A Spanish website posted a first review of the Ryzen 7 2700X. Over the past few weeks, several leaks already occurred, now this one. It looks that they did not receive their sample from AMD but likely through a partner/distributor. it’s the real thing though.
Before you browse the results, I want to make a note. Some of the results are simply way off, that includes memory latency, some of the benchmarks. The authors also have not been able to run any games as they crashed. It makes me to think they could have tested with a wrong BIOS and a lack of proper drivers, however the reviewer states otherwise. I am stating this so obvious as some media already is testing these processors, but yeah, I’m not seeing any game issues whatsoever. Latency is lower etc. Enough of that.
Ryzen 7 2700X is the 8c/16t part, in the review, it’s listed with a base clock of 3.7 GHz with a boost towards 4.35 GHz. The benchmarks that they have been able to run were wPrime, Cinebench, x264 encoding, AIDA64, and 3DMark. As with the previously leaked review, a performance gain of about 10% can be seen there. According to El Chapuzas Informático, AMD will launch the Ryzen 2000 series on April 19, less than 2 weeks from now.
