Now I really wish AMD hadn't locked the multiplier on it, even if the voltage is locked. There's already conspiracy theories going around that AMD did it so it wouldn't be close in performance to Zen 4.
There's no way for a motherboard without an external clock generator to get a base clock overclock, is there?

It looks a bit like the extra cache sabotages the heat transfer somewhat, because there is a extra layer on top of the chip, so it acts a bit like the Intel delid years.
Stock performance is fine, but extra heat from overclocking is hitting the chip harder, then it would a 5800x, because the heat does not flow as easily away from the hot spots.

It would have been preferable if AMD had locked voltage, EDC, PPT and TDC. Instead of the multiplier.
This would allow a decent control on the chips temperatures, while allowing a decent margin for OC.

If this was a 5800x and could do 5.15 on 1.2v i would not consider it even a golden sample..
Or platinum or diamond sample ... Maybe mythril sample 😛

Has any major review outlet done a OCed 5800X VS 5800X3D yet?

I wonder why the PCIe speed issue is never mentioned. If BCLK Ocing was a thing we'd all be doing it.

Well yeah HH noted it but the overlocker doesn't mention that. it can't really be called anything more than a dog and pony show.

I liken it to trying to jam a 300HP nitrous kit into a Toyota Prius but I suppose you could assert that the chips might have the room. The bigger question is does the 3d cache have that room.

If this chip could run 24/7 @5150mhz then i think it would be close to Zen4 (gaming wise). I don't believe that's why they locked it down though. I think the cache becomes unstable with an OC so that's why they had to lock it down.
I wonder if this means all Zen4 chips will be locked down too, still this is only Gaming scores as i believe 5800X3D even with an OC would only beat 5800X in all other benchmarks by a small amount as we saw in HH's review.

I want to see some GAME benchmarks at that speed and stable... Looking forward to Zen4!
