That’s even faster than the maximum clock of 4.2GHz speeds enabled with XFR 2.0 that we saw from the rumored Ryzen 7 2700X. This leads us to believe the chip in question could be the Ryzen 7 2800 or 2800X, that would be the new flagship of AMD’s mainline CPUs.
On top of sharing a specification readout, HWBattle posted benchmarks that reveal the mystery chip trouncing the current Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1800X, as well as the competing Intel Core i7-8700K in CineBench and 3DMark scores.
There’s not much to support the validity of these benchmark scores, but if true, we could see dramatically better gaming performance with Ryzen …read more
