IF.......
Well then I'm willing to trade my i5 with a AMD Ryzen 5 1600X..

Always - these are interesting to read, but I'll hold my judgement for actual results from trusted benchmark runs.

IF the 6 & 8 core can hold up to Intel's high-end chips, that'll be damn impressive and probably get AMD CPUs selling like hotcakes if the pricing holds true. It'll be very interesting to see what comes of it all in a 1.5 weeks.

Score is about the same as mine on 5820K at 4.5 GHz for multithreading. So, that's certainly amazing. My single thread is around 2025 though. But at 4.5 GHz so there's that. I'm actually happy that AMD is finally competitive again. It'll accelerate multicore support of games beyond 4 cores and it'll help prices in general, even for people who will want Intel anyway. Good times

 

[r9]

Knowing that games don't need more then 4 cores.
I would love to see true quad core silicon with 91W tdp from amd.
It could provable clock close to 5GHz with turbo and that auto overclock feature.

Sooo, do want... Now hurry the feck up and take my money, I've got 24 cans of custard, that'll do, and my car's exhaust Can fall of for all I care ,skint month indoors ahead.

I would be curious to know the actual clockspeed if that is at "3.7" then it is better clock for clock than broadwell-e I highly doubt that it is at 3.7, and assume it is running a good tick above 4ghz, but again the hype train cannot tell us clockspeeds.

4.5ghz on broadwell-e pulls ~2100/13100 which puts it barely ahead of this chip at whatever clockspeed it is running. For a rumored $259 this looks to be an impressive chip and hope/pray the hype train isn't leaving us in a bulldozed hole.

Anything that is only competitive with stagnant intels from 3 generations ago frustrates me especially when people hype up a product like it is gods gift to the CPU world. I will happily wait until real benchmarks and clockspeeds show up, but as it sits color me completely and utterly unimpressed that AMD can keep up with the 6900K.

this is a real benchmark with an actual screenshot not pulled from a database with no information whatsoever, it still lacks clockspeed which is frustrating me, but that multithreading score is nothing short of great based on the single threaded score given.

1888 for single thread and 12544 gives it a 6.6x speedup for multithreading on a single core. 2143 to 13102 is a 6.1x speed up from my chip. That is what is impressing me. The acceptable single threaded score (albeit no one knows actual clockspeed), and excellent jump in multithreading.

Also remember that the quote you snagged is off of a post with AMD's flagship "$639" CPU competing with a substantially lower clocked chip. I am unimpressed by that especially if AMD is favored by 1 full ghz in clockspeed which that test showed.

Overchoo-choo I smell...

But, why the heck: CHOOOO CHOOO:

PS
Even more excited for this potentially boosting AMD GPU sales quite a bit, given Vega delivers.

I'd hardly call CPU-Z a "real benchmark" but I hear what you're saying. This or even the r5 1500 will be my next chip, don't think I will be able to afford a 8c/16t chip with the £ being a straight conversion of $ but as long as the 6c/12t can beat the shit out of my modest 4.3ghz 3570k (which everything seems to point towards it being able to quite easily in every way) then I will be a happy bunny, from what little we know they should be beating most/all i7 4c/8t let alone a 4 year old i5 so it's a promising prospect indeed.

Meaning a benchmark with actual numbers kicked out, not the data mined stuff we have been getting lately. I just want to know the actual clockspeed if this is some nonsense 5ghz XFR run I wont be as happy as I am assuming it is running at a similar speed to my broadwell-e chip. Again I am basing my opinion purely off of the spread. 6.6x speed up is pretty damn nice. Maybe this will be a kick to the old days when AMD's multithreading kicked the shit out of intel and IPC was within a few points. I could handle that just fine.

DARKSF @ guru3d did some maths and 4Ghz Ryzen IPC is faster then Skylake/Kabylake IPC.

Well actually the correct way should be to calculate the points per MHz te get proper picture on IPC

So for Ryzen 1888/3700=0.51027
for @Anarion 3770K 1900/4400 = 0.43181
for @Laci 2500K 1739/4600 = 0.37804
for @justdoge 6600K 2286/4500= 0.508
for @Only Intruder 4690K 1770/3900=0.45384
for @Warrax 2600K 1706/4500 = 0.37911
for @EL1TE 4670K 1909/4200 = 0.45452

which means that if all is scalling in linear fashion with clock on this bench the results will look like this if all the CPUs were runing at 4GHz

Ryzen 4000*0.51027 = 2041
6600K 4000*0.508 = 2032
4670K 4000*0.45452 = 1818
4690K 4000*0.45384 = 1815
3770K 4000*0.43181 = 1727
2600K 4000*0.37911 = 1516
2500K 4000*0.37804 = 1512

2 re-tested @ 4Ghz and both end up with 1point marginal error.




So, looks like AMD has a winner if those cpu-z leaks are correct.

I highly doubt they have been pushed anywhere near 5ghz and I think they will be running at turbo/around 4ghz max...just my opinion so take it with as much salt as you like, however I really feel like AMD is on to a winner with RyZen if the hype is to be believed especially considering this is the first Ryzen based silicone and their rated TDP's, we should be able to see 4-4.5ghz stock/turbo on their 8 core chips without much of a hike in TDP with refinements and subsequent revisions, something Intel just cannot do with their current SL/KL architecture which look to be pushed to the maximum already in terms of clock speed when you look at the 7700k. Here's hoping of a return to the days of Athlon vs nutburst

 

[IceScreamer]

I just have one friggin question, how did AMD do it?

IF all these leaks are true that means they caught up with Intel in one sweep.

I mean don't get me wrong, I know Bulldozer was kinda bad, but designing a chip with lesser financial resources, from scratch, on an inferior process node (compared to Intel) is damn impressive. Either that or these results are fake.

Anyway, it's looking to be an impressive chip, not that I plan to buy it or anything but it's refreshing to see competitiveness from AMD on this front.

Hype train already rumors that they hit 5ghz on air and if XFR works anything like nvidia boost does I could see them pushing higher than the 4ghz turbo the 1800x advertises with easily. Heck we don't know any of the limits, rumor was all overclocking was windows based it could be something as dumb as AMD's current overdive for GPU's. Set a higher max voltage and set the power limit to +50% boom 5ghz. That would easily explain these scores.

They did it before and gave intel the kick up it's ass it needed to design the Core series processors and have been trying to play catchup ever since, put simply, they had to after BD or face dropping out of the CPU market altogether.

I disagree, nothing in the supposed leaks (whether true or false) have hinted at them being overclocked to the hilt so we just don't know either way but from what has been leaked you could argue there is more evidence of them running at stock/turbo frequencies than being clocked at 5ghz or whatever, either way, I love all the speculation and just really want one of these chips, I wasn't on the BD hype train and was happy with my shit hot 2500k@4.5ghz at the time and rightly so, now however.... I am definitely ready to switch back to AMD after such a long time of them being behind.

If you think about what they had to do to get in the same shelf space as Intel before with a node twice the size or more it's clear they were indeed efficient given their resources ,it wasn't AMDs fault everything stayed dual core and IPC based, my 8350 has always held some potential that never got used imho, based on optimised folding and crunching for eg.
Plus they have been doing modular designs for years which allows for reuse and integration of existing IP and tech which clearly has helped.

I really don't know what to say then, IF (it's getting boring saying this) all these leaks are valid my god AMD, terrific job.

But what if the Ryzen sample clocks weren't 3700 MHz? What if XFR was active and the clock was actually higher (for example 4.0 GHz)?

 

[Crap Daddy]

Now this is where it's getting interesting. Competition at around 200$ level.

Reason I assume they are clocked higher is simple. There hasn't been a single benchmark shown that shows better IPC than intel, except after XFR was mentioned in a thread and then the scores started getting dumb for the clockspeed. Remember the 1600x is only 3.7ghz on turbo. If this chip is besting Intel at 700mhz lower, then a lot has changed from the original leaks, or this benchmark is as fake as the day is long.

But what if the Ryzen sample clocks weren't 3700 MHz? What if XFR was active and the clock was actually higher (for example 4.0 GHz)?

That is my curiosity. I really want to know actual clockspeed and I stand by my assumption that it is in the 4-5ghz range.

Agreed but we're both shooting in the dark, who's to say the original "leaks" weren't as fake as the day as long.... 11 days..... hopefully we do get some concrete leaks before then, I really can't stand the hype and anticipation for much longer either way

Put your tin hat on and consider
Intel is holding back because they command the market and so far have not needed to release anything that they have held in reserve
Now AMD comes along threatens to give intel a (Small but significant kicking )
If Intel has been milking the consumer they will soon release their withheld advanced Tech !!
