A leaked geekbench entry is making rounds this weekend, a six-kernel Ryzen 3000 was spotted, presumably the new entry-level processor from AMD. It seems it has a higher single-core performance than the Ryzen 7 2700X.

Judging from the Geekbench entry, AMD's Ryzen 3000 is significantly faster than the currently available generation. A six-threaded (hexa) six-core that clocks comparatively modestly achieves a higher single-core value than a Ryzen 7 2700X . The latter throws 3.7 GHz and a boost of 4.3 GHz into the balance. Said Ryzen 3000 runs according to the entry only with 3.2 and a 4 GHz turbo. Nevertheless, it is enough for a single-core score of 5,061. Depending on what entry you choose, Ryzen 2700X does roughly 4,923 points.

On Reddit users have dusted their Ryzen 2600 immediately, which of course offers a better comparison with six cores and twelve threads. Despite overclocking to 4 GHz, it only reaches 4,564 points. The multi-core score of the tried and tested Ryzen 5 2600 is 22,143 - the unnamed Ryzen 3000, however, managed 25,481, the already mentioned above Ryzen 7 did 25,209. Even the multi-core performance would be slightly higher. This suggests that AMD was able to increase the IPC by at least ten percent.

Of course, it is just silly old geekbench which says little. However, it is not the first leak of this kind. Earlier reports have shown 10 to 15% increases in IPC alone. Six cores is presumably the smallest of all upcoming Ryzen processors based on Matisse (ZEN2 / Ryzen 3000).
