Ryzen "2" ?

Nice increase, and its cheaper.. win win.
Now about that 2800 will it appear at some point?

I imagine they are playing it by ear: if they can squeeze more out of the process and get some binned chips running at, say, 4.5 GHz, they might bring one out later (it almost certainly wouldn't be worth waiting for though). If not, the R7 2700X can stay the flagship mainstream chip.

What significance is that DDR4 JDEC spec of 2933MHz?

Ryzen 1 had a spec of 2666 MHz and it generally supported 2933 MHz (3200 MHz if B-die). Hopefully the 2933 MHz spec means it'll handle 3200 MHz with ease and 3466 MHz with the best RAM.
 
With latest BIOSes most Ryzen 1 will do 3200MHz now even with Hynix. With B-die and a bit of tweaking 3466MHz is usually the upper limit. I would like to hope the Ryzen 2's will be able to do 3466-3600 just by turning on the XMP. That improved memory controller plus the core frequency boost is going to bring them to within spitting distance of the 8700k.
 
Whilst Ryen 2 doesn't seem very exciting, I am really looking forward to Ryzen 3. I want a 5ghz all core 12 core 24 thread mainstream chip please :D

I'm hoping 2019 will finally be the year we see cpu's make a decent jump.

I agree. I was umming and arrring over getting a Ryzen 2, but I think i'll hold on to my 1700 until next year and then pick up one of the 7nm beasts for a bigger jump.

To be honest, that Firestrike Physics score does not impress me greatly. My lowly 1700 clocked at 3.8Ghz managed a 20,447 Physics score https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14995431
I hope we can put this result down to a rubbish ram speed and the cheapest GPU they could find laying around in the bin.

I'm not disputing what you are saying here but if these graphs are right then with an 11% overclock you're achieving 15% higher performance, which can't be right, perhaps the graph scores are all a bit low? what do you get at 3.4Ghz?
