An AMD Ryzen sample which is clocked at 3.6 GHz to 4.0 GHz is now on Ashes of the Singularity's benchmark database. It was posted on the AotS database recently but quickly pulled after several Internet users saved a screenshot of the benchmark. The AotS benchmark is a reliable baseline benchmark for gaming fans.

A person who has access to the upcoming AMD Ryzen lineup has leaked several benchmarks of the CPU. A new sample from the AMD CPU has appeared continuously on the Internet with the prefix "ZD." However, the latest leak shows the actual AMD Ryzen name. It could be the newest revision of the CPU which could be the finished product to be shipped in the first quarter of 2017.

According to reports, the benchmark revealed that it was a Ryzen 8 core - 16 threads model which was Hyper-Threading enabled. The GPU was a NVIDIA GeForce TITAN-X which means it comes from a third-party lab, a reviewer or an AIB. The benchmark was spotted running at the Crazy 4K present with an average CPU frame rate of 70.5 fps. The uploader is named AMD_FanBoy.

AMD Ryzen chips are about to be released in March 2017 and Intel is ready to stop its rival with the launch of the high-end Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X processors in four Core i7-7000 chips. These powerful CPUs are confirmed to be released in August 2017 and all four will be powered by the HEDT X299 flagship platform.

AMD Ryzen is prepared to compete with the Intel Kaby Lake at some aspects and it comes with remarkably impressive hardware. This is clear threat to Intel's Core architecture legacy. The Ryzen is specifically designed for PC gaming while Intel offers several advantages to Kaby Lake including power efficiency and faster performance.

According to early reports, the Ryzen is a 3.4 GHz+ chip with 8 cores, 4 MB of L2 and 16 MB of L3 cache. It aims to beat Intel's clock speed as it improves by 40% per clock cycle compared to AMD's Excavator core. The boost of performance is partly from its 14nm process that fits more transistors on a silicon piece.

The new "Simultaneous Multi-Threading" also helps in handling multiple tasks. New technology includes the Neural Net forecast which speeds processing by forecasting instructions and Smart Prefetch which forecasts the data's future location and store in cache. AM4 Platform is found in Ryzen including DR4 RAM, PCIe Gen 3, USB 3.1 Gen 2, NVMe and SATA Express.
