... and beyond. Nah, for now I expect about 2-5% points higher SMT yield on top of the 1T IPC gain.To the moon you say?

Jesus Christ, that's brilliant!The OC tool is called Ryzen Master.
I laughed my ass off!
Something I've been thinking about and haven't seen anyone address really.
Recently some material has been leaked from the AMD's ISSCC presentation: https://videocardz.com/65774/more-details-about-amd-zen-cpu-core-revealed-at-isscc
The curious tidbit is this:
The material claims that AMD has a local LDO voltage regulator. LDOs are typically linear but in other article I've seen a mention of the term "digital LDO", it's kind of a weird name but anyways I think this is a switching regulator.. as linear regulators would make no sense (they waste too much power).
Why am I bringing this up? Well anyone who's worked with electronics can tell you that voltage regulators/LDOs or whatnot have a dropout voltage. I think one of the reasons we've been seeing higher than usual voltages in various screenshots (1.87v in that 5.2Ghz LN2 OC and 1.35v in that Ryzen Master screenshot for 3900Mhz) is because of the dropout voltage needed to compensate for this LDO.
The voltage being reported is the voltage at the Vin or at the VRM.. but the cores need a certain margin to compensate for the dropout in each LDO regulator.
So this is something to keep in mind when thinking of voltages.
I am disappointed about that as well because I really do not need performance at the moment but I sure do want to play with it. A 1100 or a 1300X would have been nice.So the "full stack" at launch was just BS and this is mostly a paper launch? with 2/3rds of the line not being released??
This is disappointing i was looking froward to thr 6 and 4 core OC results from the initial batches.
Was that 4.66 8C16T LNC or...?
Has anybody noticed that AMD is using Cinebench for their benchmark? I think that's weird, I mean I've been told on this forum so many, many times that you can't use Cinebench to compare between AMD and Intel because it's biased towards Intel.
So what's up with that? Do you think AMD designed Ryzen to do good in Cinebench?

I feel like I'm missing something funny about "Ryzen Master"?
Ricin or raisin? I like raisins. Ricin not so much.
AMD was known for underperforming in an area. What better way to announce a return to competitiveness than by demonstrating they now trade blows with the best (Intel) while offering a much better value proposition?
I would have preferred Zen Maester

So here's the really important question that seems to have been missed:
Is it pronounced 'risen' or 'rye-zen'? I defaulted to the former but Lisa Su seems to disagree and I don't want to be making a fool out of myself in public (in the imaginary world where I have friends that actually care about the cpu market anyway).
Isnt strange that the i7 6900k used in the comparison with Ryzen by Amd have the lowest score ever recorded on any review?
is about 100 points lower, not a big deal but still thats a cheap move from Amd...
You are the one that needs to "let it go". Your post is the one filled with venom.It was created as an amd bashing thread by a troll that devotes countless hours of his life to hate amd.
I bet if I go look at that old thread I will see that Fritz benchmark that was proven fake almost immediately after they were posted.
The perpetrators mostly went to troll another forum, and it is a far better environment because of it. I imagine the shame will keep them away for awhile.
EDIT: Ohh look there it is...
PS: idk why you want to stir that pot though. Just let it go.
