2696 V4 (Broadwell flagship) at stock (2800 MHz), 17290 points: Just goes to show how far CPUs have come and the importance of clock speed - the lowly 3900X, a $500 part with more or less identical IPC but 4200MHz+ boost clocks, matches this 2800MHz, $4000 CPU that was state of the art up...

Heh, the score's high but its not particularly impressive, you too could do the same with $4000 and a real 7702. I have much more respect for the #3 guy with his overclocked 3970X, who got within 10% of my score with half the cores. The interesting thing I guess is that these are only $800...

It's definitely not a 3990X, its a 64-core EPYC engineering sample. Not sure what SKU to list it under, maybe a '7702 ES'? It's from the same family of parts as @mirrormax 's 7742's, they are both multiplier-unlocked EPYC engineering samples.

Narrowly edging into second place with an AMD ZS1406E2VJUG5 engineering sample @ 2.5GHz I'm surprised no one has run the benchmark on a 3990X yet.
