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.
