So some website throwing out guesswork said they thought it would be a 16 core 5+ghz part and were wrong.... And you're upset by this... take it up with that site.

You're gonna be waiting for 4000-series if you want higher clocks.i didn't know

I'd call that unrealistic expectation, not disappointment.
Looks like you have been living under a rock. No disrespect, but where were you when 3900x came out? Did you really expect a 16 core part to OC to 5ghz when 12 core part couldn't? ROFL.
Better get one of those new 2 kW power supplies just to be safe. Need to get a new 230 VAC breaker, too (if you're in the US where we're still partying like it's 1929).I bought a 1200W power supply years ago to future proof for 10ghz netburst. STILL WAITING.
16c 32t @ 4GHz for $749 part. Not bad, not bad at all - - except the price. I know price 'makes' sense, but i think it should be $600 ($599);
Zen2 should be cheaper per core basis, and it should reflect on our wallet too, not only amd's.
// Note: intel doesn't have anything within performance, and price range of this desktop part.
Anyone remember when he created an account here to respond to criticism because a news thread about one of his Youtube videos got a lot of traction? I 'member. That was quite entertaining.Isn't it not a good idea to do all core overclocks on these anyway? Just let it do its' own boosting, and you get 4.5ish on a core or 2 for the busiest threads.
And that's what you get for watching AdoredTV, that guy is just an AMD shill.
Gamer Nexus and Bearded Hardware got the 3900x up to 5ghz + on Liquid Nitrogen a few weeks ago if I remember right.
I do it manually without a problem. Precision Boost is BS. All that fiddling to achieve what a manual overlcok can do easier and better.And doing so isn't even worth while outside of very specific benchmarks or use cases. I've done this type of testing and you are better off leaving it alone and letting Precision Boost 2 do its thing. If you set all the cores to 4.3GHz, you lose single-threaded performance which hurts you more than you might think. These CPU's still achieve 4.0GHz+ all core, so 4.3GHz isn't much of a boost outside of specific scenarios most desktop users will never benefit from.
Actually overclocking CPU's to 4.3GHz if they can do it is quite easy. It's only two or three settings that you have to manipulate to make this happen in most cases.
Your logic is sound, but they are charging us a lot more on those just because intel doesn't have anything better. Intel was doing this since inception, but doesn't mean we cannot hold our Ayymd to better standards. I only hope the shintel fans shilled out their pentium dollars on zen2 instead.I'm cool with paying AMD more (as its still far less than Intel.) Because that gives them more R&D funds to make better products in the future.

Except, the data shows otherwise. If you manually lock the CPU's clocks to 4.3GHz or lower, you will NEVER see boost clocks over 4.3GHz. That means, those one or two cores that can hit 4.7GHz or close to it never will. That's a fair bit of single-threaded performance to give up in those cases, and the numbers back that up. There are some heavily multi-threaded applications where the manual overclock will work better. I've said as much, but for general performance, that's not the case.

Come to think of it.. I'm curious how bclk overclocking works with AMD's boost technologies. I wonder if that would work with their dynamic overclocking methods to get you an extra 100mHz or so. Perhaps it would still boost to the same point or worst case it would just cause instability.
Hey, no retro-shaming allowed, here!he's too busy living in the past with his retro stuff that he forgot it's October 2019 and we already know zen 2 can't do 5Ghz..
