AMD Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X CPU Review

AMD’s Ryzen 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X: Filling in Some Gaps

Much like the first gen counterparts, the 2500X is a quad core processor with simultaneous multi-threading while the 2300X is a straight forward quad core. AMD’s Mainstream 7 2700X

Both of these processors use AMD’s Zen+ microarchitecture, built on GlobalFoundries’ 12nm manufacturing process node. The main obvious reason for not releasing several parts at similar price points is to cannibalize each other’s sales – by offering the 2500X and 2300X as OEM-only parts, it allows AMD to maintain a rigid stock based on order requirements, while the 2400G/2200G can be sold on the open market.
