Ryzen 7 1800X Overclocked to 5.8GHz Breaks Cinebench R15 World Record at 5.36GHz
During the Ryzen technology event, overclockers broke two frequency world records with the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X. I was actually there at that precise moment they reached the tweak.
Der8auer pushed the Ryzen 7 1800X to 5.8GHz on an insane voltage of 1.97v, and officially claimed the frequency world record on HWBot. Der8auer achieved this feat using the liquid nitrogen, with test bench featuring an Asus Crosshair VI Hero motherboard and 16GB of 2400MHz DDR4 CL11 memory.
The other Ryzen 7 frequency world record was achieved by the Swedish overclocker Elmor. He used LN2 to push his Ryzen 7 1800X to 5.36GHz on all 8 cores. The CPU scored 2454 points in the Cinebench R15’s multi-threaded test, breaking the previous world record by 9 points which was achieved with an Intel Core i7 5960X overclocked to 6GHz.
This is pretty impressive considering the fact that Ryzen 7 1800X is clocked at over 600MHz less than the i7 5960X, but it’s still able to outperform that latter. Not only this but the i7 5960X also has the advantage of featuring quad-channel DDDR4 memory compared to Ryzen’s dual channel.
I included some photos that I took just 10 minutes before they hit the WR.

So the only issue with this amazing cpu, which will be fixed no doubt, if I understand correctly, is that if you intend to play at a res of 1080p, you shouldn't use a gtx 1080 or Titan. I would imagine if you are using a 480 or 1060, the Ryzen performance will be just dandy at 1080p. So if you want a killer CPU for an insane price that does not perform as well as four core intel processors at 1080p gaming when using an overkill GPU, in some cases, but blows it away in everything else, then use it with a 480. And if you have a powerful GPU that can push 1440 or 4k, then once again, it is not an issue, because you will not be gaming at 1080p. If you have a 1080p monitor then don't buy a card meant to push 1440 or 4k.

it is really outrageous the way people judge a new cpu with current games . They often fail to see that with such cpus pushed to the mainstream users game developers will be able to design games to work with more cores. There is also another thing , up to now , coding with multiple cpus is a nightmare ;thus, the need for more optimized game engines is required. All in all , the new AMd cpus simply are gamer changer. Despite the fact that I love intel product , this to me means cpus will be a lot cheaper and 2018 will bring interesting changes

You didn't fix it properly.
You forgot to add... only if you play games at 640x480.
Or was that on purpose?

Yeah, it makes so much sense to get GTX 1080 and play 1080p.
I'll just spend $650 to play on my $100 monitor @1080p. Yeah. Logic, bitch
It really doesn't matter what processor you have in that case. I think i5 from 2012 would be just fine

Maybe it's a stupid question, but why does it say 16c/16t on screenshots, for some Ryzen processors? I see there are both 8c/16t and 16c/16t entries?
