Review: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and 7 2700X processor
It has been a long wait, but our first Zen+ reviews are ready and waiting, we take the new procs for a test ride. These puppies are running at up to 4.35 GHz and with up to eight cores and sixteen threads, that's not a bad thing at 229 and 329 USD.

A great product, worked well wih the 2700X, now with the 3800X and possibly with the new generation 5800X next year.

Not knocking anyone but If you follow what AMD says, AMD pretty much said if Intel produces a CPU better than the 2700X, at that price point, AMD will release the 2800X. No idea what that chip could be unless it's a threadRipper kinda CPU. Not going to post links. It all over the interwebs.
Again......Edit: This could be fake news. Google it?
I have seen a few reviews now of the 2600 and 2700 non "X" chips matching their "X" versions. I need more reviews!
With the official roadmaps for both AMD & Intel having leaked, they likely won't even need to. Z390 & Coffee Lake Refresh aren't dropping til the end of the year (most likely around Oct/Nov, just like OG CL), at which point Ryzen 3rd Gen/ 7nm Zen 2 will be only ≈4-5 months out. That being said, by the time the 8-c/16t CL-R DOES drop, GloFo's 12nm will be more than mature enough for a hypothetical Ryzen 7 2800X (if AMD deems it worth the time, effort, & cost vs just waiting for 3rd Gen, that is).
