I7 vs ryzen overclock range difference

[Strivejaylen]

How come intel has a larger gap between base and suggested max overclock around 1 to 2ghz when amd ryzen has like half a ghz between base and overclock

 

Is AMD more sure there cards can run easier on heavier loads so they set the base higher compared to max overclock

 

Or intel thinks that the chips produce are easier to malfunction so they set base way below a reasonable loads they should easily handle

Ryzen chips are harder to overclock as they require a lot more voltage.

They're limited mostly by their heavier use of the RAM. This means that when you hit very high clocks you're not actually increasing performance that much. 

 

Intel CPUs need a lot of power to hit those 5GHz clocks, so they're not going to sell them at those clocks. AMD also has higher yields so in a sense they can set the Base a bit higher compared to the potential max OC
