I asked this and it was pointed out that you get 300MHz more base clock with the 3800X. Still not sure that justifies / explains it.
They argued vehemently that it was "common sense" and AMD would "have to do that" to increase market share.
Adamant they were even before "leaks" such as AdoredTwit.
And anyone who said, "Hold on, they aren't going to bring the same perf as Intel at 50% of the cost" was shot down by multiple posters. Because that's just what AMD was going to do, lol.
So I make no apologies!
Ahahahahahahahahaha..... Can't believe you dragged this up. Amazing. My wife would almost certainly say the same thing lol.
Disappointing to see that the Ryzen 5 is still stuck at 6c when I think almost everyone thought it was going to be a 8c, with Ryzen 7 moving to 12c and Ryzen 9 moving to 16c
NEWSFLASH its been back from start of Zen..... I usually run 104bclk atm
The spec TDP doesn't mean it uses the full amount, otherwise the more pertinent questionis "how come the 12c SKU has the same TDP despite more cores AND higher clocks?"I asked this and it was pointed out that you get 300MHz more base clock with the 3800X. Still not sure that justifies / explains it.
Yeah, i paid £160 for my 1600, it had already been out for a little while and was discounted from £180.
I'm running it at 3.85Ghz 24/7, 3600 @ 4.1Ghz = +7%, +15% IPC = +22% + Shiny = Happy humbug = Good = £200 is worth it, + get £70 back on the 1600? £40 on the board?
There has to be more between the 3700 and 3800 than a hundred mhz to justify one or the others existence, could be all core boosts or xfr ect..
Dont think we have heard the whole story yet with these cpu's, there is likely still more to come.
not 7%.. 6.49345064935065%... do you even use that calculator i bought you?
1.0649x1.15=????not 7%.. 6.49345064935065%... do you even use that calculator i bought you?
Early 7nm Adoption? 3000 refresh with higher clocks next year?
I hope for later this year. For the next year, they have already promised 7nm+ and Zen3.

How much difference from 5820k to 3800x in single core perf? Would i be looking at 20% or so? Not sure whether to go for a lower end 8 core chip.. Don't fancy spending near 500 on just a CPU at the moment and wouldn't mind a couple of extra cores and faster single core perf.
