Youtube User Tum Apisak has been responsible for a number of leaks and spots, often he was spot on. That said, he posted a screenshot of what seems to be a Ryzen 7 2700X processor in the 3DMark database. If this is a true valid screenshot when compared towards the Ryzen 7 1700X, the base clock is 300 MHz higher and the Turbo reached 4100 MHz.
The screenshot reveals pretty much all we need to know and expect about the 12nm Zen+ update and leaves little else to say. So let’s keep things simple and understandable and compare the 2700X towards the 1700X.

With the base clock raised you should see some better single core performance, and combined with a Turbo to 4100 MHz, things would look pretty good. I can only assume that XFR remains active as well, which could boost another 100 MHz also. Tum Apisak did not share a link, he never does.
Ryzen 2000 are 12nm Zen+ optimized Ryzen processors, the ‘refresh’ SKUs so to say. 12nm Zen+ processors will work with your X370 chipset based motherboard, however, AMD will launch the new X470 chipset alongside the new Zen+ processors. The new chipset should offer small improvements and use less power. Details in specs are not yet known though.
