Coffee Lake Overclocking Thread, Why Not - Sharing is Caring

Yep. Pretty much, but that is a big one. I hope they can keep pushing intel.

Frequency is a part of the product's features.

It'd be like saying if Bulldozer had the IPC of Sandy Bridge, it'd have been faster than Sandy Bridge.

No its not. We're referring to strictly clock speed. Bulldozer could be at 8ghz and still won't do shit.

Actually Bulldozer at 8GHz would definitely beat Sandy Bridge at 4GHz, but yeah, back to reality...

Ryzen 7 MT @ 5GHz would obviously beat 8700K MT @ 5GHz considering that they are already roughly equivalent in MT at 4GHz vs 5GHz respectively as Ryzens extra 2 cores makes up for the slower frequency / IPC. Even at 5GHz Ryzen would have slower ST since its IPC is lower.

Oh Im not greedy here I will be greatly happy with 4.6Ghz all core clock with lower temps and volts for 24/7 use. 5Ghz would be awesome though but not really needed. I've got loads and loads of rendering and video editing I have to catch up on and dont need to break the bank on extra electricity for a few extra Mghz. I just need stability and low temps.

hypothetically speaking if you could get ryzen to even run @ 5ghz vs CFL which all seem to do 5ghz+ without breaking a sweat.

Good luck getting ryzen past 4ghz even... i hear those are super rare gems like the infamous Opty's 165's doing 3.0ghz back in the days.

But i guess were speaking hypotheticals... because 8ghz bulldozer is like a 12ghz prescott which intel speculated would be the fastest cpu ever seen with netburst.

Of course it was all hypotheticals. The current iteration of Ryzen ain't getting near 5GHz unless you use LN2. ~4GHz seems to be the wall with standard AIO coolers.

My point was that, if it was actually possible to scale to extremely high clockspeeds, even low IPC chips like Bulldozer (and Prescott as you mentioned) could have been very fast CPUs. History shows otherwise, of course.
