AMD Ryzen 7 2800X 10-processor Cinebench Score appears
Over the weekend, rumours started to circulate about a new Ryzen 2nd Generation processor from AMD, a successor to the Ryzen 7 1800X called the Ryzen 7 2800X.

Elchapuzas Informatico has released a Cinebench screenshot which showcases a 10-core Ryzen processor, which yields a Cinebench score of around 2130. This is a notable uptick in Multi-threaded performance over the Ryzen 7 2700X, thanks to the addition of four two cores and four additional threads. No single-threaded performance numbers are shown.

The only problem with this is, well, pretty much everything. For starters, the performance shown below is almost identical to a stock Intel i7-7900X (link), a sign that this benchmark is doctored. Second, Cinebench lists the processor as a "Ryzen R7 2800X", whereas a real 2700X listing calls itself as a Ryzen 7 2700X, not a Ryzen R7 2700X. It is also worth noting that a 2700X also lists itself as an Eight-Core processor, with the R7 2800X result calling itself a "10-core", changing the naming scheme from letters to numbers. "Ten-Core" would have been more consistent.

Outside of these listing oddities, there are also core aspects of AMD's Zen architecture that would prevent a 10-core from being created, with the most obvious one being AMD's 4-core CCX model, which makes a pure 10-core impossible. AMD's CCX units can only come in sets of four, making the next step up from 8 being 12, not 10. It is also worth noting that AMD likes to keep the number of cores per CCX consistent, with six-core models using a 3+3 core configuration. Both of these facts make a 10-core Ryzen processor seem extremely unlikely.

Making new Ryzen 2nd Generation silicon would also be counterproductive for AMD right now, as they would be creating new silicon for a single new SKU, which is why early rumours called the hypothetical Ryzen 7 2800X a higher clocked variant of the Ryzen 2700X and nothing more.

A 10-core processor from AMD would also require some fundamental changes to AMD's Zen architecture, something which won't happen for a mere Ryzen 2000 series SKU, making this Ryzen R7 2800X benchmark appear to be nothing more than a fake. Take this reported Ryzen 2800X leak with a mountain of salt.

Salt gao gao .

So, this is AMD's answer to the upcoming 8 core i9-9900K? But Intel can clock it to 5ghz though lol

Though, AMD 10 core 4.0ghz is no easy feat too

10 core only?

if it sounds like bs, it's definitely bs

It's going to be hard to topple the new i9-9900K this year.

lower selling price maybe.

should be real. AMD just waiting for the 9900k to be release and boomz.

The 9900k is going to dominate somewhat for the rest of the year but Zen 2 is going to crush it if it's a 16 core processor.

Not if you consider the price. Most people look for best value, and not extreme performance for an arm and a leg. At the rumored i9 price, it is hitting Threadripper range.
