Box seems fake yep, no idea about the specs as always

You would think a Ryzen 9 would get the Wraith Max and not the Spire

Can I be so optimistic enough to think 5Ghz is possible on turbo?

These are Europa levels of salt. Still, at the end of the day, it's either going to beat the i9 in everyday tasks and gaming or it won't. That is my only determinant. Performance is my only bias.

What's this supposed to mean?
Netherwind
That Europe has more salt than other countries? 😉
mackintosh
Europa, not Europe 🙂 One’s a moon, the other not so much.

Anyway i don't think that a lot of people buying this kind of CPU would use any of those cooler 🙂
tunejunky
i think so. in any case i'd be in the same optimists corner, just based on recent results.

while this seems more than a bit fake-o, i'm not surprised Ryzen info is starting to leak, and leak from Asia.
not spouting any anti-Asian crap, just saying that market discipline is hard everywhere and Asia (outside of Japan and Korea) is relatively new to the concept. especially as interpersonal competition and gossip is universally human, market discipline is easier to impose when you have branding and assembly locally.

Go Away! I do not want to see shopping items before I can actually order and get them in day or two.

Don't a ton of people using top end CPU's use the stock cooler xD
like a worrying amount anyway

If it's just single-core boost, I think that's reasonable for their flagship AM4 model. The thing about boost clocks is they have to be sure to not stray too far from the CPU's overall power demand when all cores are under full load. If only 1 out of 16 cores is demanding serious attention, I don't think 5GHz is actually pushing the power draw all that hard, relative to what the CPU could be drawing.
To me, the real appealing part is how this implies these CPUs should be able to overclock much better than previous generations.
I wouldn't consider it a "worrying amount". If you're not overclocking, the stock cooler is not only adequate, it's actually good.

A Ryzen 9 would likely not come with any cooler.
Kool64
so worrying they stopped including them and still continued to price hike.........

So why would the 3600X be clocked 300Mhz lower in boost? In the previous version they seemed to squeeze the most out of the chips via boost as they could. Then give or take 200mhz on mainstream cooling for OC. I don't understand why 8 healthy cores out of the yield would be binned so much lower. Way to push the 12c more?
PS. if the 12c hits 4.7 - 5.0 it's an auto buy for me. I currently have the R7 1700 too. Never upgraded a CPU so fast.
EDIT: Grammars

There are 1600X/1700X/1800X variants w/o boxed cooler too. And Ryzen 2700 has variants with different cooler.

Remember the Salt!
As far as stock coolers, the vast majority of users do not OC. Intel has made tons of $$ selling "k" cpus to users not OCing.
Stock coolers should be fine for these users.

We are getting closer each day , bring it 😀 !

Overclocking as a useful activity is left over from the bad old days.
You can OC an unlocked Ryzen, but (unlike Intel) AMD has already built in sophisticated Precision Boost circuits that will achieve nearly the same performance at much less average power. So less wear and tear on everything. If you OC you lose PB.
So - except for the fun of briefly trying it - OC on Ryzen is a fool's errand.
I wonder: Why do people keep mentioning it? Mental inertia? And why don't journos point this out? Helps to feed the hype and forum threads?
