AMD Ryzen 7-1800X Cracks 5.20 GHz OC with LN2 and All Eight Cores Enabled

[btarunr]

AMD's upcoming Ryzen series processors promise to be an overclocker's treat. A PC enthusiast with access to a Ryzen 7-1800X sample managed to achieve an extreme overclock of 5.20 GHz with liquid-nitrogen cooling, and more importantly, not having to disable any cores to stabilize the OC. The 5201.07 MHz overclock, achieved by cranking the base-clock up to 137.78 MHz, and the multiplier up to 37.75X, backed by a core voltage of 1.875V, was even tested to be bench-stable, scoring 2,363 points in Cinebench R15. This also reveals that you should be able to finely crank up the base-clock multiplier in steps of 0.25X, (as opposed to 0.5X). The Ryzen 7-1800X will be available on the 2nd of March, 2017, priced at $499.

Don't get me wrong. 5.2 is impressive. Is it LN2 impressive? Ehhaaa.. Uhh... Eh.

That said, this cinebench score is terrifyingly high.

Waiting for air cool numbers, especially on chips like the vanilla 1700

End of year for me, my 8350 hits 5.0 on air, ryzen should be able to do it on the same cooler or further

Broadwell-e is the same thing on LN2. With most chips gettibg just over 5Ghz on LN2.

Seriously doubt this is doable, regardless of the cooler used. Remember: twice the cores.

That said, 5.2 on LN2 seems kind of low, though it's "8 core - 16 thread bench stable" and not just "1 core CPU-z pic-with-a-camera stable".

Mines all 8 cores with a Ryzen Blender benchmark, it pushes the temps hard. 8physical coes is 8 physical cores, smt/hypthr is almost like ddr.

Nice, curious how high it will go on AIO though as that's what most buyer gonna use when overclocking it I suspect

BTW is that SHA a new instruction exclusive on AMD or Intel's gonna supports it too in future CPU?

Even though AMD claims otherwise, bulldozer and piledriver are more like 4 core, 8 thread processors then 8 core native. Even if you consider them 8 core, that's still 8 core, 8 threads. On the other hand, (from what we can tell) this time around it really IS 8 core, 16 threads.

Please correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it necessary to turn off HT in Intel's CPUs to achieve higher "all cores active" OCs, for benching purposes? IF this is the case, then this cinebench pic @btarunr posted is more impressive because it also shows that all 16 threads are active.

 

[ratirt]

Well it is impressive but i got a question regarding the CineBench readings of the CPU core count. It says 16 core 16 thread. Shouldn't it be 8 core 16 thread? Not sure of the benching program itself. Maybe it's the way the cores are being count with the threads included and it shows correctly. Not a cinebench benchmarker here but normally it would say 8c/16t not 16c/16t. Am i right?

Buildzoid has it, 6900k caps out around 5.2Ghz itself. This is perfectly acceptable. I'm personally hoping that 4.5Ghz is achievable with good air\wc.

Ryzen beat the Cinebench R15 world record for 8 core cpus at 5.2GHz, I think that is very impressive. (The image in the OP is not of the WR, for that there is a video on vimeo)

I noticed that as well but since i've never used cinebench myself, didn't know if this was normal or not.

Wait....it says it was run on Windows 7?

Don't understand: why is running on windows 7 relevant?

Please explain your reasoning.

Technically Ryzen doesn't fully support Win7. In the scheme of things I doubt it makes fuck all of a difference (afterall, Kaby doesn't either), but something to take into account.

I see: hadn't realised that! Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Aenra]

Apart from e-peen, the modern plague of the nerd 21st century, explain to the ignorant peasant what the point of this is?
/rhetorical

Put differently? This shows how twisted this market has become.. he has one in his hands, all sorts of tests, comparisons, empirical observations he could have made/gone for. But what does he do, lol? He OCes it in LN2..
Normal, mature, 101% everyday ole use

Yes yes, i know, some of you are about to have an apoplexy, reading this. Still so though. As long as priorities are so twisted, as long as an entire market decides merely by watching numbers pass it by.. numbers it won't reach by the way..
Anyway. Looking forward to 'normal' tests. Just thinking of all the drama about to ensue if Ryzens are indeed -that- good makes me smile in anticipation, lol

More like Windows 7 doesn't fully support Ryzen, it can run them fine, just doesn't take advantage of all the instruction sets.

 

[Owen1982]

Seems like a pretty good score when you consider this absolute beast of a server did 8177 points and it has 96c/192t:

https://www.servethehome.com/william-harmon-crushes-cinebench-r15-now-xeon-e7-v4/

AMD proc had 16t and did 2300 - not bad.

 

[HTC]

Personally, i'm looking for either a 1500 or 1300 Ryzen (both non X), so i can underclock it: should be a rather nice upgrade over my current APU (in system specs).

This means this March 2 launch isn't really for me, BUT will let me know the full capabilities of the Ryzen chips.

I do have quite a few concerns because i don't want to be forced to change to windows 10 and Ryzen may require it, and my OS is OEM, so changing motherboards may be a problem. Will see how the reviews pan out before i make my final decision.

More like MS fear mongering people into using Windows 10

It wouldn't surprise me if in a few months MS silently rolls out an 'update' that makes kaby Lake and ryzen systems running win 7 and 8 randomly start blue screening.

Just my two cents.

 

[silentbogo]

Current more or less official WR for an octa-core is 2445pts for i7-5960X @ 6GHz.
Since the overall trend is not going with previous "leaked" results (e.g. same performance at almost 20% lower clock), I can either assume that it was clocked higher, or something is amiss in this picture.
previously R7 1800x was just a tad faster than i7-6900K at slightly lower clocks(e.g. the same).
Or comparing to stock 1800X benches... a ~30% overclock with ~53% performance boost?.... in the real world it does not scale like that! You can't get more for less.

Don't understand: why is running on windows 7 relevant?

Most official competitions, and even HWBot submission system still uses Win7 and below as a primary benching platforms. Most Win8/10 scores are considered valid, but are not accepted for any kind of competitive OC scoring (at least it was like that few months ago). The only thing I do not understand, is why there are still no submissions on HWBot or any kind of validation?
It's nice to yell in front of a camera, that "we broke the world record", but the truth of the day - there are no valid submissions, no screenshots, nothing...

do we know the transistor count?

what kind of OEM... a key you got from a store (where MS license states they must sell the copy with a blank hard drive)? that should be fine, you reactivate it

 

[silentbogo]

Somewhere in the ballpark of 4.5-4.8 billion. A lot more than 6950X (3.8b).
