Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

[techjunkie123]

6.7 you can get on N3X.
They have something better instead.

My bet is a hair under 7, so probably 6.95 or something.

Who hit 6.7 on N3X???

That's nearly half of what you can do for a dense design on N3E they must have relaxed the density for more clocks

C'mon, that's a bad bet. You don't think if the engineers told Lisa that they could only must 6.95 GHz that Lisa wouldn't immediately ask, "What? No, get to a clean 7 GHz for marketing purposes"?

That's why they'll go tell her only 6.9 Ghz is possible:
"We can do 6.9 Ghz"
"What? No, get to a clean 7 GHz"
"We would if it were 6.95, but we're already clock stretching at 6.9"

Meanwhile in a parallel universe:
Engineer: "we can do 6.95"
Lisa: "go for clean 7.0, impress"
Anandtech: "they're holding back at 7.0, a real limit would more random like 7.15"

Meanwhile I'm looking forward for something like 6.5 Ghz and everyone going out of their mind because Zen 6 has "obviously missed it's clock target". Zen 6.9 would be nice though, rolls of the tongue.
