It isn't quite that simple. Ryzen has stupid good multithreading, and PE. You can't just make a better IMC and make a new cache system. Intel needs a new architecture to compete with Ryzen's MT.
AMD has been working on the building blocks of Ryzen, and Vega for at least 7 years. Intel can't...
That 70ns was with DDR4 2133 @ CL16. It's on par with the memory speed. http://www.corsair.com/~/media/corsair/blog/2015-09/ddr3_vs_ddr4_generational/ddr4-latency.jpg?la=en-us
No I'm talking about the supposed +25% thouroughput efficiency of the Ryzen DDR4 controller.
2400 should perform close to 3000. With CL10 it could be a very good combination. Lower latency than 3200 CL14. If it doesn't bottleneck it would be great.
Especially people using WC with no fan on the VRM's. I think that might bite quite a few people that press the XFR button with second tier motherboards.
Except that Ryzen has a lot finer voltage regulation than any previous processor out there. That combats NBTI.
Global foundries has improved it's NBTI resistance, and I think 14nm is using sigma stack to eliminate PBTI.
Here read..Dutch Geko, and Byriel explain it far better than I could. Thermal cycling will kill a CPU long before electromigration in almost all scenarios. At cooler temperatures it is practically negligible, unless you are pushing absurd voltages...
I never said it didn't. Chips are designed to operate at specific temperatures. Usually around 55-65C. Increased voltage increases the internal temperature of the chip which is dissipated via heatsink. If the chip remains below that during overclocking very little/no extra damage is incurred...
As long as temps stay cool degradation shouldn't be a problem. I'v had my Phenom II X6 OC to 4ghz for 6 years, and ran 2 1950xtx's at 100C for 4.
If AMD is still using the high temperature bump material it always has then we should be in good shape.
