AMD Ryzen Pro 3000 coming in the fourth quarter
AMD continues with its releases in 2019. After consumers, it's the turn of companies with the Ryzen Pro 3000 series. From the fourth quarter, up to 12 cores will be working in systems from Lenovo and HP.
Like the non-Pro versions, the Ryzen Pro CPUs are based on the Zen 2 architecture. Three models come in the AM4 form factor: the 12-core Ryzen 9 Pro 3900, the eight-core Ryzen 7 Pro 3700 and the six-core Ryzen 5 Pro 3600, all of which are said to have a TDP of 65 watts.
| Model | Cores / Threads | Base clock / Boost clock | Cache L2 + L3 | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 | 12 / 24 | 3.1 GHz / 4.3 GHz | 70 MB | 65 W |
| Ryzen 7 Pro 3700 | 8 / 16 | 3.6 GHz / 4.4 GHz | 36 MB | 65 W |
| Ryzen 5 Pro 3500 | 6 / 12 | 3.6 GHz / 4.2 GHz | 35 MB | 65 W |
The Pro variants differ from the consumer variants with the following features, among others: Trust Zone security processor, DASH, Secure Boot, Content Protection, fTPM 2.0 and TSME. It is therefore primarily security-relevant features that benefit business customers.
HP and Lenovo will be the first to install the processors. HP in mini desktops and the Elite Desk 705 G5 SFF, Lenovo in the Think Centre M75s-1 SFF and M75q-1.
