Ryzen 2 Is First 12nm PC Processor: Like Clockwork, AMD Boosts Performance of Desktop Lineup

摘要

A year after bringing its first Ryzen products to market, AMD began shipping its second generation. Taking advantage of a transistor shrink from 14nm to 12nm, the company squeezed a bit more performance into its desk- top-PC processors, keeping pace with Intel's Coffee Lake. In particular, the flagship Ryzen 2700X gets a 10% boost, keeping it close to the Core i7-8700K in single-thread performance. On highly multithreaded applications, such as content creation, the eight-core 2700X outruns the six-core 8700K by a considerable margin.
