Alright, so there are other stories about this, and others are longer, but everyone seems to just LOVE tweaktown (makes me think of tweakers).

AMD will be launching their second-generation Ryzen processors later this year, with a tease surfacing on the upcoming Ryzen 5 2600 that will succeed the current-gen Ryzen 5 1600 processor.

Starting off with some common knowledge, though I would like to indicate that I have noticed all the leaks seem to be on this particular skew. I know the R5 1600 was immensely popular, but still.

In some leaked Geekbench results, the Pinnacle Ridge-based Ryzen 5 2600 is 14.5% faster then the Ryzen 5 1600 in the single threaded test, and a huge 31.5% faster in the multi-threaded benchmark.

For reference, as I can not get copy paste to work with the town of tweakers, the Single-Core Score is 4269 and the Multi-Core Score is 20102.

The 10% we where hearing previously was already on the bigger side when it comes to what the industry standard seemed to be at. 14.5% is a pretty good jump, but up to 31.5% in certain workloads?

AMD will get more performance out of Pinnacle Ridge before it hits consumers, but if these results are right we could be in for quite the surprise with the next wave of Ryzen CPUs.

I'd say that if these numbers are correct... Consumers will be happy, but Intel probably won't be at all.

Here's a story from Forbs in case you wanna try reading it, seemed to keep causing me issues.
