totally in favor of skipping the 4000 series for desktop CPUs.  It's always been weird to me that the 4000U and 4000H are the same cores as the 3000 desktop.  Getting the 5000 series desktop CPUs and the 5000 series laptop CPUs that are truly the same generation is what AMD ought to do.

 To the written : You have a mistake in your article : 'OPN "100-000000061-06_ 49/37 _Y" indicates a boost speed up to 4.9 GHz and a base clock of 3.9 GHz." It should be 3.7GHz if we look at the OPN number.
In hope it help :)
