I have a buddy that dropped 18k on 55C expiration of 8/14 for 50 contracts.... now worth 100k but he sold at 30k last week when I begged him to keep 10 for before earnings at the very least. Guy was sick all weekend

Over at Igor's Lab, sources have indicated that the upcoming Ryzen 9 4950X will have a boost frequency of 4.8 GHz, which is seriously impressive given that it's expected to be a 16-core, 32-thread part. As with any leaked information, we do have to take it with a grain of salt, though, and preliminary specs are always subject to change.  

The information comes from an OPN code Igor managed to get his hands on, which reads "100-000000059-52_48/35_Y." Decoding that, the 35 at the end signifies the 3.5 GHz base clock, with 4.8 telling us the boost clock is 4.8 GHz.

Is that really impressive?

When Intel introduced the CPUs of the 10. generation one of the accompanying innovations was the separate Vcore optimization for each individual core (also via software), i.e. what is called per core voltage adjustments. This is exactly how Intel managed to squeeze a really acceptable performance out of an actually old and inferior structure width. This feature will also be interesting for overclockers and it will be interesting to see how the feature will be integrated into the Ryzen Master Tool.



Interesting here is the first entry, which describes exactly this function. The abbreviations in square brackets stand for the respective chips, i.e. VMR for Vermeer, RN for Renoir etc. The entry for Cezanne (CZN) finally reveals that there seem to be already running copies for this APU.
