AMD Ryzen 9 3900 Tested: Unreleased 65W Processor Sets World Records

We take AMD's unreleased 12-core 24-thread Ryzen 9 3900 our for a spin, setting a few world records with the 65W chip.

Is this just a underclock 3900X? or perhaps a bettern binned one?

It's an under-cooled one. -192c for the record. ;-)

I was talking about the stock 65 Watt CPU, would be nice to compare both at the same power rating and see which one is more efficient even if every so slightly.

Using Ryzen Master ECO mode puts 3900x down to the same 65w. Might not be exact, but maybe close?



Raw performance might be similar, but the perf/w might be hampered by the binning process.
