First Leaked Benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen 7 2000 Processor
A few days ago, we spotted AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 2700X processor at the 3DMark playground. We got word today that our Korean buddies over at the Hardware Battle forums have leaked some benchmarks of a mysterious Ryzen 7 2000 processor. While the graphs don't explicitly state the model of the so-called "Future Processor", it's very likely that it's the Ryzen 7 2700X. First off, the clock speed matched the specifications from the previous 3DMark leak. HWBattle also compared it to the Ryzen 7 1700X numerous times which makes perfect sense considering that the Ryzen 7 2700X is the next successor to the throne. Initially, we projected the Ryzen 7 2700X to hit the 4.2 GHz mark thanks to AMD's XFR 2.0 (eXtended Frequency Range) and Precision Boost 2.0 technologies. However, HWBattle's sample reached 4.35 GHz which makes it even more impressive.
Comparing the Ryzen 7 1700X and 2700X side by side in AIDA64's memory benchmark, the latter was 11% faster in the memory latency test and 30% and 16% faster in the L2 and L3 Cache tests, respectively. The Ryzen 7 2700X's single thread performance was surprisingly strong as well. It surpassed the likes of the Intel Core i9-7980XE, i7-8700K, and Threadripper 1950X processors in the Dhrystone Aggregated-int Native benchmark. The Ryzen 7 2700X started to fall behind in multi-core performance, but it still managed to beat the Intel Core i7-8700K. We saw a similar scenario with the Physics test in 3DMark's FireStrike Ultra benchmark. The Ryzen 7 2700X once again annihilated the Intel Core i7-8700K.

As far as meltdown patches... They should disable those as zen is immune to meltdown, also it mainly hurts i/o performance related tasks.
Gaming really doesn't take that much of a hit, other than loading times. Spectre patches are within margin of error for performance impact. (0-1%)

The memory latency seems similar to skylake-x too. And seeing the 2661mhz memory in AIDA, it might even be faster. IF this is true, then that's a pretty nice cpu to have. Especialy when the 7820x seems to max out at 4,5-4,6 Ghz for most people (according to techspot).
If threadripper is scaling well the HEDT might be very interesting...
(BTW the 7820x is also only 5% faster than a 8700k in firestrike)

I'm really thinking of buying that CPU. 1080p is nothing for me since I play mostly on higher resolutions. 1440p is the min for me. This CPU has a chance to be great. Who knows maybe till the release it will be clocked bit higher? Either way it is very promising and I think the time to change my old rig is just round the corner :) In terms of games maybe it depends which titles?
I think with Ryzen+ we see some changes and AMD is catching up good. That's just fantastic. :)I don't think AMD mobos are crap. It is a new platform and it has matured a bit lately. 3.5% for Intel. wishful thinking in my opinion :)
That said, a friend with a Threadripper 1950X has had plenty of his own issues with game performance all over the board. Many games just don't seem to handle the plethora of threads well and run incredibly slow until some are disabled for those games. It seems to happen on more games than it doesn't. A process manager like BitSum Process Lasso is pretty much mandatory with a TR imo, since it makes adjusting affinity and cores to resolve those issues much easier.
Also benchmarks like these with AMD seem to always conveniently leak before release, and the release numbers don't always match the leaked numbers. Not saying AMD is doing it intentionally for marketing, but the pattern has been very consistent over the past few years. So I'd wait for third-party benchmarks before reaching any conclusions.

Take with a mountain of salt ... :)
Important points:
- no 2800X yet, current lineup consists of 8C/16T 2700X, 2700 and 6C/12T 2600X, 2600
- 2700X turbos up to 4.35 GHz, but it has 105 W TDP. This boost also might only be achievable on 400 series boards
- 2700X is on average 5% better than 1800X in gaming (with GTX 1080)
- optimized BIOSes for existing boards are coming in March
Also, higher clocks might be coming in next gen CPUs:

Onto the other topic, 7nm. I think GF has a pretty good chance to make great things with 7nm, since they work with Samsung, IBM and people who worked there in the past. AMD, at last, has a great partner in the manufacturing side of things, so if they execute well and bring good IPC improvements with Zen2 - lets say 20% - coupled with more cores, 12/24 cores on a single die, they can do great things and maybe surpass Intel.
Step 1: Buy a 2000-series Ryzen chip.
Step 2: Wait a year and deal with a year of not-so-great 1080p gaming performance.
Step 3: Buy a 3000-series Ryzen chip when it comes out.
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!!!
They all come with included coolers. How many will buy the 2700 just for the LED and the 2700X for the RGB lights. :laugh:
Add on:
I wonder why there is not 2800x? Could it be possible AMD is diching it or they will go with 12 cores maybe? That would be something new.
I REALLY bloody want one!! :laugh: :toast:
BTW: 8700k is not the cream of the crop :) It's got flaws. Surprised you haven't spotted it yet :)
CPUs are hot right now... this is a great launch with these initial benches... i think the 2700x will really be an amazing chip.On ryzen you really do notice that extra 200Mhz - the architecture scales really well with clock speed. I think a 4.4Ghz 2700x would be able to match my 4.7Ghz 7820x in cinebench multi... probably at less power consumption.
