The overclocking details come straight from Chiphell where forum member ‘One Month’, the same guy responsible for showing us the first look at the Ryzen 3000 APUs has given us the overclocking details for Ryzen 3000 CPUs.

  • 4.8GHz is achievable on all cores
  • ~4.4GHz performs similar to a 5Ghz 9900k – in Cinebench
  • 5.0GHz is doable, but it’s a challenge
  • Overclock for overclocking, Ryzen 3000 is still faster
  • 5GHz boost isn’t infeasible
  • 5Ghz all core is pretty much a no-go.
  • 1.35V for all core 4.5Ghz
  • Memory is being run very loose and slow to assure the stability for testing
I would still take with a grain of salt but the source has proven credible in the past. That Aida64 screenshot of 3900X @ 4.6Ghz looks tasty too.

The article keeps just saying Ryzen 3000. Ryzen 3900x with 12 cores @ 4.4ghz being equivalent to an 8 core 9900k in Cinebench is much less impressive than say the 8 core 3700x @ 4.4 being equivalent. I assume they are talking about the 3900x but it would be nice if they were less obscure about it.

AMD, at least in this instance (I'm not up on their historical comparisons), to be comparing chips of similar cost. $489 - 9900k, $499 - 3900x.
 
while I expect the overclock to be around 4.5ghz at least. WCCFTECH is quoting translations from redditt discussion and picking and choosing. lol! Honestly whether its true or not they need stop linking Reddit posts where people are still debating what was said. He took one particular comment lol.

This is directly from redditt.

But people are still debating the translations lol. and WCCFTECH makes a whola article about it.

5GHZ is doable but its a challenge and then 5ghz all core is pretty much a no-go. Someone typing that translation should have known that is contradicting in its own lol.
 
As much as I love AMD; they can’t just match performance with intel. They need to pull an Athlon again and beat Intel. Both in IPC and hopefully MHz as well. I’m concerned these lower clocks will hinder AMD in that regard. Intel still sold plenty of slower P3/4 cpus when AMD was stomps them in performance. And this Navi pricing rumor is nuts if true. I’d love a Radeon card again but not at parity pricing.

Not sure what you are talking about. Wait for the reviews will you? Its looking good and 3800x is matching or beating 9900k with less boost clocks.

I do think they are referring to the show demo system beating intel 9900k with 8core/16t Ryzen 2 at 4.4 or 4.5! I could be wrong

Look, I wanna believe but I’ve been burned by thre AMD hype machine too much to trust. And re benches amd is winning. I don’t play cinebench. I play games. If amd is better, great sign me up. I’m just saying, how I’m reading the tea leaves; is that AMD isn’t getting the clocks we wanted as of yet. I’m worried that will translate to performance parity vs beating intel. And they have to beat them and offer compelling pricing to get people to switch. I hope they are not squandering their opportunity

If by "clocks we wanted" you mean the stupid rumors that were never more than rumors and wishful thinking its kind of your fault for expecting it. Also, there is a lot more to performance than raw clock speed.
 
If it can't run at 5ghz, not biggie. It just needs to be fast.
 
The PC industry is one of goldfish mentality. Intel have never replicated the same perf/efficiency value of Sandybridge at the time when lower (if 3.3-3.7 is actually slow) clocks delivered exceptional performance at great efficiency. Now there is this 5ghz love affair that I can only attribute to lay baseball fans thinking a pitchers ERA is the be all and end all without understanding of XFIP, SIERA or more advanced metrics.

I am a take out the box, put together and use person. I don't buy aftermarket cooling and right now if you want to run a intel K part I need to drop 1-2K on a top end cooler whereas going to a 2600 was out the box into the ITX setup and no issues. AMD has found a way to Sandybridge, deliever good performance at great efficiency and I can do it saving a lot of money.

Hoping for some nice AMD ITX boards as a 3600 looks very appealing to now retire the 5960X

Wait... what top end commercially available consumer cooler would you need to pay even 1K for? A fully custom water cooled system wouldn't cost you 1k, even with 2 GPU water blocks, a mono block, and RAM cooler...
 
Intel still sold plenty of slower P3/4 cpus when AMD was stomps them in performance.

Intel got pretty close as soon as they decided to stop using RDRAM, and they maintained an edge in chipset and driver stability for most of the pre-Athlon64 releases.

Also, there is a lot more to performance than raw clock speed.

IPC * clockspeed --> single-core performance. As nice as it would be for all of our workloads to be parallel and thread-friendly, many still aren't, so single-core performance is still important.

In my country working on taxes and hyper inflation:

H115i is 2.5K
H100i RGB is 2.4K
NZXT Kraken 240ml - 1.9K
Hyper 212 is 600 bucks but bulky and ugly.

9900K is 11K while a 2700 is 4.3K so I can imagine a 3700 being well cheaper than the 9900K which is currently being flogged by all distributors for specials now. I guess they foresee Intel parts selling badly again soon.

I need higher overclocks, higher IPC and higher core counts so that i can run more things that secretly track everything I do.

But it is a biggie.
