Ryzen 7 2700x is between 12

One of the first reviews of the Ryzen 7 2700X processors and the Ryzen 5 2600 have come to light today, showing us the improvements they will have compared to the previous generation of AMD processors based on the Zen architecture.

Ryzen 7 2700X will go on sale on April 19

With a release scheduled for April 19, two of the Ryzen 2000 series' star processors have undergone extensive testing at Sisoft Sandra , courtesy of the Videocardz crowd.

The review provides a detailed description of the performance of the upcoming Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600. Both will use the AM4 socket and will be available during the month of April.

Performance and comparative

You can see the complete review with all the graphics through this link. Actually, they are a lot of graphics to digest, but we have selected two that are the most representative. Overall the Ryzen 7 2700X is 12-18% faster than the Ryzen 7 1700X, and we can also see that the Ryzen 5 2600 is outperforming the Intel Core i7 6700K. You can also check the improvement in the latency of the L3 and L2 caches, which would serve to give some additional performance advantage.

The 2700X not only enjoys faster inter-core communication and lower cache and memory latency, but also has higher total cache bandwidth compared to its first-generation counterpart. And the differences are not small either, we are talking about up to 32% more bandwidth.

We'll see if this is enough to compete against Intel's Coffee Lake variants, mostly in video games, but AMD seems to be in a good position with its second generation Ryzen.
