AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[Yaayuh!]

It's assthetics and it only artificially inflates pricing per actual quality and even worsers functionality.
Like VRM cooling being sabotaged by those "IO covers".
Even that Colorful has that heatsink seriously bad for its size:
Flat slab has little surface area.

And functionality sabotaging cents/pennies for makers become fast €/£ for us.
Not to mention no doubt extra special gaming bling bling profit margin.

I suspect motherboards prices have moved up at least one step because of all that garbage.

I don’t think the VRMs are being covered to the point of causing any heat issues, certainly nothing people should be concerned about especially given the amount of VRMs (MOSFETs) and the spread of heat.

I don’t like the plastic crap though, so will likely remove if possible.

That colourful one looks like a terrible design for the VRM heatsink however! Looks like a 8+2 using doublers looking at how they’re grouped.

4000Mhz support!

Some motherboard showing 4400-4666+ XMP profile support. Looks might fine!

Edit: The memory latency is really good! 40ns essentially.

If real, then reducing latency alone gives a good boost in performance. Wonder if it will be the same with older motherboards?

Why are leaked screenshots always so poor?

It's easier to hide the photoshopping

to make it look like someone's taken a quick pic on a mobile on the down low maybe?

Why is there a question mark after the L1 Write?

Why is there a question mark after the L1 Write?

Because:

photoshopping

 

[Potatowithearsontheside]

Maybe, but it is evenly spaced within the box. Just seems weird.

4.6Ghz overclock, the only Zen 2 CPU's with 3.8Ghz base clocks are the 3600X and 3800X, the latter also has a 4.6Ghz boost, so how does AIDA64 read that? i mean it says (Original 3800Mhz, Overclock 21%)

 

[FoxEye]

Anyone comment on how the 3600 is doing here.

What's up with those boost clocks... seem too low. 3.6 to 3.75 in the bottom example. That's hardly boosting at all. Even the top one is only boosting to 4 Ghz. Even if that's all-core that's low, no?

As that mem latency for real?

ES chips and early bios x470, could be a number of factors.

Who knows, what is it on a well tuned Ryzen 2000?

The real best around 65.

Look again, 12 cores. Its 3900x. Not sure why they bothered blocking cpu name.

 

[RavenXXX2]

If that is legit, they have got that latency way down, no wonder gaming performance has gone through the roof.

 

[humbug]

Well, i think its possible...
