AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Desktop Processor Spotted on ASUS Crosshair VII HERO Mobo
Interesting, you have to love result databases. The the first 'optimized' Ryzen, Ryzen 2 processor has hit the SiSoft Sandra database. The entry shows a processor called Ryzen 5 2600, which obviously is Zen+, the model listed is a six-core twelve threaded processor
The entry within the SiSoft database is:
- ZD2600BBM68AF_38/34_Y (6C 12T 3.4GHz, 1.1GHz IMC, 6x 512kB L2, 2x 8MB L3).
And yes you can deduct anything and pretty much everything from that, including the a 3.4 GHz base clock and a 3.8 GHz turbo. Have a look at the screenshot below:
What's also interesting is the motherboard listed, it is an ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO (WI-FI) running on Windows 10, that would be an X470 Motherboard alright.
Recent announcements indicate a launch for the new platform and revision 2 processors as early as April. If we table things up and compare a bit, this would be the differences. It seems AMD is capable of achieving slightly higher clocks alright.
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 5 1600 | AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | 14nm Zen | 12nm Zen+ |
| Cores | 6 | 6 |
| Threads | 12 | 12 |
| Cache | 19 MB (L2+L3) | 19 MB (L2+L3) |
| Base Clock | 3.2 GHz | 3.4 GHz |
| Boost Clock | 3.6 GHz | 3.8 GHz |
| TDP | 65W | 65W |
| Release | Q2 2017 | Q2 2018 |
Judging from just this processor, AMD is able to achieve at least 200 MHz more out of the optimized 12nm production nodes. Thanks go out to Poul Olsen from Denmark for this spot.

I know it's clock speed. I was expecting at least a 10% increase. C'mon... you're reducing the fab-process, and you're updating known / initial release issues... I was expecting a 2800X to reach 4.5+ GHz. At 4.24 GHz it seems a no-upgrade kind of difference, cause IPC will be an insignificant factor.
It's a 6% clock speed increase... What difference does that make if you're getting an X series motherboard?

So this would make the 2600X 3.8GHz, 4.2GHz turbo (4.3GHz with XFR?), hypothetically at least. If it overclocks better could we see 4.4/4.5GHz? A 10 - 15% performance improvement from a 6% clock speed increase isn't to shabby these days anyway.

I still don't see what there is to complain about. Clock speed is irrelevant on an unlocked CPU, especially if there's an IPC improvement. It's also the non-X version.

Could be... but so close to release, I'm guessing they already have plenty of wafers cooked. It's unlikely they'll tweak something in the last few months before launch...
keep in mind, the chip could still be an engineering sample. ;-)
