It has been a great year in 2017 for AMD Ryzen CPUs to regain part of the market share back from Intel. AMD is expected to launch the Ryzen 2000 series processors, codenamed Pinnacle Ridge in Q2 2018. There are still months away from the official unveiling of the new processors, but recently Ryzen 5 2600’s benchmark score was leaked on Geekbench.
All Pinnacle Ridge CPUs will be using the refined 12 nm Zen+ microarchitecture. According to the benchmark, the Ryzen 5 2600 is retaining the 6-core, 12-thread structure with 3 MB of L2 cache and 32 MB of L3 cache. The processor has a base clock of 3.40 GHz, and a possible boost clock of 3.80 GHz. It got 4269 in single-core score, and 20102 in multi-core score. When compared with its older brother, Ryzen 5 1600, the 2600 scored approximately 10% higher in single-core and 15% better in multi-core performance.
This particular benchmarking system was using the AMD Myrtle platform, with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview. There are still some time for AMD to optimize the new Ryzen processors, this leaked benchmark may not accurately represent the performance of the Ryzen 5 2600.
