First of all: Thank you. Great review. Really appreciated.
So changing the voltage and the BCLK do not enable OC mode, right? It would be really interesting to get some numbers about max BCLK for PCIe 2.0.
That should enable some descent performance upgrades for the 1800X and explains, why the...

According to this the chips really seem to be running near their limits. I'm curious if the 1800X will be better (because of binning)
There are no drivers per se, you are right. But IIRC e.g. for Bulldozer der were some Windows Updates that greatly enhanced performance. I think they patched the scheduler to make better use of the modules ore something like that. So OS updates might still be coming. Although they might not be...
Actually that was the 1700. Not the 1700X. The X clock higher.
Also we are talking about 100$ difference in price, and 65W vs 140W. If you take that into account the numbers are actually pretty good.
Might have been unstable mobo firmware. It was on the crosshair, right? If the stability of early versions for am2+ and am3 Mainboards by Asus are any indication, that might get much better in the next few versions.
But that's starting to sound like wishful thinking even to me ;)
Sounds reasonable. There has to be A LOT more OC potential for me to go for the R7 1800X. Also Gigabyte caught my eye with the GA-X370 Gaming 5 (http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-AX370-GAMING-5-rev-10). Seems to have the same specs as the higher-end K7, only with different coloring. Much...
I would actually claim that they still are in Pentium Pro, not on Nehalem. That's kind of hard to define though, as @IntelUser2000 pointed out you might also say they did the "switch" with Sandy Bridge.
If you consider what happenden to AMD in the last 10 years you can see why they would stay...
It seems to me, that all of the "bad" oc results that are being leaked are not 1800X but other models. This could also indicate heavy binning of chips. This would make a lot of sense, because it's a pretty new process for GF... If these really are max OCs, than I'm gonna get a 1700 for sure...
Well, let's see. When thinking about all we currently know about the architecture I don't see why there should be such a low frequency cap. But of course I might be missing something.
I would also really be interested in the mainboards used for the leaked OCs.
Let's just say I can't wait for...
I don't think, that 4.2 is even close to max on water. Stock boost clock is 4.0. 200 MHz OC from stock cooler to water? I don't think so. At least I don't hope so, that would be really bad.
Is it just me, or does 5.2 on nitrogen sound kinda disappointing? For water (or even air) it would be pretty impressive, but on nitrogen this sounds a little bit like a hard cap... Can't wait to see OC reviews...
You could say that ;)
Thermalright Ultra-120 + liquid metal thermal compound + 2x Scythe GentleTyphoon 5400 ;)
But my point is that - given a good cooling solution - I think the FX will clock better than the i5...
Only 300 MHz above the turbo clock would be really disappointing IMO. If XFR really increases max turbo clock (we'll see about that) it would be pretty pointless for 300 MHz.
I expect at least 4,5 GHz on air. Unless there is some bug preventing higher clocks. I think from a TDP point of view it...
AMD desperately needs to get market share. So I'm guessing (hoping) they try to be noticeably cheaper then Intel. But that still would mean 400 $ at the VERY least i guess.
I'm seriously starting to freak out about these clocks :) Can't wait to get my hands on this chip. At this point I don't even care about the price anymore :D
What I don't really get is why they insist on max 95W TDP. It seems that those chips clock pretty high, why not push it to 125W? Or 140W...

Seems to be for PCIe as some suggested:
"CPU is supplied through the 8+4 pin connector, the 24-pin ATX connector powers the board while an extra 6-pin power connector lies at the bottom to provide extra juice to the PCIe slots when running...
I'm running a FX 8350 on my main rig.
5 GHz on air, paired with DDR3-2133 and 2 7970 GHz Editions.
This is with some serious air cooling though ;)
Even on 4 GHz it's a nice machine though, depending on what you wanna do of course.
E.g. for gaming the 4 GHz haven't limited performance as far as...
