AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero Pose Together for the Camera
SiSoft's hardware database is a fountain of information for soon-to-be-released hardware if you have the patience to go through all the entries. On this occasion, we get a glimpse of AMD's future Ryzen 5 2600 processor. Similar to its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 2600 is a 65W six-core processor with twelve threads. However, this new model features a 3.4 GHz base clock which is 200 MHz faster than the Ryzen 5 1600 that we reviewed last year. It will also come with 6 x 512 kB of L2 cache and 2 x 8 MB of L3 cache. Being an engineer sample and all, take these specifications with a pinch of salt. According to the entry, the processor was tested on an ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero motherboard that sports AMD's X470 chipset. Unfortunately, we don't have any more details at this time.

7700k > 6700k and still is it the same core (only better 14nm+, higher clocks and better IMC. That are same changes as in Ryzen 2000 series.)
One other thing, apparently AMD has been very proactive in fixing platform bugs and has worked closely with the overclocking community to solve thing like cold bugs when using LN2 cooling.
Those that are expecting massive performance increases are going to be disappointed though, as beyond the higher clock speeds, there won't be any major performance improvements from what I was told.
