Again, timeliness =/= releasing videos as soon as a product or information drops. Being a reliable source is more important. And rushing to the dick measuring contest does not help reputation. Producers demonstrate a willingness to forgo accuracy and quality every time they participate in it. But I'll take long term advice from the guy who pushes low quality clickbait for short term growth, a tactic that has a history of failing long term.

Take concepts from products already on market, implement them, and act like they did it first and are an innovative company. They also overcharge for their products. Such as the OC9 - The grip angle already existed on Grey Ghost Precision's pistol (and the OC9 was announced after Faxon's FX19), metal frame Glocks are not new, nor is the frame design that has a metal slide rail housing and swappable grip (albeit that was for 1911s). $1700 for the entry OC9, the FX19 comes in at $1300 and $1500 and the GGP comes in at $1500 (and you can just buy the frame for $170). Or their new AR10. The lower is dimensionally identical to an AR15 reciever behind the magazine well, uses AR15 buffer tubes and triggers, and the bolt carrier is the same diameter as an AR15's. In other words, Zev's innovative new AR10's recievers are standard DPMS pattern parts. And their fanboys are just as stupid.

Right now, the speculation is that the soft limit is temporary (and I refer to it as hard and soft because it's supposed to be 140, but it really is 142, give or take .1W).

Man, if only there were a Microcenter in Idaho

Thing is, Zodiark and Delicieuxz answers don't apply in this discussion: the 3700X is drawing less than the 2700X. Same coolers are able to be used, the same boards and sockets work just fine, the new boards being overkill.

We're hitting 1.4v at the 4.3-4.4GHz mark. If Zen 2 can't handle more voltage, then it likely won't clock better (BIOS can affect how well chips overclock by a small extent). We can't really do much overclock testing either, because the chips are locked to not exceed certain wattage ranges.

Not everyone does. It's largely something that happens in the tech sphere, but as of right now, JayzTwoCents only pushed his CPU review. And those that do, it either boils down to bragging rights or stupidity, probably both. They do so solely for bragging rights.

Quite a few high profile youtubers, such as Markiplier, have discussed this dozens of times throughout videos. Being amongst the first few to cover a product, such as processors or games, is good for nothing other than meaningless circlejerks. Public interest in products does not magically drop like a rock if you take a day or two after the product drops. The people wanting these reviews either want as much information as possible and will wait a few days for videos to make an informed purchase, watch one video and call it done, or wait for their preferred reviewer(s) videos. And that's something we see outside of the tech sphere.

It's not nearly as down to the wire as you think.

Timely doesn't equate to as soon as the product drops or information comes out. You and your staff willingly and voluntarily signed up for this. None of you were forced to do the work when you did it.

The more and more I look into highly custom AR10 and Glock products, the more I release that Zev Technologies is just the Apple of the gun world.

Bolster the 'Orange Man Bad' narrative, even though we actually know nothing about what was discussed, just that a discussion happened. Probably.

If the mainboard supports Thunderbolt expansion cards, yes. But the mainboard actually has to support the card, not all do.

Any usecase that benefits from Intel Quicksync.

Apple fanboying: Where facts mean nothing and history is made up.

Not really. The math using the numbers AMD gave us when they announced Zen 2 and Ryzen 3000 lines up perfectly with what we actually got.

Eh, the move to Cobalt might mitigate the die shrink enough that 1.4v is still safe. We'll see though.

Exactly. While it demonstrates that AMD's IPC numbers are good, we're seeing 1.4v at 4.3GHz, which is the number I used for my preliminary number crunching. Which is boring at this point. https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/2408/tsmc-7nm-hd-and-hp-cells-2nd-gen-7nm-and-the-snapdragon-855-dtco/ TSMC's 7nm uses cobalt contacts, but I can't find anything regarding a total replacement of copper with cobalt. As it stands, I don't see any reason for Zen 2 to claw back higher safe voltages.

Seems like that limit isn't iron clad. Nor does it counter the point of these chips still taking 1.4V to hit 4.4GHz.

At some point I would like someone to post an actual, reputible source saying that the hardware is actually limited to 140W. Because I'm not finding jack shit through either Google or Bing that there is a 140W limit. Tom's Hardware as a review that have the 3900X PBO crapping out ~170W on the VRMs, which assuming your ~90% efficiency claim is correct, means the CPU is getting ~150W. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ryzen-9-3900x-7-3700x-review,6214-3.html GN is hitting 1.4+ volts on their 3600 OC for the 4.3GHz+ area. https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3489-amd-ryzen-5-3600-cpu-review-benchmarks-vs-intel So, the goal post mover's previous claims that Ryzen 3xxx would be capable of 5GHz in any PRAGMATIC sense is looking like it be dead in the water. Side note, having done the number crunching of AMD's IPC figures awhile back, matching Intel is a tad disappointing, IMO.

When Wendel gets back from Microcenter with a 3800X.

Love the fact that the guy moving goal posts liked this, thinking I was talking about Lead moving the post.

They aren’t, one is an 8GB card with tweaks. Show me where I said that. Either killing himself because he can’t live in a world where AMD is a good option, or slandering AMD harder than ever before.

And? The odds of the magical 5GHz you’ve been preaching as fact until this thread, is pathetically small. We don’t see that mythical uplift in other products, Older Ryzen included. No reason to think that will change. Why? I’m well aware of the fact that there are basically no meaningful architectural changes. If you weren’t so egotistical, you’d know that I’ve said that The Lake lineup is little more than tweaked. Broadwell, which is die shrunk Haswell. That is irrelevant to product generations.
