AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Sample Shows Up on Chinese Gray Market

btarunr · Aug 24, 2022

An alleged AMD Ryzen 5 7600X "Zen 4" engineering sample showed up on the Chinese gray market. The sample is reportedly clocked at 4.40 GHz, which is below the 4.70 GHz base frequency of the 7600X as shown in leaked specs sheets; with a rumored boost frequency of up to 5.30 GHz. It looks like 6-core/12-thread will indeed be the core-configuration for the Ryzen 5 7000 series, with which Intel hopes to take on 13th Gen Core i5 that has 6P+4E (16-thread) on the lower-end SKUs, and 6P+8E (20-thread) on the higher-end ones.

Base clock is higher than my OC. I would like it muchly. If I had a mobo and DDR5.

This thing looks worse than a park bench. Everyone who got his hands on it left a mark, lol.

Did there someone carve the "AM" in front of "D ENG SAMPLE"? :laugh:

Wondering what's under the tape.

@btarunr Apart from this sentence being a bit on the cumbersome side, I'm fairly certain it should read:

what does "diffused" mean in this context?

It means "actual transistors on the wafer made" (in a certain country). Some legislation probably requires this to be written on the package.

A very simple description of several steps, including diffusion, which is a small but crucial part of the long process of transistor making: https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/diffusion

So disappointing multithreaded performance will be the shining mark of Zen4. In addition to the absence of proper i5 competitors. Intel will win in performance and vakue this time round.

Seems like quite the bright crystal ball you have there.

Hold horses. We still don't know how street pricing and actual performance across the board looks like.
