Enjoy your prize from our excellent ES user!

Awesome, please convey my thanks to ES user! So its one point from the M3 top score at 5.65GHz. Very nice. Do you know if he had to finagle anything to get here / this is with boost 'up to' 5.7GHz?

Looks like max clock recorded was 5.65GHz in HWinfo. That means its possible we'll see another 50-100MHz for retail, possibly topping the M3 score. Very nice.

What happened to PBO and why is the CCLK limit now 5650 Mhz?
R24 ST it is, if it looks like he can get it close to 5.7/what should be stock boost. If it doesnt look like he'll be able to do it, I'd rather not give that kind of bait to the trolls. In that case I'll take a max tuned MT run. :p
He wanted to see stock boost/fmax for this ES i guess (?)

I asked for 5.7 ST to see what retail will bring. Igor said that may not be possible with this ES, but they would try. So its unclear if retail will behave this way, but it seems like max freq should at least touch 5.7 just through the process of booting into Windows on retail, which was not the case with ES. Whether or not retail will reach a tiny bit higher and average 5.7-5.75 during this test is unknown, but this is close enough to reasonably expect at least this score on all properly cooled 9950X retail CPUs.

Idk... what's the stock Fmax for the 7950X ? In other words, what's its core effective clock under the ST workload?

With EXPO off in a fully stock config mine would not exceed 5.65 GHz. I enabled EXPO (no PBO) and it's hitting 5.7GHz

No idea why EXPO changed it. Unless maybe the membw was constricting it. I know it's more memory sensitive than previous cinebench.

I'm curious what do you draw this conclusion from?

The rate at wich the score increase as he increase power, we ll know more once Computerbase do their review since they ll make tests at 45, 65, 88 and 142W like they did for the 7950X.

What's the ST score at 5.65 and 5.7?
Hard to know if the difference was membw or clocks.

Stock/JEDEC: 120
6400/2133 EXPO tuned: 126
I thought EXPO was for RAM overclocking only? It affects ST boosts?
Can't tell you why it's behaving this way. My only thought is maybe it's not boosting higher since it's bound by the slower memory config somehow. The performance difference is certainly a lot larger than a 50MHz clock/effective clock difference.

The core grew significantly but they were able to shrink the L3 to compensate. How they were able to do so is unknown right now.
Still no word about that "ladder" cache, huh? I guess we'll just have to wait for either the launch date to get more info, or worst-case Hot Chips in August.

lol your post have been feeding so many of these sites I hope they are cutting you a cheque or some stock options :)
