Does OC potential increase?

[CostcoSamples]

As manufacturers slowly improve yields, it seems like OC potential should increase over time.

 

Example:  Did early 6700k OC as well as late 6700k?  

 

Will Ryzen 1800x (March 2017) OC worse than one produced in December 2017?  

 

Has any testing been done to prove it on previous generations?

It does not work that way...

 

As far as I understand it it has more to do with the area of the waffer the silicon was extracted from.

Back in the Ivy Bridge days, later 3570Ks and 3770Ks OC'd better than there earlier counter parts. 

 

I'd need 1.5V+ for 5GHz and there's people doing it at 1.35V. Not too bad. 

 

Very well the same for Haswell and DC. Probably works for Skylake and Kaby in the future. Probably more marginal though. Especially past 5GHz. 

 

March and December just seems a too small a time frame. Probably give it a year between productions.

If they didn't change or improve the manufacturing process there would really be no difference, there are a lot of factors that play into it from better "growing" of the silicon slug material to the making of the die. Not to mention it just being pure luck at times for certain batches or single CPU's from a batch that exceed the norm. All of those add up so there isn't a way to say it's better than this unless they were binned afterwards.

well from a pure manufacturing standpoint you wouldn't get better ocing cpus if you improved the yields. you would more likely just improve the odds of getting a high ocing 6700k.
