AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Accidentally Listed on Amazon

Amazon Germany accidentally listed the upcoming AMD Ryzen 5 2600X six-core processor. According to the listing availability of the chip is scheduled for 19th April. The chip is priced at 248.93€ including taxes, which is in line with the launch SEP prices we saw in the leaked AMD press-deck posted earlier this month. The listing also mentions a handful specifications, such as the chip being based on 12 nm silicon fabrication process, and featuring clock speeds of 3.60 GHz, with 4.25 GHz turbo. Unlike with some of the higher end first-generation Ryzen retail packages, AMD will be including cooling solutions with all models of the 2nd generation Ryzen series. The Ryzen 5 2600X will include a Wraith Spire cooler, characterized by its RGB LED ring, and having a design focus on low-noise operation.

RealNeilI'd be willing to bet that they have devoted a lot of time into making memory work properly.
In order to defeat latency issues, the new 400 series chipset would probably be required. (just a guess on my part)
I think the variance in performance vs Broadwell clock for clock was mostly due to memory. I think we've seen Ryzen do great in less memory bandwidth intensive CPU work, and still fall behind in memory frequency/memory latency intensive CPU work.

cucker tarlsonYet you still bother me with comments I cannot understand.
One would expect from someone posting on a techie side to realize overall performance has been improved more than 6%...

I don't take synthetic performance leaks as final. I know better.
Do you,for example, know whether the ryzen 1000 results in the leak are up to date or taken from the initial batch of reviews, before agesa codes and software patches ? I don't.
I know everything looks different in a different colored glasses, but it's silly to get excited over this.

cucker tarlsonI don't.
Oh, so you don't know yet.
I was under impression you were sure it was merely 6% clock bump, apologies.

That's the only thing that's confirmed.
