What kind of runs and validation are these guys doing? I could hit 5ghz on my 5800x easily, but it’s unstable as frick. But I could still hit it for a bit, depending on the workload, and it was fun for a second or two

AMD Radeon RX 7900XT could potentially feature 3 GHz GPU clock

quote:

AMD leaker Greymon55 provides an update to half a year rumors on Navi 31 GPU.

The leaker now claims that the GPU might hit 92 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is 28% more than the previous claim of 75 TFLOPS. This new number is also four times as high as RDNA2 based Navi 21 GPU (RX 6900XT) model.


Oh my. MCM FTW.

Not sure a 6950 would be worth the upgrade…

Actually at 4K those are great gains.

But I wouldn't buy a refresh when there's such a huge new tech and power leap end of year.

Maybe it’s my horrible eyes, but I never notice a 5-10 FPS increase regardless of resolution.

Has it been confirmed that new cards are coming this year?

24% IPC gains latest for Zen 4. 5.2GHz out the box for 24 core 7950X.

Intel is so fricked again.

Ryzen 7000 is officially unveiled! OC's to 5.5GHz even above the rumored 5.4.

Wait... B650 is gonna have PCIe 5.0 for storage, but not for the x16 graphics slot?

WTF??????

Its stupid... B550 had PCIe Gen 4.0 for BOTH the m.2 pcie slots AND the X16 GPU slot.

Like why???? And a X670 EXTREME.... lol.

I love the CPU news - I am absolutely ticked off that AMD decided to do this stupid shite with their chipsets.

EDIT: LMAO EVEN BETTER...

PCIe Gen 5 graphics support isn’t guaranteed, it depends on the tier: you’re sure to get it with an X670 Extreme motherboard, it’s optional for OEMs to included it on an X670, and you definitely won’t get it with a B650, where your long x16 PCIe slot will be PCIe Gen 4 instead.


Like WTF AMD???????

In fairness, I very, very seriously doubt there is a gpu that will be released in the next five years that saturates PCIe Gen 4. We've barely saturated PCIe Gen 3 with the literal highest tier cards in existence, and Gen 4 has twice the max bandwidth of Gen 3. But Gen 5 storage is useful the moment it hits the consumer market. So while I obviously don't love features being left off of products, I have a hard time envisioning a scenario in which this matters for anyone in any tangible way.

I just hate that AMD has decided to do this and skimp on features.

Like the extent at which you can squeeze out overclocking on these AMD chips on both Ryzen 3000 and 5000 makes me very skeptical of overclocking on the 7000 series.

And having two separate tiers of overclocking with an EXTREME category is even dumber.

I say this as someone who did switch to AMD after building with Intel chips for years.

Edit: Hopefully all the chipsets have overclocking unlocked, like AMD had for AM4 B350/450/550 series

Well yeah, considering the top chip ships with a 5.4GHz clock already you can all but guarantee they won't OC much at all, maybe 5.6GHz which is why AMD demo'd it at 5.5GHz.

And to OC a chip to 5.5GHz+ you better not skimp on the mobo and be a cheap arse.

If you're going AMD these days you are going for enthusiast overclocking levels both CPU and GPU with clocks well above the competition.

I don't skimp on motherboards, I never have.

So many of the B550 motherboards had BETTER VRMs than the original x570 boards that were released, with some of that being updated with the x570s boards.

I just don't get why they are doing this. Well I do... and its for money.

Motherboards are so hard for the average consumer to shop for. I’m not sure that further product segmentation in that area is a bad thing. As you said, there are massive gulfs in feature sets between different x570 boards, which again, is hard for the average consumer.

I stand corrected, the 5.5GHz demo was NOT an overclock. SHEEESH!

AMD confirms Ryzen 7000 "5.5 GHz demo" did not involve overclocking - VideoCardz.com


So probably around 5.7GHz max OC's? Good lord.
