AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Sample Shows Up on Chinese Gray Market

An alleged AMD Ryzen 5 7600X "Zen 4" engineering sample showed up on the Chinese gray market. The sample is reportedly clocked at 4.40 GHz, which is below the 4.70 GHz base frequency of the 7600X as shown in leaked specs sheets; with a rumored boost frequency of up to 5.30 GHz. It looks like 6-core/12-thread will indeed be the core-configuration for the Ryzen 5 7000 series, with which Intel hopes to take on 13th Gen Core i5 that has 6P+4E (16-thread) on the lower-end SKUs, and 6P+8E (20-thread) on the higher-end ones.
