AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Gaming Benchmarks vs 1700 at 4GHz, 10% Faster on Average
The productivity benchmarks are not any less impressive with the Ryzen 7 2700X showing performance improvements of up to 13% at stock clocks versus the overclocked Ryzen 7 1700. First generation Ryzen simply can’t keep up, even with a hefty 4.0GHz overclock and a custom liquid cooling loop.
This demonstrates that second generation Ryzen isn’t just an overclocked 1000 series Ryzen CPU, and even with the 2700X running at stock clocks, an overclocked first generation part will not be able to match it in performance.
Only one review. But, it does indicate Ryzen 2000 series really is a slightly re-designed 1000 -- not merely an overclocked 1000.
April 19 release and lots of independent test reports is only a couple days away.
