Next Horizon E3 Event
AMD will announce today its next generation 7 nm based AMD Navi RX 5700 gaming graphics series.

According to the latest leak, the company will also announce the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X series.
Leaked Specs
The latest leak claims that the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU will be a monster in terms of power and performance based on its leaked specifications.

The i9-9960X has 165W TDP but performs at a much lower clock speed.
If the most recent leak is accurate, the 4.7 GHz is by far, the highest ever AMD clock speed we have seen on any AMD Ryzen CPU. Well, this could be due to AMD Ryzen 9 3950X's 7nm technology and the Zen 2 microarchitecture that it is built on. It would be a gift to any overclocker just being close to the 4.4 GHz barrier with exotic liquid cooling.
While the latest leak reveals many details, it failed to uncover the pricing of the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X. With this specs, it could be around $999 AM4 desktop CPU.
