AMD Ryzen 5 2600 ‘Pinnacle Ridge’ CPU Performance Leaks Out – Up To 15% Faster in Single Core Tests Compared to Ryzen 5 1600
This is merely a "leak" -- not confirmed information. So, I won't say more -- other than it was a combination of increased clocks and increased efficiency.
The new Ryzen 2000s are coming in April. I plan to buy one. I'm hoping for 5 or 10 percent increase in efficiency per clock. We'll see.
Disclaimer: No way will anyone "see" such a small CPU improvement while playing a game. Only a fanatic (like me) would buy a new CPU for such a small improvement.
