I wonder what the new chipsets will offer, given all of the key components including the IMC are on the CPU itself.
157 to 178 is a 13% improvement in the Cinebench single-thread run. They claim the chip is running at 4.35 GHz, whereas the 1800X would be running at 4-4.1 GHz in ideal conditions. So worst case scenario, it would be around 9% better with just the clock speed bump. I suspect the additional 3-4% comes from the cache latency improvements.
The multithreaded score is only up by 8%, which is odd because that's what you'd expect if you simply got the 1800X to run at 4.0 GHz on all cores. Maybe that's what the 2800X will be: 4.0 GHz boost on all cores, up to 4.35 GHz XFR single core?
It's all very confusing when you never have any idea what clock speed chips are running at in benchmarks runs.
