Ryzen might not be in the hands of consumers just yet but it looks like overclockers are already using AMD's latest and greatest to set overclocking records. This week, a portion of a video from AMD's Ryzen tech day leaked, at which AMD had professional overclockers pushing the R7 1800x to its limits across all eight cores while running Cinebench R15.
The video in question is from YouTuber Austin Evans who mistakenly uploaded it ahead of the embargo date. Naturally, the clip has been taken down from his official channel but someone was able to download it first and pop it on to Vimeo. In the video, Austin takes a look at a Ryzen 1800x clocked at 5.2 GHz across all cores with LN2 handling the cooling.
With this, the overclockers (who aren't named in the clip), were able to set a new world record Cinebench R15 score of 2449 cb, which is up from the previous record of 2410 cb, proving that the top-end Ryzen chip will be very fast indeed.
We have a review in the works for AMD's new Ryzen CPUs but it won't be live until sometime next week, so keep an eye out for that. We have all of the details on pricing and pre-orders, HERE. We were also in attendance at the Ryzen tech day, so you can see our first impressions of AMD's new tech, HERE.
KitGuru Says: Ryzen is shaping up to be very promising, particularly in the high-end. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the reviews drop next week. Are any of you planning on picking up Ryzen this year? Are you waiting for Ryzen 5 six core CPUs instead?
Cue people saying ryzen wont ve as good as and have been saying
Price to performance, ryzen is looking to be the best CPU line in years, but in games it’s still going to be slightly Trumped by Intel, the IPC seems to be around 5% lower then skylake then add in that Intel currently boasts greater clock speeds. But honestly it all depends on the r5 line, if they have margin for there for a 5ghz-5.5ghz overclock then they will be about neck and neck for performance, the r7 line just doesn’t have the room left to overclock that high in normal situations, too many cores(not that it’s a bad thing) tdp certainly limits it’s max frequency. Either why ryzen looks good most people would trade the few fps difference for the extra multitasking capabilities, not to mention the price. Now if AMD could just move on the LGA sockets…..
My own interest is what it can do on a good cooler and sane voltages. I’m a little worried that 5.2Ghz took LN2 and high voltages. Mind you that was with full core count. My hope is at least 4.5-4.6Ghz and mild voltage with good heatsink or run of the mill water cooler. I also heard Asus said AM4 at release will have issues with most released DDR4 memory and AMD will be working on memory profiles after the Ryzen release in the coming months. This all could be hog wash to taint the Ryzen release a bit. I hope it is not true because if so every jerk off will be over stating it all over the net like they did when the RX 480 was released about the power draw. Yep looking at you Toms you just out of the blue and timed perfect for the 480 release/review a new and more strict way of testing power draw. Most of that site is Nvidia/Intel/Apple biased so go figure. But there are a few good writers there still.
This site is very unbiased and if it can be overclocked it is and has some great writers and reviews. My first stop on Ryzen day will be here for sure to see the review and the overclock you can get. Anandtech used to be my go to site for this but once he left for crapple the site has plunged into the dumper.
It takes ln2 to get it to 5.2ghz…. mildly disappointing. Was hoping to get get 4.5+ on water
5.2 across all 8 cores.
8 cores CPU never get pass that region… so why r u disappointing ?
ghz is not everything when it comes to good cpu as been proved already with the leaked benchmarks…
Look im no 8 core overclocking guru. But i was wishing that over clocking these beasts, can get it on par with the 7700k in terms of single thread performance. At 4.0 – 4.2ghz at which im speculating they will reach underwater, i doubt amd will get there.
The RX 480 power draw thing wasn’t bullshit, though. People were experiencing shut-downs in the their system while benchmarking which was because the single 6-pin wasn’t enough to power the card
My point for the 480 release was Toms magically started doing their new drastic power draw tests just in time for the 480 release which seemed a bit to be to perfectly timed. Now we got Asus making comments about possible memory issues with a lot of the already released DDR4 kits because AMD spent more time getting Ryzen launch ready than they did on memory profiles and they are going to have them fully ready in the next few months. All it takes is a couple websites to run with this issue blow it out of proportion and bam Ryzen CPU tarnished on release.
By the by up until Toms did the new way of testing on the 480 we never heard of any ones systems melting down from the 480’s being installed it was after the scandle with power draw so you got the hey look me to type of people coming out of the wood work. Do you actually think AMD would not have tested before release. If would have been pretty stupid of them not to. YES the card pushed the limits but not to the point Toms was claiming their testing methods may be flawed somewhat.
It reminds me of that guy way back the GTX 580 was being listed wrong in programs like GPUZ and others because it did not have enough shaders to fully max out the 48 ROP’s forgetting the fermi chips ran at two clock planes for core and shaders. The shaders always ran double the speed of the core which in effect gave it a huge lift in shader power. But hey whatever right lets just roll with the guy has to be right I only brought that up because some made a claim and every one blindly agreed. Most people now days are just to stupid to have their own opinion’s.
i’m betting that the top of the line Ryzen CPU’s will be able to get to 4.0/4.2ghz on air cooling.
also, every other “record” i’ve seen being set with intel cpu’s was with cores disabled or said “record frequency” on only one core…
You wont get higher single core on a 16 thread cpu to a 8 thread,
thats kind of silly to even think that
If there’s not really a need to move to LGA sockets, then we shouldn’t really need to push them to do so. There’s no real benefit on moving the pins to the motherboard except shifting the trouble from the processor to the motherboard.
Which is normally more expensive? A high end CPU? Or a high end motherboard? I would say the CPU, so having no pins on it make it much less prone to damage. As far as benefit in performance, yes there is none.
Its not because what is the chances we will see in the ryzen 5 or 3 series. We wont… The 8 thread 4 cores ryzen wont compete with the 7700ks. Look if they do ill eat my hat, but the clock speed just wont be there
