AMD’s Ryzen 2 CPUs benchmark 18% higher than first-gen Ryzen

Fresh Geekbench figures have appeared showing the relative performance of the upcoming Ryzen 7 2700X, the chip we expect to be the initial top processor in the AMD Ryzen 2 range.

Check out our pick of the best CPUs for gaming right now.

The results are dated just a few days ago now, and show how the eight-core, 16-thread CPU performs in the Geekbench suite. It’s been run in an X370 motherboard, not one of the new X470 variants, and shows a base frequency of 3.7GHz.

We’re expecting a standard boost clock of 4.1GHz, but there have been some other leaked benchmarks which seem to show a 4.35GHz clockspeed. That could either be through overclocking or potentially via some advanced XFR 2 improvements that could be tied in with the 400-series chipset.
