AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X Overclocked to 4.1 GHz With Liquid Cooling
Redditor "callingthewolf" has posted what is an awe-inspiring result for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 1950X (that's an interesting username for sure; let's hope that's the only similarity to the boy who cried wolf.) The 16-core, 32-thread processor stands as the likely taker for the HEDT performance crown (at least until Intel's 14-core plus HEDT CPUs make their debut on the X299 platform.) With that many cores, highly thread-aware applications naturally look to see tremendous increases in performance from any frequency increase. In this case, the 1950X's base 3.4 GHz were upped to a whopping 4.0 GHz (@ 1.25 V core) and 4.1 GHz (at 1.4 V core; personally, I'd stick with the 4.0 GHz and call it a day.)
The feat was achieved under a Thermaltake Water 3.0 liquid cooler, on a non-specified ASRock motherboard with all DIMM channels populated with 8 x 8 GB 3066 MHz DIMMs. At 4.0 GHz, the Threadripper 1950X achieves a 3337 points score on Cinebench R15. And at 4.1GHz, the big chip that can (we can't really call it small now can we?) manages to score 58391 points in Geekbench 3. While those scores are certainly impressive, I would just like to point out the fact that this is a 16-core CPU that overclocks as well as (and in some cases, even better than) AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 CPUs. The frequency potential of this Threadripper part is in the same ballpark of AMD's 8-core dies, which speaks to either an architecture limit or a manufacturing one at around 4 GHz. The Threadripper 1950X is, by all measurements, an impressively "glued together" piece of silicon.

How about editing your post and posting something that contributes to the topic at hand?
But seriously, yea, if you have 2x 1080ti already then maybe you need to go with the slightly faster IPC CPU to not put "a glass ceiling" on them. You may get 10 fps in some games. But if you still can't afford those 1080s, what are you doing paying Intel double the money for 'almost' the same fps? Since when do people even care about the amount of fps the CPU gives them? :kookoo:
Never heard this argument before AMD came out with Ryzen, it used to even be frowned upon to compare CPUs for fps in games. And now it suddenly seems like the only thing people do all day. :laugh:
Don't you have any better arguments?
This whole "Intel is better for gaming" argument is probably the stupidest crap I have ever heard. Intel doesn't even produce graphics cards, remember? :laugh: But suddenly an Intel CPU is what you need for more fps in games... Seriously? I don't know who's pushing this, but somebody probably is. If Intel themselves isn't behind all these stupid gaming benchmarks, who else would actually benefit from it?
Vodka Lake / X
Sake Lake / X
Coke Lake / X
etc ...
Way too much talk about benchmarking, but forgot about how good Price / Performance ratio AMD has with TR.
Like this video:
It's comparing Ryzen 1700 to i7-7820X, which is double the price in my country, head to head in games! (Of course with the exact same GPU despite the massive price difference!)
That's as smart as making a whole video benchmarking a Radeon RX580 against a GTX 1080 in games... Don't they see that those price ranges are insane? :kookoo:
Keep it up, guys. It's a good laugh.
at the end of the day you either have a unlimited budget or not
if you have a limited budget then most people will buy the best chip for the money
and currently AMD offers best value for money
:toast:
But it's not a bad thing. An overclocked Sandy Bridge is still more than enough for modern games. Ryzen has the extra cores to boot. It's also very efficient, priced well, and has long term platform support.
AMD is still 5 years behind in IPC and a whole 1GHz behind in clocks. Fact.
i dont get why reality is so hard for people to except. Ryzen/CCX is not a gaming chip. It sucks ass at it but is extremely good at being cost effective and scaling for massively threaded tasks with minimal clock hit on massive dies.
That is how it was designed and works. 100% fact. It just isnt a gaming chip....get over it. It is a stellar workstation/threaded workhorse. Intels new HEDT sucks at gaming too but just not as bad...jeez.
Stop spamming the internet with fan boy bs that is devoid of reason.anyone buying a 1000-2000 dollar CPU will be delidding and using water or phase change so temp is not really relevant.
At stock it runs at 4GHz on all the cores unless you start hitting the power limit or are running an AVX workload. The base clock is lower on these chips because they use a large AXV512 multiplier offset.
The "all core turbo" setting in the bios would run all the cores @4.3GHz or 4.5GHz.The stock all core turbo speeds for the 7900x is also 4GHz so its working fine regardless if @RejZoR will believe it.
Congrats on the new CPU. I'm waiting for the higher end boards from asus to drop before I pickup a 7900X. Not sure if it would be as fast as my 6900k @4.5 unless it will do 4.8+
Just stop.
Here's a step by step.
1. Buy Ryzen.
2. Take the bag of money you saved and buy a better GPU. Or a second one.
3. Now you have a gaming chip.
Also why delid for phase? Even on Cascade the difference is negligible
that is not true. Silicon lottery delids his 7700K for single phase change because it makes a notable difference. He runs his at 5.5-5.7GHz. There is a thread in his forum where i was asking him about it.Again if you seriously game ryzen sucks at it. Look at the benchmarks, look at single thread. If you VR or 1440p 120hz ULMB game like I do even a 4.8 Ghz 6700K can't run many single thread games at 120hz consistently due to single thread limits. Stop your spamming of patently false statements on its ability to game on VR and 120hz. I wouldnt even use an Intel HEDT for it because of the IPC hit and thats faster than Ryzen.
Your just proving why i think humanity is a joke lol
