I'm waiting for Stilt's and Gamer's Nexus review 1st . Then AT and the rest of mainstream online media.

Hopefully there's some way of having it max out at some frequency. Decoupling will be critical for overclocking...

That is what I was thinking too but I think it is impossibru to decouple it. Let's wait and see.

Nah, The Stilt's review is better served as the dessert. I'll probably start with checking with Kyle's attempts at overclocking 1700X on the overkill waterblock, then move to AT with it's Lisa Su interview (or so i have seen), and then finish with The Stilt's.

I mean, coupled L3 did not affect OC on Skylake that much, you could generally only squeeze like 200-300 more with decoupled L3.
What i found curious is the implication that the lowest frequency state on Zen is 2.2Ghz. That is... surprisingly high.

Do you mean the cores themselves?

4.5 hours.

hmm, Well Slides say Embargo lift 9AM Central time.. that's 5 hrs away?

As per Iranian leaks Zen uses same idle power like 7700K.

I remember as much, but i still found it curious.

Yeah, you see that on one of slides illustrating the power management.

Ian raised the same point that I made a couple of pages back: which is that the Zen and Skylake cores are very similar from a high-level. Convergence of competing architectures seems to be the way forward.

When is the embargo lifted?

I'm waiting for Stilt's and Gamer's Nexus review 1st .

What website will Stilt's review appear on?

 

[zinfamous]

Will AT actually have a review up? Or will their head story tomorrow morning be a review of a new budget cell phone released in India?

Mechanical keyboard, man.

 

[imported_jjj]

In that Lisa Su interview, one of the questions states that "Intel has 28/40 native PCIe 3.0 lanes, Ryzen only has sixteen".

So yeah that's confusing.

 

[inf64]

What website will Stilt's review appear on?

I have no idea. He will have all the data ready, hopefully he will publish them somewhere where it will get a decent traffic. He recently said the firmware support will improve in next 2 months, hopefully we will see him redo the benchmarks in that time again.

 

[zinfamous]

I would really LIKE to tell you what LIKE is all about, but you posted this in the wrong thread, so nobody will LIKE that.

With only a few hours left before the NDA expires, and apparently, AT will actually have some kind of a review, where will people go for their first reviews?

With all the MIA reviews AT has lost this past year, it really doesn't seem that this is the place to get current reviews anymore, except for phones.

Where you all heading to?

I will read AT's review like I usually do, then come back to this thread to read all you goobers sum up all the other reviews out there and bicker over which ones can be "trusted."

As far as i can remember he was saying it will be a pdf.

Hmm... so, back on Ryzen, it seems Amazon may not actually have enough stock to cover pre-orders.

That would be very disappointing. According to a user on reddit (ddak88) people who called Amazon support are saying that Amazon told them availability isn't until mid-April.

I feel it might just be how their inventory system is working (showing a far-out date when no solid date is entered), but I can't but help to be concerned.

Dang. I hope I don't have to wait longer than the June-Julyish time that I am targeting for upgrades. ...I may just have to pass the time by watching my wee pile of AMD shares climb. :\

Via Aussie pcworld:
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/615223/ryzen-works-xmp-memory-profiles/

Seems some of the new review guidelines from AMD included setting memory timings manually.
Also scroll down while on this same page and you will see a lint to an article named "[Related: RyzenMaster and HPET can make your Ryzen computer run slower]"
The URL ends up 404 due to NDA most likely but we have a clue about another performance hindering combo: RyzenMaster and HPET.

PS They also accidentally published a "review" of 1800x, but it had very little information (PCMark score of 4100 non-OC and OC info- they manged 4Ghz via Ryzenmaster tool,no Vcore info). I didn't want to link to it in order avoid causing them problems. NDA is going to be lifted soon, no need for that.

wow , Prime98 stress test load! it's lower than both ! ( except overall power of skylake)

Chiphell 1800X review with DDR4 2666 CAS 16 so not ideal but better than previous leaks https://www.chiphell.com/article-17555-1.html

 

[PhonakV30]

Winrar relies on Memory latency ?

 

[inf64]

Chiphell's CB score of 148pts in not right. Either their CPU was throttling or Turbo was off. At 4Ghz Ryzen should be getting ~162pts.

But overall, those scores don't look like such a big problem for Intel, save for pricing.

Much more subtle than the joke I was going to make.
