1500x is Ryzen "generation 1" Ryzen 2xxx is Ryzen +, similar design, BUT AMD also did some changes to reduce CCX latency, so likely they would have also re-arranged the cores design, L3 per core complex etc etc.
as for folks "complaining" only 8mb L3 cache, likely will make very little difference in the real world with only 4 cores and 8 threads to take advantage of it A and B it is 1/2 of what 2700x is (which has 16mb) and 2600 which has 16mb also (still uses 2 clusters so it makes sense)
now the 2200/2400g only have 4mb L3 cache, so likely it was "cut" from a failed core for Ryzen 2700x/2600 that could not be sold as such, so "lost" 1 core complex (4 core and 8 thread and also lost 8mb L3 as a result)
either way, more L3 than 2200/2400g have and maybe, just maybe ~$90 for 2300x ~$140 for 2500x (hoping to see below $125 CAD and $200 CAD for 2300x-2500x respectively, but I doubt it)
would be "excellent" if they both could reliably hit 4-4.2Ghz all core turbo WITH CnQ active, time will tell once 3rd party legit reviewers get their hands on them (if they bother) and test them thoroughly, this time around there might actually be a justifiable performance difference between them for the price unlike the 2200/2400g where that extra cost in the real world 8/10 did not show as well as it could..maybe L3 cache amount, maybe because the 2400g was already up against its TDP limit?
The G designates graphics. It's a completely different die hence the different code names (Pinnacle Ridge and Raven Ridge). Raven Ridge is also still on 14nm. The GPU takes the place of the second CCX. The cut L3 cache might be for die size and/or cost saving measures. Raven Ridge is slightly bigger too.

Where is it specified in Lenovo's leak that 2500X has 16 MB L3? I'm asking because previous leaks revealed 8 MB L3 for 2500X.Chyll2 - Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - link
why would it get downgraded to 8mb when 1500x has 16mb.Dragonstongue - Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - link

Please confirm whether Ryzen have 16GPU+4NVME+chipset lanes or these are the same lanes from the chipset.Trixanity - Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - link
It's 24 lanes total.Dragonstongue - Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - link
