Just a few hours ago, we reported on the possibility of AMD mulling two refreshed Matisse-family processors, the Ryzen 7 3850X and 3750X, to take the shine out of Intel’s new Comet Lake-S CPUs. Now we’re hearing that there may actually be three SKUs on red team’s drawing board. According to Wccftech’s sources, AMD is prepping the following:
