With AMD’s second generation Ryzen launch closing in, another CPU which is part of the upcoming family has leaked out. This time, we are looking at the Ryzen 7 2700X which is an 8 core, 16 thread CPU and was spotted by the guys over at Computerbase.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8 Core, 16 Thread ‘Pinnacle Ridge’ CPU Leaks Out – Up To 4.2 GHz Boost With XFR 2.0
Leaked within the Futuremark’s 3DMark database, the Ryzen 7 2700X shows up as a 8 core and 16 thread chip. The processor comes with 16 MB of L3 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache which rounds upto 20 MB in total. The TDP of the chip is maintained at 95W since this is a ‘X’ part featuring higher XFR ranges. The processor looks similar to the Ryzen 7 1700X but the clocks are where the similarities diminish.

In terms of clock speeds, the Ryzen 7 2700X operates at a 300 MHz faster base clock compared to its predecessor at 3.7 GHz and knowing from the Ryzen 5 2600 leak which had a 200 MHz of clock speeds difference between its predecessor in both base and boost clocks, the boost clock for the Ryzen 7 2700X may also operate 300 MHz faster at 4.1 GHz. But there’s also the XFR 2.0 support which should also allow a degree of boost over the boost frequency itself. It looks like the CPU will hit up to 4.2 GHz with XFR 2.0, a decent increase over the 3.9 GHz of the Ryzen 7 1700X.
Aside from the clocks and basic specifications, the Pinnacle Ridge 2nd Generation Ryzen based processors will come with a slightly enhanced Zen+ architecture which will feature the new 12nm+ process node and technologies such as Precision Boost 2.0, XFR 2.0, higher memory and cache latency speeds.
AMD 2nd Generation Ryzen ‘Preliminary’ Specs:
Do look forward to more details on Ryzen 2 based on Zen+ core architecture in the coming month. The Ryzen 2 family will feature a full range of processors which will include Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 series and also the upgraded X470 motherboards.
