Ryzen "2" ?

^^^ Agreed, and it irks me. Really want to know about the upcoming motherboards, especially mATX, cos my current one is a fekking dog's egg with a stripe on it.

The combination of Zen+ and next gen chipsets (and their ability to run memory at its rated speed!) will be what determines whether I stick to AMD or swap to Intel...
 
Another comparison between the R7 1800X and R7 2700X, this time with 3200 MHz DDR4 and the same OS, motherboard, etc.

~14.5% higher multithreaded score; 8.5% higher single-threaded score.

The 1800X should be running at 4.0 GHz on a single core (maybe higher due to XFR), so the R7 2700X might be running at up to 4.35 GHz (or even 4.45 GHz if the R7 1800X is running at 4.1 GHz here). This generally agrees, again, with the earlier leaks. All core boost has possibly jumped from 3.7 GHz to 4.25 GHz - such a huge jump is probably why the R7 2700X allegedly has a higher TDP. The clocks may be lower if there are other IPC improvements there though.

Really hoping for some higher end MATX boards for this gen, everything looking good for now though!

4.25 boost at stock should make a real difference to a large chunk of benchmarks that a currently dominated by team blue.

Really hope we will have more boards in the pro / workstation space this time around though!

Looks really encouraging. If the all core boost is at 4.35Ghz then it virtually removes the need to overclock as well. In my head I'm comparing my 1700X at 3.8Ghz to those 2700X scores and whilst at first the difference isn't that exciting, once you take into account my chip is clocked as high as I could patiently get it and those figures are a good chunk higher stock. It's justified in my mind upgrading.

**Also that's my mobo so I best get my BIOS updated!

The difference between 3.6Ghz and 3.7Ghz is just under 3%, so with a ~9% gain in performance the IPC is 5 or 6% higher on Ryzen + / 2 call it what one will.

Multithreaded, who knows but +15% is significant.

The 3.6 and 3.7 GHz figures are irrelevant, those are just base clocks.

Need? NEED? Sir... I think you misunderstand the general geek ;) We do it because we can, not because we need to.

THIS IS SPARGEEKTA!!!!!

Exactly :D
I can't ever remember one cpu or gpu that i didn't clock. Did i need to ? Naaaaaaaaah, i did it because it was there to be clocked and because i wanted to.

Up to DDR4 4000 :eek: NIIICEEE ! :D :D

Again, our sources have told us that most Ryzen 7 2700X chips will reliably overclock to 4.4 GHz and can support up to 4000 MHz DDR4 memory on high-end motherboards. On average the 2nd generation Ryzen parts will also run at 400 MHz higher than their predecessors, thanks to improvements to frequency turbo algorithms and a more refined 14nm+ process node.

All in all it’s looking really good for Ryzen 2, so stay tuned for more folks!

Looking sweet, a very good update and all we need to know is the overclockage and how far it can be pushed.
4.5 would be great, especially as the intel stuff turns to a nuclear reactor when getting the Mhz up.

The next version of Zen could be epic, or epyc even.

4.4GHz would be nice. If I can double my core/thread count and keep near enough the same clockspeed, things are good.

You also have to remember that Ryzen has better IPC than Sandy Bridge, a 4.4GHz Ryzen is probably near enough equivalent to a 5GHz 2600K.
 
Oh man, 2700X at launch me thinks, still using me stop gap 2400G until then.

I hope AMD have new cards soon !! Don't want to have to go to the dark side for a new DGPU.

Saying that, if the current pricing carries over to new gen DGPU, I'll only be buying used anyway xD
