The AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 3700X and 3900X Raising The Bar
by Andrei Frumusanu & Gavin Bonshor on July 7, 2019 9:00 AM EST** = Old results marked were performed with the original BIOS & boost behaviour as published on 7/7.
Gaming: F1 2018
Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained; otherwise, we should see any newer versions of Codemasters' EGO engine find its way into F1. Graphically demanding in its own right, F1 2018 keeps a useful racing-type graphics workload in our benchmarks.
Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained. We use the in-game benchmark, set to run on the Montreal track in the wet, driving as Lewis Hamilton from last place on the grid. Data is taken over a one-lap race.

Nobody has final motherboard firmwares for these. We will see what they are capable of in the coming weeks.Maxiking - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Those cpus don't even POST past 4.3ghz, so no, firmware isn't the problem and never was and it never improved OC-ing, only compatibility and made systems more stable. They reached the limit of the node.Oliseo - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
"Those cpus don't even POST past 4.3ghz, so no, firmware isn't the problem and never was and it never improved OC-ing, only compatibility and made systems more stable. They reached the limit of the node."Like you've reached the limit of your ability to speak in a way that others can make sense of? Perhaps you need to focus on that rather than whatever multinationals are up to you're trying to defend. It will do you more good in the long term, trust that.

Sorry what? There are benchmarks out showing 5 GHz all core on the 3900X, that is with nitrogen, but I'm expecting at least 4.8GHz possible.Intel is worse per clock than AMD with the new node, plus AMD has about 105W to play with on the 3900X to match the power usage of the 9900K on all core.

4.8GHz won’t happen.RSAUser - Thursday, July 11, 2019 - link
There are reddit posts showing 4.8 on all-core, air, you'll see more posts about that soon.DigitalFreak - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
@maxking So you call out trolls while being one yourself.Maxiking - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
The only troll here is AMD. They advertise 4,6ghz boost while reaching 4.2 ghz and 4.3 ghz max when manually OC-ed. This is called false advertising and fraud.Oxford Guy - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
But we'll ignore having to completely disable hyperthreading on Intel's hyperthreading-advertised CPUs.Phynaz - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
You keep repeating this as if by doing so it will somehow become true.
