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.

Seems to be about 15% faster than an R5 1600?
http://ranker.sisoftware.net/show_run.php?q=c2ffcee889e8d5e3dbedd4e3dafc8eb383a5c0a598a88efdc0f1&l=en
I'll admit I expected more since we're also talking about a 6% clock speed increase.
Keep in mind, a lot of the memory bandwidth is now divided for the IGP too, so who knows if Ryzen 2 cores are actually slightly faster than 15%. Regardless, I'd say a roughly ~10% IPC improvement is acceptable for something where we knew there were no major architectural changes. The Ryzen 2000 series is likely just a series of bugfixes from the first generation (some of the first models produced had some pretty serious hardware bugs) and a few micro-optimizations here and there. As I've mentioned in other posts, if the Ryzen 2000 series is better at overclocking, that's what will really keep people's interest.

Just 6% ??? C'mon AMD... daf*k is this?
Dear God... I've waited a billion years for the Ryzen refresh, I still have to wait... and it's just 6%.
At least the X470 platform I hope will be better for PCI-e & Memory... I hope!

I5 8500 seems faster and a better option already. I expected better performance from Zen's optimized refresh line-up tbh.

It's a 6% clock speed increase... What difference does that make if you're getting an X series motherboard?
