We've seen a leak that it will turbo to 5.6 GHz instead of 5.2 GHz. That's about the most you should expect, and not terrible for a simple refresh. Reply

To my knowledge Lenovo locks their AMD CPUs so they can only work in Lenovo systems.(and possibly locked to a specific Lenovo motherboard model number) Reply

L1 is too close to the core to add mor without a significant redesign. L2 is more flexible but no way the put in the effort for a simple refresh. X3D was said to allow up to 4 stacks, but so far all we have seen is one so I doubt that changes. Like usertests said it will likely just be a clock bump. ezst036 said: If it is an OEM, hopefully it doesn't turn out to be Lenovo.

I thought that the backlash was bad enough that they stopped doing it. It doesn't get more anti-consumer than that. Reply
Elusive Ruse This puts the 900 (12/24) line in more of a silly spot; the 12 core offering hasn’t been relevant since 5900X. With the popularity of the 5800X3D/7800X3D/9800X3D CPUs marking them recognisable by gamers, I can see AMD turning the 10800 and consequently 10800X3D into a single CCD 12 core gaming behemoth with good multicore performance and retire the 900.
