We have already mentioned the possible existence of new Ryzen 2000 series references. The Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X are the talks of the town.
However, the information is now more precise. We discover technical characteristics and first performance scores. The leak is signed Geekbench. The database of this test software has now indexed its two references.
The Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X, details
Their appearance dates from June 11 and 12. Both chips were tested with an Asus Prims X370-Pro motherboard supported by 16GB DDR4-1600MHz.
The Ryzen 3 2300X features four physical cores powered at a frequency of 3.5 GHz versus a boost mode at 4 GHz. He gets a score of 4734 in single-Core and 13999 in Multi-Core.
The Ryzen 5 2500X is more muscular with the presence of 4 physical cores and 8 logical cores due to SMT. The frequency of this processor is calibrated at 3.6 GHz base against 4 GHz maximum. Its mechanics gets a score of 4782 in single-core and 17291 in Multi-core.
In both cases, the name uses the letter X. It indicates the presence of Precision Boost and XFR technologies. They help improve overall performance by providing an automatic KO. However, their relevance is related to the performance of the cooling solution.
