Today we bring you the world exclusive that will be the official presentation of the AMD Ryzen 2000 (also known as Ryzen 2), and this translates to let you know all the models that we will have available on the day of its release, its specifications, performance , release date, and prices .
Model Cores / Threads Freq.Base Freq.Max Boost TDP
Ryzen 7 2700X 8/16 3.70 GHz 4.35 GHz 105W
Ryzen 7 2700 8/16 3.20 GHz 4.10 GHz 65W
Ryzen 5 2600X 6/12 3.60 GHz 4.25 GHz 95W
Ryzen 5 2600 6/12 3.40 GHz 3.90 GHz 65W
As you can see there will be four models, where the " X " variants include the Precision Boost 2 and Precision Boost Overdrive technology , the " No X " variants do not have Boost overdrive. The Ryzen 7 have a Smart Prefetch Cache of 20 MB compared to 19 MB of the Ryzen 5. All CPUs have 16 PCIe lines and a DDR4 @ 2933 MHz memory controller .
These processors, in addition to having the Precision Boost Overdrive technology, also have the XFR2 Enhanced automatic overclock. In both cases, in order to use said technology, the use of one of the new motherboards equipped with the AMD X470 or AMD B450 chipset will be required , they are the only existing changes compared to the current generation of motherboards.
Official benchmarks
AMD itself tells us that the final performance improvement was not as good as we expected, since the Ryzen 7 2700X only offers a 5% improvement over the Ryzen 7 1800X , a test that has been conducted with more than a score of games run at Full HD @ Ultra resolution with a GeForce GTX 1080 . In a direct comparison with the Core i7-8700K, the Ryzen 7 2700X is 7.7% slower .
Availability and price
As you can see below, Ryzen 2000 processors will reach prices that will move between 199 and 369 dollars , prices very similar to those of Intel Core, which helps us extrapolate that in euros the thing will be very similar . While the Ryzen 7 2700X will be almost 8 percent slower than the Core i7-8700K , selling it for 1 dollar less does not make up for seeing AMD as a good option if we only think about using it to play.
As for the release date, we should find them for sale on April 19 at 15:00 p.m. GMT +1 in Spain.
