Doubtful, but 4.something lowish is very probable.

it might just be stopping at 4.0ghz with a cooler like that and they didn't expect that much cinebench out of an AMD 8-core

that sure as hell ain't a 95w cooler tho

May 9, 2009

probably. The tweets by the guy who was apparently there suggest that it ran >5Ghz.
Those tweets and the facebook picture of the cooler kind of make it seem like it ran Cinebench at 5Ghz on air but really that'd be absurd.

I thought Intel's deal let them charge the same price throughout the life of the console. So instead of the cost going down over the life of the console, Intel kept getting to charge the same price for a laughably out-dated CPU

I think that was the nvidia chipset & GPU they got hosed by.

Intel was willing to undercut to freeze out AMD, but nvidia didn't need to do the same to compete -- this being before the ATI-AMD merger and at a time when nvidia was massively dominant over ATI & PowerVR. Also microsoft didn't really know what they were doing at the time of the first Xbox. There was a neat storytime on the giantbombcast where Gerstman was talking about how MS was pretty crazy and acting like their hardware was gonna set the world on fire, despite having no games at first.

more "leaks" appearing on reddit.



this is supposedly a R5 1600X (6C12T/ 3.3Ghz base/3.7 Ghz boost) but the TDP model code doesn't match.
A R5 1600X should be 95W but the code in the screenshot says 65W.
(decoder pic here)

for reference:

edit: changed comparison picture although it's probably inaccurate and should show 65W TDP

What's the estimated price on that? Like $400? For half the power envelope (give or take, IIRC Intel and AMD calculate differently) of the 6800K, my hype juices are flowing.

The six core is below the 1700x and 1700. The 1700 is an octocore rumored to be priced at 320, iirc.

leaked pricing is ~$260 for the R5 1600X and ~$230 for the R5 1500.
This one seems to be an unknown model between the two because it has the TDP of the R1500 and frequency of the R5 1600X — could be the R5 PRO 1600.

edit: fixed model numbers!

Reminder: the RX 480 was poo poo because GloFo hosed up, Fiji was a disappointment advertised as an "overclocker's dream", Bulldozer was hyped like crazy even though it under-performed Phenom II's IPC, etc. Wait for loving benchmarks, I can't express this enough times. When Anandtech, TechReport, and TechPowerUp get their hands on retail samples and do a broad suite of benchmarks - then I'll get hyped. Not an instant before.

And I'm saying this as someone who is pretty seriously considering building a mITX rig in a Mini-Box M-350 case that is super tight on ventilation/etc for programming and video encoding. I am the ideal user and mITX X99 hardly exists as a product (except for like, that one motherboard that's packed to capacity and costs $300). I would love 6 cores at $150 or whatever, and I really don't care about IPC on this build.

But just wait a few weeks for the loving benchmarks people.

apparently these are pics that the same guy posted but deleted shortly after — some guy on reddit mirrored them

if the first cinebench score is singlethreaded (146 cb in case it gets deleted) with turbo then their neural network SMT implementation accounts for >30% of the total multithreaded score? bad news for gamers but I wouldn't be surprised.

edit: i3-4360 (3.7 Ghz Haswell w/o turbo) scores 149 cb, i7-7700k scores 193 cb stock and 214 @ 5Ghz

Cinebench is designed to be highly parallel so running it single-threaded gets you a really lovely result. Wouldn't be surprised if a 7700K in single threaded Cinebench spat out something really sad looking

I mean, a lovely result unless you compare it to other single-threaded benchmarks. That's kind of the point of doing a single-threaded benchmark in the first place.

Everybody knows that's a maximum - with N threads you will get absolutely no more than N times speedup/performance increase - unless there is some systergenic effect from running a gang of processors. That's Amdahl's law.

The 7700K is pretty secure in terms of single-thread performance AFAIK. Not even AMD is claiming it'll beat Haswell let alone Skylake let alone Kaby - they just imply it and do some leaks and the hype train does the rest.

Anime Schoolgirl

isolated benchmarks are pretty useless on their own, a composite test suite with a single setup needs to be made, really

that said, everything is pointing towards margin-of-error within Haswell and I'm not expecting any more than that

I don't think Amdahl's law applies for loads that run 100% parallel (which seems to be the case in cinebench)

The perfect day needs the perfect set of wheels.
Comparing it with the 7700K for ST performance is pretty dumb. If it happens to be a miracle or an actual overclocker's dream then that's lovely, but what matters really is that it's ahead of the 6900K, which it seems to be.

eames
May 9, 2009

the only reason why I added the 7700k is because it's the best ST CPU and benchmarks are readily available.
it looks like the 7700k gains an additional ~25% from ST -> MT cinebench with hyperthreading so the 30% indicated by those leaks seem about right.

as anime schoolgirl said it looks like IPC will be exactly on par with Haswell and there's a good chance that Zen will scale better with more threads thanks to a solid SMT implementation.

The raytracing itself will be 100% parallel, but the initial step of generating the BVH is much trickier to parallelize. There's numerous ways to do it but you never get perfectly linear speedup with cores.

e: OTOH Cinebench uses very simple geometry so BVH construction takes a negligible amount of time v:v:v

It's a good thing then that they probably aren't coming out with any mITX boards that support Ryzen for awhile, so sounds like it'll be the same situation or worse for you as it with X99 right now.
