To me, the most interesting one is the 3700X, with 12 cores/24 threads and 4.2GHz base clock and 5GHz boost. That would be a beast.

But remember that this is just a rumor because, even though AMD will (allegedly) announce them at CES in 6 days, there won't be press days for briefings, meaning that the launch is still a bit away, which would raise questions such as why does this retailer know so much about them.

Clockrates fall in line with the rough increases expected from TSMC's 7nm clock gains as well. (Of course, salt still required.)

If those clocks are true and if AMD manages to improve their gaming performance, Intel could be in very big trouble.

After all, the 9900K works in a range of 3.6 to 5.0GHz, making it only a slight faster in single threaded programs, but slower than it in multi-threaded ones, than the (probably) much cheaper 3600X. And then there's the 3700X, faster and with more cores.

But yes, it's better to wait until we know the final specs and then the reviews come in to gauge how these new processors compare with Intel's latest.
