Overclocker gets AMD Threadripper 3990X Running 5.3 GHZ on all 64-core (LN2)
Wowzers, get ready for the world's faster Cinebench run, overclockers by the name of Tsalk and Splave put some LN2 on the 3990X and started overclocking. The result 5.3 GHz on all cores, and also 5.5 GHz on a single core.
The processor we reviewed last Friday appear to clock quite well when sub-zero cooled. The 5.55 GHz from Tsaik is for a single core, he used a single ddr4 module that ran on ddr4-1866 with CL13 timings. The motherboard used was an MSI TRX40 Creator. Splave on his end achieved 5.3 GHz on all cores with a TRX40 Taichi from ASRock,32 GB G.Skill's Trident Z Neo ddr4-3200 memory at CL11 timings. As you have seen in our review, power consumption at high clocks is pretty crazy, they used two power supplies of 1250 watts
All this resulted in a score of 39,518 in the multithreaded test of Cinebench R20. In our own test, the 3990X achieved 24,608 points.

And again, I'm aware of all you say. I am aware that they are not only doing LN2 overclocking for show, but also testing stuff out, working on ES at times, testing BIOS versions etc. and again, you are absolutely right.
Still, the news we are discussing here, that the TR 3990X has hit 5.3 under LN2, has little real value for the end user. This is what this thread and the op is about...
If they happen to have a news post about how there will be new microcode updates or BIOS versions for the 3990X that helps the end user, I'll gladly pull out my enthusiasm. Until then, news about LN2 oc are "good to know", but hardly something to have my heart skip a beat over. Which is what I meant in my first place.

My point also...
This kind of shows are for marketing, publicity and show off.
It's part of a product launch marketing campaign - it's not something invented by AMD, Intel also used this kind of publicity but rarely lately because they don't have something to brag about right now...:p
From my knowledge there was no technology gain for the masses from LN2 overclock, nothing that was used after these sessions for the mass market production since they started this kind of "shows" until now.
Once again it's good for them but just from marketing POV.
