Youtube User Tum Apisak has been responsible for a number of leaks and spots, often he was spot on. That said, he posted a screenshot of what seems to be a Ryzen 7 2700X processor in the 3DMark database. If this is a true valid screenshot when compared towards the Ryzen 7 1700X, the base clock is 300 MHz higher and the Turbo reached 4100 MHz.

The screenshot reveals pretty much all we need to know and expect about the 12nm Zen+ update and leaves little else to say. So let's keep things simple and understandable and compare the 2700X towards the 1700X.

Processor model Cores/Threads L3 Cache TDP Base Turbo Unlocked AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8/16 16 MB 95 W 3.7 GHz 4.1 GHz Yes AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 8/16 16 MB 95 W 3.4 GHz 3.8 GHz Yes AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8/16 16 MB 65 W 3.0 GHz 3.7 GHz Yes

With the base clock raised you should see some better single core performance, and combined with a Turbo to 4100 MHz, things would look pretty good. I can only assume that XFR remains active as well, which could boost another 100 MHz also. Tum Apisak did not share a link, he never does.

Ryzen 2000 are 12nm Zen+ optimized Ryzen processors, the 'refresh' SKUs so to say. 12nm Zen+ processors will work with your X370 chipset based motherboard, however, AMD will launch the new X470 chipset alongside the new Zen+ processors. The new chipset should offer small improvements and use less power. Details in specs are not yet known though.
