AMD Preps New Ryzen 2000-Series CPUs: 45W Ryzen 7 2700E & Ryzen 5 2600E

AMD is gearing up to release four new Ryzen 2000-series processors based on a listing in ASRock’s CPU compatibility chart. The new Ryzen 5 2600E and Ryzen 7 2700E products feature a reduced TDP and are aimed at SFF and fanless systems, whereas the Ryzen 3 2300X, as well as the Ryzen 5 2500X parts, are designed for enthusiasts as well as overclockers on a budget.
The energy efficient Ryzen 5 2600E and the Ryzen 7 2700E will be AMD’s first Ryzen CPUs featuring a 45 W default TDP. Previously AMD has offered various Ryzen chips with configurable 45 – 65 W TDP that required system builders to activate the former profile for low power PCs, which in some cases could mean unpredictable performance. By contrast, the new products guarantee 2.8 – 3.1 GHz frequencies at 45 W, if ASRock’s CPU compatibility chart for the AB350M Pro4 motherboard is to be believed.
Just like their 65 W brethren, the energy efficient Ryzen 5 2600E and the Ryzen 7 2700E feature six and eight cores respectively (based on L2 capacity listed by ASRock). According to the motherboard maker, the Ryzen 5 2600E runs at 3.1 GHz, whereas the Ryzen 7 2700E runs at 2.8 GHz default frequency. Meanwhile, the motherboard maker does not list boost clocks. In any case, an addition of two 45 W parts into the Ryzen 2000-series lineup is a big deal for PC makers and DIY enthusiasts who want to build a SFF or even a fanless system based on AMD's latest CPUs.

Moving on to the new Ryzen 3 2300X and Ryzen 5 2500X processors. As expected, both feature four cores (with or without SMT) clocked at 3.5 – 3.6 GHz, an unlocked multiplier, a 65 W TDP, and Precision Boost 2 that automatically increases clock rate when a CPU is installed into an appropriate motherboard. Both chips are aimed at overclockers and enthusiasts on a budget, so expect them to be priced accordingly.

AMD has not announced the four aforementioned chips officially, so the company will not comment on them. It is unclear when and whether the energy efficient parts are set to hit the channel market, but in the past AMD sold its "E" products alongside with full-fledged ones. What remains to be seen is of course pricing of the new chips as well as cooling systems that AMD intends to bundle with the new parts.

Getting some more 2nd Gen Ryzen parts is always good. I'm surprised that the 2500X/2300X don't have any higher clocks. They should still be better than the outgoing parts, but I'm surprised AMD didn't roll in more performanceAlexvrb - Friday, June 1, 2018 - link
"Both chips are aimed at overclockers and enthusiasts on a budget"I choose to read this as "Overclock to ~4.1 Ghz on a budget, and also reap IPC and IMC improvements previously available only to $200+ price points."

Good info, except- the leaked AMD product list showed both 2500X and 2300X with 8MB of L3 (Product codes YD230XBBM4 *K* AF and YD250XBBM4 *K* AF).2 MajGenRelativity: do not mind the base clocks- these chips will still be soldered Pinnacle Ridge, and I'm sure they will boost much higher than Raven Ridge, offering better performance.

Well, seeing as how we don't know the boost clocks, it's too early to guess. While Precision Boost 2 will help improve clocks in practice, the non-improved base clocks do not give me much hope for a greatly improved top boostT1beriu - Thursday, May 31, 2018 - link
>these chips will still be soldered Pinnacle RidgeAsrock says AM4, it's on the first column of the table. :D

I meant it as solder between the chip and heat spreader.ManuelDiego - Thursday, May 31, 2018 - link
Even if boost clocks weren't much higher, Zen+'s ability to boost more cores higher (than the only 2 cores boosted in gen 1) should already make quite a difference. It is disapointing, though, to see the same base clocks.ruthan - Thursday, May 31, 2018 - link
Here is middle Europe are not sitll Available 35W Ryzen GE chips, there were annonced long time ago..T1beriu - Friday, June 1, 2018 - link
They are OEM only. You should start seeing them in systems in a 2-4 months from now.Alexaaaaa - Monday, November 19, 2018 - link
