“Overclocking hasn’t been a problem at all. Although we can’t announce specifics regarding frequencies due to NDA I can say that the results are impressive and overclockers will be pleased”

“With our overclocked 1800X sample cooled by the Noctua unit AMD provided in the reviewer’s kit we managed to surpass the 7700K in single threaded performance and the temperatures were great. We had no concerns about the temperatures.”

“You can achieve a good overclocking result with one click and you don’t even have to bother with manually overclocking/tuning.”

“It seems ironic yes, but with an auto-overclock the 1800X has no competition. Not even Intel’s 10 core 6950X can keep up with it.”



If the 1800x really does beat a 7700K single threaded performance once overclocked, and even the 6950x in multi-threaded performance. Then AMD really are looking to be in a strong position. Something I never thought would ever be possible. However maybe these guys have a particularly good sample. Who knows, but I can't wait for user reviews. I say user reviews, as I'm a little worried about what Semiaccurate have reported.
"Intel PR sent out a last-minute “call us before you write” email to most of the press, but not SemiAccurate, after hours last night. You could infer that they are suddenly really worried about something. In case we read that wrong, they should be."

I hope Intel isn't up to it's shady anti-trust tactics again.. just when it finally looks like the CPU market finally has competition.
 
Individual core clocking using their software tool opens all sorts of possibilities - customizeable clock profiles for gaming (4 strongest cores maxed, the rest left idle) vs heavy multithreaded loads (tune to best efficiency or set temp ceiling).
 
inb4 "but you can overclock the i7-7700K to 5 GHz"

The R7 1800X would have to clock to at least 4.5 GHz to beat the i7-7700K in single threaded performance. I'm pretty sceptical to be honest.
 
That has been very much edited by probably wccf. The original quote was that 1800x overclocked can beat the 7700k in a specific test, and likely(from other leaks) something integer based. That isn't surprising, it will be faster in a couple things, slower in others. The original quote definitely only claimed it would beat it in a single test, not all around. Though it also said it will beat the 6950k but that isn't surprising. 8 cores at lets say for the sake of argument, they overclocked to 4.2Ghz on all cores, vs a 3Ghz base clock 6950k is surely going to be very competitive.
 
I don't think Zen is going to win an IPC battle against Kaby, and it won't clock as high but if it's close it looks like a stonking buy.

This feature sounds particularly useful to me. My 6700K seems to have one particularly weak core when testing under prime95. However as it's only 4 cores, and 4 cores are easily utilised, it's better for me to just lower my overclock.

Tbh, I think what your saying sounds far more probable.

wccftech post a load of **** for the majority of the time. I don't even bother looking on there anymore even when someone posts a link.
 
dunno why 4.5 ghz seems unlikely with overclocking, given the normal lee way you get with things, think thats just 12.5% more than 4.0ghz, if my maths is right and ryzen seems really effiecent power wise, thatll help.
 
That doesn't seem very high to be honest but it's still early days, I'd expect max clocks for most folk on standard cooling to be at least a full ghz lower than that.
 
With a good enough cooler I guess 4.4Ghz is possible

They have managed 5.2Ghz with extreme cooling so I reckon 4.4/4.5Ghz with a good WC setup would be more than possible.

There is rumour of the cinebench screen shot of 4.66ghz being on water, so perhaps that's roughly what the maximum clocks will be on water.
So maybe the OC range we can expect is 4.3-4.6Ghz, which I'd be happy with.
