AMD Ryzen 2000 series exposed, pricing, performance leaked
There is no Ryzen 7 2800X (yet)
Apparently, AMD is not adding Ryzen 7 2800X to the lineup at this time and all the leaks we have been seeing are of the flagship Ryzen 2000 model, the Ryzen 7 2700X. This CPU will retail at 369 USD, a dollar less than Core i7 8700K.
The X470 motherboards are to be launched on April 19th (this could be the launch date of Ryzen 2000 desktop series)..
AMD has put new Ryzen against Intel’s Coffeelake-S flagship, the i7-8700K. AMD claims 2700X will be 7.7% slower [FPS] on average.
Compared to Summit Ridge R7 1800X the new [2700X] CPU will offer 5% better framerate..
Regarding Intel 8700K FPS being 7% faster than AMD's second best Ryzen 2700X -- honest of AMD to show that. I note that the performance is very similar in most games but Intel wins by a larger margin in some -- so the average is 7 (on the slide shown). Both Intel and AMD have plenty of FPS showing. I would expect the Ryzen 7 2800X to close part of that 7% gap -- when/if it is released. Also, many games/apps are optimized for Intel architecture -- I imagine that may have caused the somewhat larger gaps in some games.
Apparently, all this is based on leaked (presumably not Fake) AMD slides. You can see them all here:
Of course, we don't really know until the products are released and independently tested. So far, no Ryzen 7 2800X -- it figures -- I'm waiting for that one.
