AMD announced its first Zen 3 (Ryzen 5000 series) desktop CPUs on October 8.
Compared to Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000 series) CPUs, the Zen 3 microarchitecture has higher boost clocks and around 19% higher instructions per clock. A unified core complex die (CCD) allows 8 cores to access up to 32 MB of L3 cache, instead of two groups of 4 cores accessing 16 MB each, leading to lower latency and more cache available for any particular core. TDPs are the same as the previous generation, leading to a 24% increase in performance per Watt.
AMD estimates a 26% average increase in gaming performance at 1080p resolution, with the Zen 3 CPUs beating or tying Intel's best CPUs in most games.
Ryzen 9 5950X, 16 cores, 32 threads, boosts up to 4.9 GHz, 105W TDP, $800.
Ryzen 9 5900X, 12 cores, 24 threads, boosts up to 4.8 GHz, 105W TDP, $550.
Ryzen 7 5800X, 8 cores, 16 threads, boosts up to 4.7 GHz, 105W TDP, $450.
Ryzen 5 5600X, 6 cores, 12 threads, boosts up to 4.6 GHz, 65W TDP, $300.
You may have noticed that these prices are exactly $50 more than the launch prices for the Ryzen 3000 equivalents released in 2019. The 5600X is the only model that will ship with a bundled cooler.
The CPUs will all be available starting on November 5. AMD will stream an announcement for its RX 6000 series of high-end GPUs on October 28.

Rubrik is 6 years old, GA products 4 years ago.
Nutanix 11, GA products 7 years ago.
Nasuni 12, don't know when their shit became for sale.
Cohesity 7 years old, GA 3 years ago.
Qumulo 8, started releasing GA products last year
All use Xeon. Pure arrays use Xeon, also a new player. Literally every enterprise appliance available uses Xeon chips, especially the new ones. Because when you have a new product you're trying to work out your bugs and get it out the door, and you don't want to worry about a CPU causing potential problems.
If there are guys building clusters from their pockets, and they're trying to save $1k on a CPU for a product that costs 100k+, those guys don't succeed. AMD has been around since 1970. Whatever they were going to start in the datacenter would have started by now. No investor VC cash is going to stand behind a plan that takes unnecessary product failure risk, to save a penny here and there. It is funny how you can't actually name anything on the market. Something tells me the guy who literally designs and sells this shit (me) and the people who are successful at making this shit, know a lot more than you, with your basement gaming rig. Enjoy mario 4k, and stick to nintendo please, not the datacenter.

I knew sales guys have to learn to like the smell of their own farts, but you're REALLY huffing. :)
I suppose new startups never leverage newer cheaper (sometimes even inferior in some ways) technology against The Way Things Are Done, and in the process roll the established order. In the next year or three you'll be pulling AMD products from your g-string and waving them around like it has forever been thus. ;)
