Ryzen "2" ?

So no R7 2800X. The R7 2700X is the new flagship, boosting to 4.35 GHz. The market space for a potential R7 2800X was probably not there, considering they still have a significantly lower clockspeed ceiling than Intel and have to compete at different price points to last time (Ryzen 1 flagship = $500, Ryzen 2 flagship = $370). Unless of course they can scrape enough higher binned chips and release it later, as sideways14a said.

It also looks like they're not bothering with an R5 2400X or any R3s without IGPs, at least for now. They might come later but with the "G" series chips they might just feel there's no point making their line-up bloated and confusing. Interestingly, this leaves their current line-up with only one non-SMT CPU: the R3 2200G.

The R5 2600X looks tasty with 4.25 GHz turbo, and the R5 2600 makes the i5-8400 a complete waste of time ($20 more but overclockable and with SMT). Got my eye on the ~£260 R7 2700 if DDR4 prices ever fall...
 
The 2600x looks very tasty indeed.
Plus, are those speeds with xfr or not ? Would have thought those are just max boost and maybe xfr is on top of that.... that would be mental if possible although its prob wishful thinking.
 
It's not obvious what the point of the 4xx chipsets is from those slides. One says that 2nd generation "X" chips will be able to use XFR 2 Enhanced on 3xx and 4xx boards, plus Precision Boost Overdrive on 4xx boards. However, the next slide says XFR 2 Enhanced requires a 4xx chipset. :/
 
Will wait and see how these overclock and then decide what way my new build will be. However i am disappointed if xfr only jumps from 4.1 to 4.35 for the top 8core. Yes its a boost but a less couple hundred megahertz clock jump only is what most moaned intel was doing with its drip feed system of cps.
Interesting to see the precision boost overdrive is only on the X chips
 
My feeling is the boost or XFR, 4.35Ghz will be the maximum overclock on all cores, or there abouts, 4.3 to 4.5Ghz.

We were not expecting any higher than that anyway and if the other slides are to be believed the IPC is also up a meaningful chunk, so its all good.
 
Interesting that they've somehow managed to regress in a single game, Crysis 3, according to their own benchmarking. They also reckon only 5 games have a significant FPS boost on Intel compared to AMD (using GTX 1080 @ 1080p):

CS:GO
Dirt Rally
Overwatch
Skyrim
Halo Wars 2

This is despite the fact that 4/5 of these are over 10% faster than when using an R7 1800X, according to AMD. They've also used some odd settings choices here (e.g. Epic on Overwatch, which no-one uses).

Looks like they are BIOS locking the XFR 2.0 Enhanced/XFR Overdrive to X470 boards to give people a reason to upgrade. That's about it. Normal XFR 2.0 will work on 370, and if you are manually overclocking it's all irrelevant anyway.

So, it is FAKE! I honestly can't find a reason that AMD would somehow choose to promote their main competitor's products.
 
Might be fake or might be not. A bit weird 2600X would have slower boost than 2700X, but the slides are propable built over old blueprin so seeing wrong dates is not that big deal. If it is real is there not enough 2800X capable dies yet or are they taking the top dies to sell them for overclockers with premium. It was bit weird to get top dies for TR when single core speed didnt really matter with that product.
 
Thanks. Interesting that people can go through all that effort and then miss a copyright statement. I'd have been fairly happy with Pinnacle Ridge had these fakes been true though. Wonder if the real deal will be better or worse. :p

We will know for sure in 14 days. Paper launch is on the 21'st.

Why paper launch? The cargo ships need time to travel across the oceans, from China, Malaysia, USA, Mexico, etc to Europe......
It is exactly the time, 2-3 weeks, so the delivery and supply chain can get their act together.
