I still remember when not too long ago we had the opportunity to know everything that the, at that time, offered new AMD Ryzen, a new product that came to the market showing that AMD still knew how to make high quality processors and, although they took advantage of the fact that Intel seemed too relaxed at the time, something that served to enter the market through the big door originating, in turn, a huge stir.
Time has passed and there have been many traditional Intel customers who, given the power of the AMD Ryzen and especially its price, have decided, after a long time, to change providers. To this we must also add the enormous number of users who were simply looking for the best value for money And, in this, without a doubt, it had been clear since its arrival on the market that this new generation of processors developed by AMD was far superior.
The possible specifications of the new generation of AMD Ryzen processors are filtered
After all this waiting time, it is time for AMD to surprise us again with a new generation of the Ryzen range, a project that until now we know little or nothing but that, as it usually happens, mysteriously and with the passage of time. months, certain details are usually leaked to the internet that, above all, help us to locate ourselves and know what we should expect from a generation created from a project that is now much more mature and, therefore, interesting for the consumer.
Before going into much more detail, tell you that at the moment only the characteristics of the baptized as AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, a processor that comes to the market with the vitola of being the generational replacement of the famous Ryzen 7 1700X, a processor that, according to the leaked information, has been equipped with 8 physical cores capable of handling up to 16 threads thanks to a cache memory that grows up to 20 MB. To this impressive processor we have to add the data from the Ryzen 5 2600, one of those that will finally make up the mid-range and that will serve, in turn, as a replacement for the Ryzen 5 1600.
As you can see in the table located just below these lines, one of the most interesting characteristics of this new generation is that, for its construction, a new construction process has been used where efficiency is prioritized. Specifically, it has gone from the 14 nanometers of the processors that AMD introduced a little over a year ago to the current ones, where it makes use of a manufacturing process of 12 nanometers.
| AMD | Ryzen 5 1600 | Ryzen 5 2600 | Ryzen 7 1700X | Ryzen 7 2700X |
| Generation | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| Architecture | 14 nanometers | 12 nanometers | 14 nanometers | 12 nanometers |
| Nuclei | 6 | 6 | 8 | 8 |
| Threads | 12 | 12 | 16 | 16 |
| Base frequency | 3.2 GHz | 3.4 GHz | 3.5 GHz | 3.7 GHz |
| Boost | 3.6 GHz | 3.8 GHz | 3.8 GHz | 4.1 GHz |
| TDP | 65 W | 65 W | 95 W | 95 W |
More power and performance without increasing your energy needs
In addition to this result of the most interesting features that this new generation of AMD Ryzen supposedly offers, we find, for example, the fact that finally AMD engineers have proposed to significantly improve one of the problems that the first generation had, such as the memory management. To achieve this, as has been leaked, it seems that work has been done on the creation of new orders with which to improve access to the cache while reducing latency when managing a new access to it memory.
As expected, this improvement in performance in terms of cache accesses is added that AMD has improved the general performance of the processor in games thanks to the implementation of a new algorithm 'bost'. Another point in favor of these processors that, keeping the AM4 socket, the new Ryzen will consume the same as the previous ones despite the increase in both their performance and their computing power.
