The current Ryzen lineup comprises 4-, 6-, 8-, 12-, and 16-core processors. That could be changing. According to Yuri Bubliy (author of DRAM Calculator and ClockTuner for Ryzen), AMD will be introducing 10-core SKUs as part of its upcoming Ryzen 4000 Series “Vermeer” family, which leverages the Zen 3 microarchitecture.
How does he know this? AGESA. Bubliy says that evidence of 10-core models can be found in BIOSes that contain the latest version, 1.0.8.1. The developer also noted that Zen 3 processors will feature a “Curve Optimizer” and Infinity Fabric dividers, which will let users customize their boost frequencies and get higher memory controller frequencies, respectively.

10 core’s processors – it’s real 🙂@AMDRyzen @AMD #Ryzen
All the information I have posted can be easily obtained from the bios that contains AGESA 1.0.8.1. 😇@AMDRyzen @AMD

One of the key features of Zen 3 will be the “Curve Optimizer” , which allows you to configure the boost of the Ryzen processor. In addition, you will be able to customize the frequency for each core without any restrictions.@AMDRyzen @AMD #ryzen

Infinity Fabric dividers. That is, we can get the memory controller frequency slightly higher in mixed mode.
There are a number of mentions of this, but I do not know the mechanism.@AMDRyzen @AMD #Ryzen
