AMD Ryzen 9 3950X: Overclocked to 5 GHz Allcore faster than Intel Core i9
You've been able to read up on a lot of news and article about the pending Ryzon Series 3000 processors. The one proc that made a lot of news is, of course, the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, however at the event, we attended there was live overclocking and thus the first OC and benchmark results are already in.
The 16-core with 32 threads and 72 MiByte L3-Cache proc is bound to set some records. The overclocking btw was done with LN2, as we do not see you get 16 cores at 5 GHz on LCS lol. So the base specs are as follows, the 16-core clocks has a moderate 3.5 GHz base clock but can boost to up to 4.7 GHz on individual cores. Tweaking this to all-cores 5 GHz certainly is going to bust that 105 watt TDP but when it was tweaked, they applied a gnarly OC trial at 1.608 volts and liquid nitrogen, 5.0 GHz was achieved on all 16 cores. Installed on an MSI MEG X570 Godlike and paired with G-Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-4533, the team reached these records:
- Cinebench R15: Ryzen 9 3950X with 5,434 points (previously: Core i9-9960X with 5,320 points)
- Cinebench R20: Ryzen 9 3950X with 12.167 points (previously: Core i9-7960X with 10.895 points)
- Geekbench 4: Ryzen 9 3950X with 65.499 points (previously: Core i9-7960X with 60.991 points)
In addition, we can report that the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X has managed to operate DDR4-5100 on CL18-21-21-56. It is currently assumed that practical OC operation for normal use with DDR4-4266 is possible if an X570 motherboard is used. Standard is at Matisse DDR4-3200 and AMD will likely recommend 3866 MHz as default. I was able to snag some photos at the event when the tweaking was in progress.

How come? The 3950X used LN2.
Because the article is about 16 core CPUs and this guy came in here saying he was happy with his 8-core CPU at 5.1Ghz on water, as though that was impressive. Again, show me his 16-core @ 5.1ghz on water and then we're talking.
Buy's 8 core cpu expects 16.... Dude you are a retard. LOL!!! JK
Aww you still think its like 2001 where you can use retarded as an insult. That's so sad.
As stated above, there was no point to your post other then to state you can get to 5.1Ghz on water whereas this required LN2. So i state again: Get an intel 16-core processor to 5.1Ghz on water, then you have something to talk about in regards to this news.
