Core 9000 series

So 95deg flatout overclock at 5ghz 1.4v on all 8cores or 70deg 4.7/4.8?1.2v on all 8. (On that particular chip)

Going to be a pretty good performer. I wonder how much the 9900k will suffer with ht?
 
That i9 9900K geekbench result looks pretty beefy, ~30% gain in multicore vs 8700K,
~5% higher single and ~30% higher multi vs 8700K, no IPC improvements, the single bump is due to clocks
~30% higher single and ~25% higher multi vs 2700X

The main factor on how much they can snuff AMD is going to be pricing.

A 2700 must surely crack 32K, Hell my my humble 1700x @ 3.9 does a tad over 30k. singles crap @ 5k.
 
Intel are not selling many HEDT chips, they are not very good, at least if the rainforest best sellers list is anything to go by they are constantly lagging well behind the competition, even Bulldozer is consistently outselling them.

This is their attempt to reinvigorate some of that mindshare, to a limited extent it probably will work, few people will be buying the 9900K as gaming CPU's but some of those looking at the 7820-X and thinking "nope i think i'll go for this Threadripper" will go back to Intel.

Short term that's great for Intel, but in about 6 months with Ryzen 3000 the 9900K is going to be obsolete, very obsolete.

Unless Intel had a new design up it's sleeves the 9900K was obsolete 12 months ago.
 
Either they are salvaging broken 9900s and gimping them making them 9700 that work, or...
I think this is quite likely. Would make sense that 9900s which don’t meet the boost frequencies are turned into 9700s without HT and with a slight boost/clock reduction. Doesn’t make sense to intend to make a non-HT part.

They couldn’t really bin these as slower 8/16 CPUs because fast 6/12 CPUs would start to encroach.

To re-irritate what Panos said a few pages back, and to put my own spin on it i think if you're spending £400+ on a GPU you're not an average joe user, you are an enthusiast in which case you probably understand your GPU well enough to tweak it to get the most out of it.
 
Is windows that bad with ryzen? Here's mine

I got near 22K on my 1600. https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/9789609

26K on a 2700X also seems a bit low to me, i think Worzel's 30K seems more realistic.
If you browse the 2700X scores all the high scores are either running Linux or have a heavy overclock on Windows. Not sure if this is a Windows issue or just the Windows version of Geekbench.

The 26K score is the overall average across all user results.

So very little difference between a 1'st gen 6 core and a 2'nd gen 8 clocked higher.

I think its probably Windows yet again unable to deal with anything with more than four cores :rolleyes:

It must be because the Linux score is hugely higher.

7.zip is the same, compression it doesn't scale at all in Windows, yet in Linux it scales perfectly.
