Is AMD about to launch a new wave of Ryzen 3000 processors?

AMD is riding high at the moment, and it seems the company isn’t planning to take its foot off the gas, as a recently-published EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) listing has seemingly outed a new range of third-generation Ryzen desktop processors.

According to the listing, AMD could be working on unannounced Ryzen 3000-series processors, including the Ryzen 9 3900, Ryzen 7 3700 and Ryzen 5 3500.

AMD’s current family of Ryzen 3000 processors range from the midrange AMD Ryzen 5 3600 to the high-end 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X, and have been highly acclaimed by both critics and consumers.

It makes sense that AMD would like to keep this momentum going by introducing new processor models at more appealing prices.

Guessing game

If these processors exist – and aren’t just placeholders – then they would potentially be variants of existing processors with lower TDP (thermal design power), which means they could have lower clock speeds (and lower prices).

So, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900 would be a lower-powered version of the excellent AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, with a similar relationship between the Ryzen 7 3700 and the Ryzen 7 3700X. The ‘X’ variants both have TDP of 105W, while the new CPUs will apparently have TDPs of 65W, as well as having the same core and thread counts as the existing models.

The Ryzen 5 3500 doesn’t have an existing ‘X’ variant, but Tom’s Hardware speculates that it could be a successor to the Ryzen 5 2500X – so it might only be available in pre-built machines and not sold separately.

It looks like AMD could also be releasing a Ryzen 9 Pro 3900, Ryzen 7 Pro 3700 and Ryzen 5 Pro 3600, which would be aimed at business users. According to the listing, the Pro models would have the same TDP as the regular CPUs, so they will likely perform similarly as well.

While these potential new Ryzen 3000 processors have not been officially announced by AMD, considering how much we liked the company’s latest CPUs, we’re excited at the prospect of seeing more chips from AMD to keep up the pressure on Intel.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more. But CEO Brett Caine said this is the first time the company is moving into commerce. While sports and concerts tickets might not be a booming market right now, Caine suggested that the company is actually seeing increased purchasing activity “in and around the Airship platform” as businesses try to drive more in-app purchases. He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
