Why don't you just enjoy your 1800x, bashing Intel with imagined scenarios won't make your CPU run any better, it just makes you sound like another rabid AMD fan in denial. Seriously, enough already, it doesn't make you sound cool or more informed. Being proud of your build is great, don't water it off with useless crap that just alienates people. Try to take the high road and rise above the average fanboy (both sides should chill out, all this stuff does is make "normal" people think all PC enthusiasts are crazy). You prefer AMD, I like Intel, so what? We all like PCs that perform well for our needs, and we all have plenty of common ground to discuss.

Ha, that's funny. Pretending that most PC enthusiasts only buy what best suites their needs. Nope, in reality most PC enthusiasts buy brand first, then performance. If performance was really the end all be all AMD would have sold more graphics cards when it had the technological edge back in the day and same goes for CPUs. Instead we have two companies that have good marketing that rule the markets. Coincidence? I think not.

Why is this such a hot topic... lol

Nothing new here.

I don't remember something like this happened before. A CPU sold as XX core count and then having more cores? Afaik never happened before, this is new. Unlocking cores is something different.

I am not happy about intel pricing and when I get a chance to poke them... Why not ? I like intel products. But as a company, I hate them for milking people big time. Anyway... sorry if I have offended you in anyway.

RFLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ AMD's beyond crap quality control!! :roll:

mohammed2006 · Oct 5, 2017

Now 1900x with 12 core please ok 10 will do

ratirt · Oct 5, 2017

I think the stock for 1800 and 1700 is quite big but the best sales 1600 holds at the moment. They crippled good 1700's and 1800's and sell them as 1600's

Nice

Wonder if I should get one 1600 and get lucky with 8c/16t

punani · Oct 5, 2017

If its true, it smells of "publicity stunt" a long way. This will boost sales for sure.

I am VEEERY sceptical to it being a mistake from AMD.

is on purpose off course ; put yourself in amd's place - they "forget" to disable a few cores ..knowing this will surface on web fast and people will start buying this cheap version of zen...but i bet they didn't expect that someone will point exactly the batch # so fast .... therefore is not a lottery anymore is like searching the needle in a haystack ....

looking forward to see intel similar "mistake"....in my dreams maybe...

Honestly ,I've been waiting for something like this to happen.

Edit: uuuaaaaaa ty but no need since i dont have one,cheers

Yes ofc it is a mistake, but the Ryzen yields can be so good that they may be forced to disable two perfectly good and functional cores to meet the 1600 and 1600X specs (the demand is high for these cpus). In other words, Ryzen yields are so good that they do not pump out enough defective cpus to meet the demand of R5 1600/1600X. Some of those fully functional dies destined to be 1600/1600X may have slipped into the retail boxes before fusing the extra cores, which is a mistake on the factory side.

TheDeeGee · Oct 5, 2017

Didn't the same thing happen in the past with lower end GPUs?

Tomgang · Oct 5, 2017

Come on just be glad if you got more cores than advatised.

I can under stand complaning if you got 4 cores and payed for 6 cores.

Its just like cars. Some has more power than advetized and others has a bit less. That is not uncomen.

No way this is a quality control issue. You can't leave cores enabled by "mistake" , not like this , the cache still corresponds to the 6c part. If this is true it was done intentional , the manufacturing/binning process that is.

Ummm, it's quality control. I would call getting 8 cores instead of 6 for the price of 6 some damn good quality there. Crap quality control would be getting 4 cores when you should have 6 for the price of 6.

Benchmarks

Something that shows performance and actual can back up the 2 extra cores

Since there are so many examples where we can see more cores in the OS but, not be able to use them. :kookoo:

All I see is Task Manager which can easily be manipulated and miss respsented

Until we see some one with a 1600 that has the magical 2 cores and run some test and show verifiable proof I won’t believe it.

Supposedly there are some pictures at the wccftech article showing HWinfo64, a CPU-Z benchmark and a screen photograph showing cinebench, poor quality pictures tho... I agree that further evidence is needed.

No, it's clearly YOU who "don't get it". Let it go. Just let it go.

Durvelle27 said:

Why? If you don't believe it, don't believe it. It's like the bios trick to enable the fourth core on the old AMD three core models. Many didn't want to believe until motherboard makers actually made official bios updates to do it.
