Current Ryzen 2000 lineup is still missing Zen+ quad-core processors. This is about to change as AMD is preparing to launch Ryzen 3 2300X and mid-range B450 motherboards.

AMD Ryzen 3 2300X

The Ryzen G-series featuring Vega graphics may soon get an alternative without the iGPU. The Ryzen 3 2300X and other rumored SKUs, such as Ryzen 5 2500X, are coming, as indicated by the leak over at Chiphell.

A picture of yet unseen Ryzen 3 2300X was published running on Biostar X370 motherboard. The CPU in question allegedly boosts up to 4.2 GHz, and even up to 4.315 GHz when overclocked (it may require an aftermarket cooling solution though).

This quad-core, 65W TDP processor is aiming to replace Ryzen 3 1300X CPU, currently available for 125 USD. New mid-range SKUs are expected to launch together with B450 motherboards.

The only available quad-core CPUs in Ryzen 2000 series feature on-board Vega graphics.
