AMD Ryzen Processors can possibly OC to 5 GHz On Air
Well, let's hope the hype is real or else people will get disappointed. Last week a publication from CanardPC already revealed benchmarks from AMD's upcoming 8-core RYZEN processor, this week they claim to reach 5 GHz on air cooling.
If you read through the magazine you'll spot on page 10 that Ryzen chips will be able to achieve overclocks of at least 5 GHz on air. The fun thing is, they embedded it as a riddle as the author of the article embedded a hidden message, look at the top of this page and do you notice two digit 0 and 1 string just above the photo?
They hid some info with with a simple binary string ():
010110100110010101101110010011110100001101000000010000010110100101110010001111010011010101000111
Converted (try yourself here) that reads: ZenOC@Air=5G We should mention that the content they released is based on an engineering sample processor. It is intersting that they hid it that way, but it does raise many questions as well. You simply need to wonderr, was that with 8 cores @ 5 GHz or just say 2?, was it stable enough to run a hefty benchmark or just a bootup of the OS, what voltage was needed, what wattage did it run into? and most importantly how hot did that CPU run?
The article raises more questions then it answers to be brutally honest, and at this point I think it be part of an actual AMD viral. Regardless, all signs are good for AMD Ryzen and IF the clocks indeed can pass 4 GHz that easily, AMD might have struck gold.
- Oh and gosh, what a lovely riddle ! :)

I really hope they really did struck gold this time and leave Intel and their overpriced quad-cores behind.

It's all using the conditional mood. Meh.
Still excited about Zen though.

Exciting news, the avg chip if it reaches 4.6-4.7ghz , it will be a great Cpu to get.

This thing, with a 1000mhz oc, should have the same IPC with a 6700K if not better. With the right price it will be platinum

If real, that's great news even with only 4 cores.

Buildzoid, an AMD extreme overclocker, wrote this on reddit:
When asked how many cores:
and when asked if 5ghz was doable at 4/6 cores:
Honestly even if it only does ~4.5 it's still good, better than what most Intel 6900K's can do. It's probably going to be a lot cheaper too. Sounds good to me.

I'll just use this comment to say this since it's relevant to me.
I don't have a Zen but I know people who do.
I continue to stand by my comment about 5G not happening on air without too much voltage. This doesn't disprove the statement of ZenOC@Air=5G however I wouldn't get your hopes up because we don't know how many cores or volts actually managed that clock. (my sources never gave me absolute max clock just that it does about X.X for daily use)
For all those wondering about X.X. Well lets just say that I am pleased with
X.X.

When asked how many cores:
IDK if all the samples are 8 cores I only ever discussed 8 cores since I never had any intrest in the lower core count chips due them not being intresting to me.
and when asked if 5ghz was doable at 4/6 cores:
I'd say you're getting your hopes up with that. Generally a whole series of CPUs tends to clock very similarly. The difference between an average 5960X and an average 4790K is about 250MHz. Same is true for say a 3960X and a 2500K.
Honestly even if it only does ~4.5 it's still good, better than what most Intel 6900K's can do. It's probably going to be a lot cheaper too. Sounds good to me.

Was about to write about his comments too, you save me some work so thanks The guy does really interesting stuff.

I learned a long time ago to not belive hype. What will be will be, that way you can't really be disappointed. I do look forward to Zen though, And needs this and so do consumers.

I'd be more than happy to have a 8c 16t chip that can run @ 4.2-4.4ghz 24/7 on air.
Surely that will be enough juice for gaming for at least 4 years.

Yeah yeah great and all but show some ****ing results already.
We've heard the skylake 5ghz story, we've heard the kaby lake 5ghz.

Can't wait for Ryzen benchmarks.
If the performance checks out and pricing estimates are correct, this will be great for everyone (lower prices of all cpus).
