If we just look at the l3 cache then we can utilize all 16 threads for the new Ryzen 7 3700x.
Looks good for cryptonight. The're also releasing a Ryzen 9 series with up to 16 cores, 32 threads and
72 MB cache, enough to run a full 32 threads of cryptonight with room to spare.
The R9 still uses 2 channel memory where the next bottleneck is. Need Threadripper to get 4 channels.
Hoping for some AVX2 improvements but haven't heard of any.
The 3000G series is an interesting curiosity, boasting the "most powerful graphics" on a desktop CPU.
assuming it's Radeon based it should be possible to mine with it. It might be a good choice for a GPU
rig to add a little extra hash for about the same price as an equivalent Intel CPU.
From a feature perspective AMD already beat Intel with SHA on the first gen Ryzens, and they closed
the gap with the addition of AVX2 capability if not AVX2 performance.
AMD caught up with Intel with gen1 Ryzen and is now pulling ahead while Intel continues delay its
next generation architecture, which includes AVX512, and instead puts out refresh after refresh
of Skylake.
I thought Intel would wake up with Ryzen gen1 but their only response was to add a couple of cores
to the latest Skylake refresh and call it Coffeelake.
It's nice to see AMD giving Intel a good run but I wish intel would get their heads back into the race.
