AMD Ryzen 2000 Series Leaked: Expect Superfast Performance at Exceptional Prices

Mar. 7, 2018

AMD is probably experiencing its best period in the world of computing, thanks to the huge success of the Ryzen series. The range of processors introduced by AMD took the fight to Intel by introducing higher processors with more cores and threads. Now, afterlaunching the Ryzen 2400G and the Ryzen 3 2200G last month, the company is gearing up for thelaunch of its second-generation Ryzen CPUs.

While AMD has tried its best to keep a tight lid on details about the new CPUs, leaked slides have surfaced suggesting incredible performance from the upcoming range.

It must be noted that this is not Ryzen 2 based on Zen 2, but instead the Zen+ architecture chips that will be launched this year.

According to the leaked presentation slides, courtesy ofEl Chapuzas Informatico,AMD will be introducing the flagship Ryzen 2700X for $369along with three other Ryzen processors,the Ryzen 7 2700 non-X for $299,which is also 8-core and 16-thread,and two 6-core/12-thread parts: Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 5 2600. However, while many had speculated the release of a Ryzen 7 2800X, as per the current leaks, it seems like AMD is not adding a 2800X to the lineup at this time. As such, the entire AMD Ryzen 2000 series looks like below:

Dubbed the Pinnacle Ridge series,the new AMD Ryzen series will feature clock speeds up to 4.35 GHzand will be including the Wraith Prism cooler with the flagship model while offering the Wraith Spire and Stealth coolers to other CPUs.

In terms of performance, AMD has put new Ryzen against Intel Coffee Lake’s flagship, the i7-8700K. AMD claims 2700X will be 7.7% slower on average. However, compared to the Summit Ridge R7 1800Xthe new CPU will offer 5% better framerates.

The 2nd-generation AMD Zen+ processors are said to sport intelligent features, such asPrecision Boost Overdrive, which is meant to increase the clock speed even higher than XFR.The new chipsets will also have “Pure Power”, which is said to improve processor energy efficiency in day-to-day tasks. AMD’s Ryzen 2000 series is also said to sport Neural Net Prediction and Smart Prefetch features, which will allow the processor to automatically anticipate the data your applications need for peak performance.

According to the leaks,the X470 motherboards are to be launched on April 19.While there is no word on the release date, this could be the launch date of Ryzen 2000 desktop series as well.

This isn’t an interview! Why am I being asked to tell you about myself? :P Well, if you really wanna know, I’m currently trending worldwide on #BeingMirchi. Buy me a beer if you like my work. Cheers!
