AMD Ryzen 7 1800X hits 5.2 GHz, breaks benchmarking record

[MeDownYou]

Austin Evans Uploaded a video around 17 hours ago which has been removed due to NDA restrictions ect. 

 

Contained within this was a portion briefly mentioning AMD Vega, but the real catch in this removed video came near the end. Reportedly, AMD invited some of the world's top overclockers to push current ryzen chips and they achieved a feat being a new Cinebench World Record of 2449. This was prefaced with earlier checking on the system reporting that it was a 1800x chip running at 5.14Ghz under LN2 with heavy voltage (1.875v).

The internet is broad and this Video has been recovered multiple times, and can be found at a mirror link curtesy of WCCFtech and Reddit (no info on the mirror link in thread other than it does in fact play said video so, I'm linking the thread instead):

The record run shows a group of overclockers putting an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X chip through the test in Cinebench R15. The chip was cooled with LN2 and voltage was bumped to an outrageous 1.875V. This allowed the overclockers to push this chip to 5.2 GHz across all 8 cores using LN2 cooling which kept the chip operating at a cool -200c. This is absolutely amazing for a chip that is yet to be released for consumers.

I personally think that this information is interesting to say the least coming from an official AMD event and Austin Evans, albeit now removed from youtube. I would say this is most probably true and if it is any indication of what we can see for overclocking I expect just over 4ghz to be rather commonplace. Keep in mind this is on an 8 core chip which makes overclocking headroom a bit more difficult as we can see with Intel parts. This is only a few hundred mhz over their boost and we've yet to see how well their XFR (CPUboost as I call it) responds. This might mean that overclocking on air for the average person might be similar to GPU boost where we benefit little in terms of performance from dialing in that overclock.

Another one. And another one. 

Jokes aside, it's good to hear that ryzen has oc potential.

Edit: With that i meant, that it is good to hear that 4.1Ghz isn't a hard barrier and it has the potential to go higher (with sufficient cooling).

At these speeds, the chip was able to score 2449 Cinebench points in the multi-threaded tests, breaking the previous world record of 2410 Cinebench points. 

 

The previous record was 2445, not 2410.. Also the new R15 version is giving a small point boost, dunno if old score was done on the new R15 version or not, nonetheless it's impressive.

Hey man it's a direct quote from WCCFtech (rules of forums say I need one and not just links to sources ya know.)

1,8V for 5,1GHz ... so we can forget about going to 5,0GHz on water cooling

Hopefully 4,5GHz will be doable somehow.

im going to gues you can get 4.6GHz on water at the max and 4.3GHz on air.

um? not really? the 7700k can reach that on water. Would be nice to see 4.5 out of an 1800x but thats looking pretty slim right now

you're forgetting that the 7700K is a 4 Core cpu

 

A quick look up on hwbot shows the 6900K at similar speeds.

Remember this is an 8 core part rather than 4 core, so clocks are expected to be lower. Still many of the benchmarks we see are from chips running under 4ghz and remember voltage doesn't scale linearly.It doesn't work this way but think about 8x 500mhz vs 4x1ghz they would be the same amount of number crunching potential theoretically if all else is ignored and all cores utilized.

i'm not forgetting that, you are also able to disable cores on ryzen chips:

but i don't think its going to help THAT much, intels refined 14nm lets them reach higher clock speeds, hopefully ryzen will catch up in the future!

That's chip was doing 5ghz on all 8 cores. Source doesn't mention that any of the cores were disabled.

CPU-Z shot with all 8 core clocks shown in OP.

Yeah but how far the chip can go on water is whats really important to the enthusiast here. What the source really tells us is the upper limit is 5.1ghz and 24/7 stable wont be even close to that number. It would be nice to see 4.5ghz on all 8 cores however, with it only reaching 5.1 on LN2 I have my doubts.

I'm sounding like a broken record here (oops lol) but this was on a prerelease beta BIOS. I'd expect especially after the first update to the the actual release BIOS will see huge gains.

how is the bios going to "huge"ly change how far a CPU can OC?

Stability.

[Bouzoo]

Wasn't the 10 core 6950X OC to 5.7 on LN2 with less voltage? Why is this so impressive then?

What is your R15 single threaded score?

Woah woah woah you want 5ghz on water 24/7 stable on all 8 cores? 

 

We're quite far from that still. You don't even see 5ghz 6900ks very often. 

[sof006]

This is awesome, AMDs new chips are amazing. AMD is back baby <3

[vanished]

Oh, so that's what it takes to get to 5.1 GHz... I had heard they can reach it but I was sort of hoping that it was doable with a more reasonable setup  

 

Edit: I just noticed something interesting... it appears as though they got this by FSB/BCLK overclocking and not simply adjusting the multiplier... interesting choice.  I wonder what kind of numbers we'll see when they do it normally?

I never said that. I'm trying to work out whats realistically achievable here, cos if an 1800x cant do 4.3ghz on water someone who plays more games than work isn't going to pick one up. Also if its possible to disable 2 of the 8 cores and gain a atleast 200mhz with overclocking it might be the way to go.

Thats odd, well maybe they were using a cheap motherboard or something or maybe the standard OC hit a snag for some reason (though normally that method has more issues than standard) either way I want real world numbers (benches and OC) before I'm ready to care either way about Ryzen

Seeing how the auto boost thing goes up to 4.1ghz. Its most likely that the average oc is more likely 4.4 for 8 cores.

 

Maybe 5 on 2 cores with 4.5 for the rest if we're lucky and amd has that kind of tech on their cpus. 

 

But 5ghz, water, 24/7 stable on all 8 cores, not a chance. Especially when intel can't achieve that as well. 

 

Even on the intel side, someone who plays more games than work is more likely to run with a 4 core i7 than prosumer 8 core i7s.

Ryzen is really shaping up to be a game changer. I am really excited.
