Proving once again that the only way to keep a secret is to not share it, Lenovo seems to have accidentally published the specifications of AMD’s yet-to-be announced Ryzen 3 2300X and Ryzen 5 2500X processors. The new chips are aimed at mid-range systems, but feature an unlocked multiplier as well as XFR on-the-fly frequency adjustment, which makes them particularly appealing to enthusiasts looking for additional bits of performance.

Lenovo will offer AMD’s Ryzen 3 2300X and Ryzen 5 2500X processors with its ThinkCentre M725 SFF desktops along with a variety of other CPUs from the manufacturer, based on the spec sheet (published below). Eventually, AMD will make the chips available to its retail customers, replacing existing Ryzen 3 1300X and Ryzen 5 1500X products, but exact launch dates are unknown.

The first details about the Ryzen 3 2300X and Ryzen 5 2500X processors were published back in May, so now we just need to fill in the gaps. Both CPUs feature four cores (with or without SMT) clocked at 3.5 – 3.6 GHz default that can automatically boost their frequency to 4 GHz, an increase when compared to the first-generation Ryzen chips. Besides, the new CPUs support DDR-2933 memory, another upgrade of Zen+ designs vs. original Zen. As for thermal dissipation, the chips are speced for a 65 W TDP, which makes them compatible with a wide range of systems.
