It is not only one random reddit guy, and don't mastering a foreign language means nothing about the OC abilities of Pinnacle Ridge.
You posted one random guy, then say "it's not one random guy". I don't care if he's a foreigner, per se. I'm saying anybody can post anything to reddit, and we have no way to verify any of it. This is why proper reviews with good, well-documented methodology are key.
We have now three or four different leaks pointing on the same dirrection. Of course, we have to wait to proper OC reviews, but this starts looking as a trend for Pinnacle Ridge. Recall earlier leaks for Zen showing a barrier about 4.0GHz and people being skeptic until reviews confirmed the barrier. People then expected miracles about 14LPP and some people seems now to expect miracles form 12LP.
"People"
I hate that term. Which people? When? Some random reddit guy in the AMD fan club or something? An incel in momma's basement?
I expected Ryzen to be roundabout what it was. Competitive, but still behind on a core-for-core basis. Somewhere in the 4GHz range with OC. I expected Zen+ to be roundabout +400MHz on top of that. Now, the latter seems off the table now given the base and boost clocks of the 2700X - and that is somewhat disappointing, yes. But it's hardly 'expecting miracles' either. And it's possible the +400MHz may still happen with a good OCer like Kyle and other [H]ard folks. Then again, perhaps not. We'll know soon man. PATIENCE!
