I changed my motherboard from an Asus Prime pro to a ASUS CROSSHAIR VI HERO
I mean, why not. I want the extra VRM cooling, plus I want to use my 3200mhz DDR4 sticks.
Someone posted benches on userbenchmark with the 1700X (albeit it claims turbo was disabled). Interestingly, the floating point and integer scores favor Intel (15-20ish %). Here's some comparisons to Ivy Bridge E and Haswell E:
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/In ... 2580vs3915
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/In ... 1976vs3915
Is this due to the Ryzen having turbo disabled or could it be a design oversight that could cause Ryzen to underperform?
A 1700 that isn't even OC'd!? lol Get real...
1700x vs 7700k
1700x is winning by a mile!
I'm going to take a "wild stab in the dark" and say it's faker than my cat's regret over destroying one of my laptops with water.- That QS SKU doesn't belong to a 1700 nor 1700X (1800X).
- There is a typo in the QS SKU
- There is a typo in the CPU-Z info (K17X)
- The clocks don't match with 1800X
- The clocks don't behave like that on Zeppelin
No idea if the leak is real, thou
Seronx suggest that what you mark as WTF is actually the memory controller. 2x72bit (9 big blocks on each side) one at that. I have done some digging and he is right, Haswell-E has 2 of these WTF things. So yes, it is probably 2 channel memory controller.Any thoughts on the highlighted block?

Final reviews will reveal the truth, be it good or bad. Interestingly, Canard PC Hardware included Arma III and Anno 2070 in their gaming result. This way the 3.15GHz base and 3.4GHz boost clocked ES likely left some performance points on the table.Fantastic article. Demolishes the claim that single-threaded performance still trumps gaming. Ryzen will clean the floor with Intel in all segments, gaming included.
THE CCX are mirrored(you can see it quite easily in the high rez die shot) so going north/ south is probably easier.
And yes i agree this GMI links are the long interfaces that are together, they look nothing like any other DDR interface i have seen in any dieshot.
i dont see what you are seeing in the haswell-E die shot, and then go look at skylake or broadwell die shots, nothing looks like that "GMI" interface.Seronx suggest that what you mark as WTF is actually the memory controller. 2x72bit (9 big blocks on each side) one at that.

What you think are memory controllers are probably GMI links.
Yes, i thought the bottom DDR too. For whatever reason, i did find it more resembling of the WTF thing, than what we think is actual mem controller.the bottom looks like DDR
i feel sorry for AMD, they seemed to have bought quite a few 6900x for all these demos at $1050 only to see their prices drop by upto 50% in a few days times. Sad!
